  • MAX – an Album as a Birthday Gift

    Today (December 24th of 2025) would have been my father’s 90th birthday. This album is for him.

  • MAX: „Design complete“

    Milestones continue to fall into place. Anna and I went into tour-de-force mode to complete the design concept and the design artifacts for the digital release, completing that by Wednesday.

  • MAX: Baby Steps for the Lausbub

    There is now progress in small steps, mostly behind the scenes, since last time we spoke. First Things First The Sapientia Salomonis Question I already mentioned last time that SapSal was considered a „risk item“, so I did things in parallel: Unfortunately, the wind chest was faulty for the 9-15 organ date, and the hastily…

  • Calypso Returns

    I redid the small modular build, called „Calypso“. Which includes two new modules. But otherwise, is not that interesting – or is it?
