Ein weiteres Intro von mir für die Podcast-Reihe zum Horror-Rollenspiel
MYTHOS WORLD, das bald bei System
Matters erscheint. Diese Intros zu bauen, macht großen Spaß.
Vielleicht mache ich noch etwas längere Stücke draus und versammle
diese nochmal. We'll see. Es gibt noch was in der Mache. Hier geht's zu
den Podcast-Folgen zu: ...
Mythos World
27.08.20 - PODCAST-INTRO FÜR SYSTEM MATTERS
Ich fröhne seit Längerem wieder dem Hobby der Hobbies: Pen &
Paper Rollenspiele. Damn right! Und wenn sonst in Sachen Musik zzt. ja
einiges etwas erschwert ist, habe ich doch die Zeit mal genutzt, um beides
miteinander zu verbinden. Eines der Ergebnisse: Das Intro für die
"2. Staffel" des Podcasts zu DUNGEON CRAWL CLASSICS (so gut!)
vom System Matters Verlag. Ich freue mich sehr, dass ich dem Ganzen ein
klingendes Gewand geben durfte. More to come! Tausend Dank an Robert Hauspurg
fürs Mastern!!
Hier geht's zur aktuellen Podcastfolge: DCC
#14 Der Rat der Weisen I, bei dem ich im auch ein paar dringende Fragen
gestellt habe. Logo.
01.03.20 - EINFACH NUR TANZEN NENNEN
Ampl:tude haben 2019 ausgesetzt und sind jetzt, wie immer mal wieder,
ein bisschen zurück. diese band, die ich gerne "meine synthi-keyboard-band"
nenne, ist ein gelegentlicher gast. vielleicht für manche noch mit
gedanken an früher verbunden, für andere wieder irgendwie retro
oder so "computerspielemusik". für mich, für uns hängt
mehr dran. wer das hier liest ist web 1.0 und versteht, wenn ich sage:
danke Karl!

12.04.11 - WORDS ABOUT WHATEVER
kleiner text:
Wenn der Zweck die Mittel heiligt, dann haben wir es hier mit einer sich
selbst in den Schwanz beissenden Doppelfrechheit zu tun. Der allmächtige
Dilletantismus und das über dem Können stehende einfach-machen
sind Zündkerze, lange Leitung und Teilchenbeschleuniger zugleich.
Vielleicht ein Keyboard, vielleicht eine Triangel. Vielleicht der Schmadder
aus alter Cola und Fusseln auf dem Boden in der Ecke da drüben. Aus
allem kann man eine dumme Idee machen. Die Kid Ikarus Halbplaybackshow
auf Abwegen. Es lebe die dumme Idee.
11.02.11 - PIXIES
pretty last minute. the KID will, in some form, yet unknown to himself,
take part in tomorrow's actions at schokoladen. it's a Pixies cover evening,
introduced by some covers of The Replacements. it will be fun. >>> www.schokoladen-mitte.de
30.01.11 - TAGS

terrific! aces! mind bowling! foxin awesome! hugs and hearts to Rapid
Cities, my two Fs and everyone who made it happen. the fun included
getting kicked out of a basment at 5 am in Indiana, not being able to
close my mouth for a half hour on the 51st floor in Manhatten and running
through an open firehydrant with Shaun and Elisse in Chicago.
