This is a last minute effort. I just played around, kept something, played some more, kept some more, mixed it, saved it, put it online. The title is a working title. I wish I could offer something more adequate, but it’s late and it would be too sad to miss the weekly deadline so close to New Year’s Eve. Anyway, this instrumental song features guitars and reverb.

This track should have some lyrics but it’s Monday evening and so I’m posting this as it is. The initial verse melody originally led to a e/C/G/D part. Maybe I’ll come up with a proper chorus at some point. For the time being, here’s an instrumental sketch.

This song just happened while I was attempting to write some progressive rock stuff. The ending of the melody was borrowed from an unreleased Manticess song (“Dragonfire”). I might still work on some progressive rock material later today, but for this week’s song I’ll leave you with this somber instrumental piece.

This tune is based on the idea that the piano is counting sheep. One note = one sheep. Next, two notes = two sheep. A new note is put at the beginning of the melody for each new sheep. The piano can be heard on one of the stereo channels. The other channel contains various other instruments who don’t really care about the sheep.

This song just happened after I put a new set of strings on my acoustic guitar.

Diese Woche gibt es noch ein instrumentales Stück. Es entstand auf dem Weg von Saarbrücken nach Schwaben, was auch die Erklärung des Titels ist.

Dieses Stück habe ich am 18. Februar 2007 aufgenommen und eben wiederentdeckt.

This happened when I went through an old Manticess song (“The Sun’s Song” – unreleased) and tried to remember the middle part. At some point I thought I could just write something new. The result is what you hear here.

This is an embarrassing attempt to produce a disco song. It turned into sort of a techno song. It was supposed to reflect the story of “The Martian”, in which an astronaut is stranded on Mars with 70s disco music. Anyway, it’s Sunday, in other words, it’s time to put something, anything out there.

Schon wieder ein instrumentales Stück. Diesmal gibt es Heavy Metal. Den Titel hat sich sicher schon mal eine andere Band ausgedacht, weshalb ich jetzt gar nicht nachschaue. Die Musik hatte ich bereits vor einem Monat geschrieben, doch erst heute endlich mal aufgenommen.
