…when you’re busy making other plans. Read how a short, nice, ambient track came to be rather accidentally.

I finally recorded what may well be the first-ever fridge solo in music history – and on the way, finished the arrangement for the track “Bottom Freezer”. Read on for first-hand info how to properly mic a fridge, and on using advanced design methodologies when just writing down a song.
Ever heard that someone won the “best fridge player” award in some prestigious magazine’s poll? If there was such a thing, I might be competing for that – enter “Bottom Freezer”, a track with a fridge solo!
Today’s Accomplishment: start of “Aeneis”
Take some very – very – old influences for lyrics, and combine them with Eighties rock music anger: the result is entitled “Aeneis” and is about to be finished. Well not exactly finished – but I managed to record the introduction, sketch out the first section, and compose about all of the song – lyrics still an open topic.
New track: “Shalom Sister” – bringing together tatooed cats, tech POCs and the history of sampling
Again harvesting through old Cubase projects, recording trombone, and learning how to program drums. Including a revisit of the drum tracks from the #twitterchords track “A Tätowierte Katz’”, and a nod to possibly the most important drum break ever.
A first mix of Sachsenbohne took place, and Orgeldings is sounding way better with a new virtual organ!
New Track: Sachsenbohne
Another track got recorded which I had composed yesterday evening – working title: “Sachsenbohne”.
New Track: “Orgeldings” (working title)
The “Orgeldings” brings atonal counterpoint – performed on a (virtual) church organ
“Twenty Twenty” – a whole bunch of tracks
Look what I found on my harddisk: a concept suite of 20 pieces à 20 seconds – a perfect fit for the #secretalbum!
Recycling old material: this one’s from my y2k6loopfest headlining appearance
