20.10.20 - MYTHOD WORLD PODCAST-INTRO
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!



0?.0?.20 - LANGUAGE CHANGE, Y'ALL!
Big News: Ich switche hier jetzt einfach mal auf German, OK? (-_o)

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.

31.03.11 - PARIS, OLD SCHOOL




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.
