Taken by 2011

So, another year full of great music is over – and I’d like to share my personal favourites with you here. It’s a bit later than all those professional magazines, blogs and other media – but hey! I’m just running this site for fun. Anyway, I tried to find a place on the web for each song, so you could listen to those you might not know yet.

And by the way, it’s not a ranking, I just put the songs into an order that sounded good to me – like a mixtape in the good old days of cassette tapes… Enjoy it – and let me know if you like it!

Autumn leaves.

A beautiful early autumn Sunday morning – perfectly suited to record some dreamy vocals for the Heathen Dust album.

SoundCloud galore.

So, I guess it’s time to share that music with the rest of the world and get out of that closet that is my humble personal blog. I moved my songs to my SoundCloud page and added them within a player widget on the Heathen Dust page.

Maybe you’d like to spread the word? It would be much appreciated!

Villa Kunterbumms.

Not only is there a new song (it’s called Villa Kunterbumms and sports a mixture of some Dubstep-style bass with lush strings and some quite big drums) up on my Heathen Dust project – I’ve also received some really fantastic vocal demos from Lou Lou Mais (for La Cruelle Mathematique de la Passion) and from Mole (for Wake Up The Girl) this weekend. We’re now working on all the fine tuning and recording to make them just perfect, but I can already here promise that they’ll do some really awesome vocal melodies for these songs. I’m so much looking forward to hear what you think about them!

While working with these songs, I’ve also done a few improvements here and there to some of the other demos, so give it a listen too if you haven’t done so just recently.

Well, and another song that will come with some great lyrics from Lou Lou Mais is the good old You Know What You Got, which goes back to a demo that she did for our band The Hmn in 2010. Back in the days, we never really got to finish this song, but since it’s such a sticky groove and magic melody, I simply had to pick it up again and get it finished. So, look forward to hearing some more lyrics here too very soon!

Sommermenü.

So, the summer is about to being over some time soon. But to ease your pain when you’re cycling in the dirty city rain, there is some new music in my Heathen Dust album. It’s called “Sommermenü”, which is almost the same in English: summer menu. Well, you might think that doesn’t make sense, but don’t worry – it does. Enjoy the new song.

Love and other things in life.

I just returned from some wonderful vacation on the beautiful islands of Cabo Verde. Still sorting pictures and memories…

In the meantime, here is a new blog that a friend of mine just started a few weeks ago. Her name is Katarina Fischer and she’s a writer (well, she’s got a book and a second one is to be released in December, so that makes her a writer, doesn’t it?) and she’s got some really great stories to tell. It’s about love – a topic that many people write (and sing) about, but also a topic that pretty much everybody is interested in, isn’t it? Anyway, the only thing I have to tell you is that it’s all in German only. Apart from that, it’s great reading!

“Liebe geht anders.”

Summer music.

Well, I’m about to leave on summer vacation. So I just wanted to let you know that there is some new music around here. I’ve added a few demos to the Heathen Dust page, and also a lot of random stuff to those history pages too.

So, enjoy the music and have a great summer!

Under a blood red sky.

Another late summer evening in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen…

The anatomy of melancholy.

Last weekend, I visited the I’ll Be Your Mirror festival in London, curated by Portishead and All Tomorrow’s Parties. Besides a number of fantastic concerts (particularly Helen Money, Thought Forms and Portishead themselves), I got the chance to see an almost two hours gig played by Godspeed You! Black Emperor, who just reunited in 2010 after a quite long break since about 2003. I must admit that this was the most amazing show I’ve seen in a very, very long time. Overwhelmingly, physically massive. Simply stunning. Brilliant. Fantastic. Amazing.

Nørrebro at night.

Beautiful summer in Copenhagen – yesterday in Nørrebro around 23:00…
