Alfred Himmelweiss spricht über unsere gemeinsame Arbeit
Wie Ihr vielleicht wisst, komponiere und produziere ich Musik zu Hypnosen von Alfred Himmelweiss. Hier spricht er über den Entstehungsprozess seiner Aufnahmen, wie diese dann zu mir kommen und dann weiter bearbeitet werden:
Ear Canal Inflammation
Dear clients,
in the last few days, I have become increasingly aware that something is wrong with my right ear. Yesterday, the hearing became so bad and the pain so intense that I visited an ear specialist. I have a stupid inflammation of the ear canal.
Unfortunately I can not work on music for the next 2 days. After that, everything is back to normal (hopefully!).
Thank you for your potential understanding. You know where to send the recovery gifts. 🙂
Chers clients,
ces derniers jours, j’ai pris de plus en plus conscience que quelque chose n’allait pas avec mon oreille droite. Hier, l’audience est devenue si mauvaise et la douleur si intense que j’ai rendu visite à un spécialiste de l’oreille. J’ai une inflammation stupide du conduit auditif.
Malheureusement, je ne peux pas travailler sur la musique pour les 2 prochains jours. Après cela, tout est revenu à la normale (espérons-le!).
Merci pour votre compréhension potentielle. Vous savez où envoyer les cadeaux de récupération. 🙂
Estimados clientes,
en los últimos dÃas, me he vuelto cada vez más consciente de que algo anda mal en mi oÃdo derecho. Ayer, la audiencia se tornó tan mala y el dolor tan intenso que visité a un especialista en oÃdos. Tengo una inflamación estúpida del canal auditivo.
Lamentablemente, no puedo trabajar en música durante los próximos 2 dÃas. Después de eso, todo vuelve a la normalidad (¡con suerte!).
Gracias por su posible comprensión. Ya sabes a dónde enviar los regalos de recuperación. 🙂
I do not sell my own music anymore
I decided to offer all my music for which I own the copyrights* for free, now and in the future. “Free” means all music I have on my own label (L2 Music) can be downloaded for as low as zero (all currencies, smiles preferred) or for whatever amount you think is right, in the best possible quality! There are no hooks, eyelets or hidden conditions. There is just music.
You can either stream my music for free via Spotify or stream and/or download at Bandcamp.
*Digital downloads, not physical products, of course. I have no influence on the price of my music that I have signed with other labels, hence I can not offer this for free. But all of my albums are on my own label, and most of my non-dance-music productions.
Of course, I will still do paid remixes (and receive royalties for those), and sign my music to other labels, mostly dance music productions. But music on my own label (my albums etc.) will be free from now on.
Why am I doing this?
It’s simple, really. There is no point in asking you to pay for the download of music files anymore when you can stream it for free already. Those who like to listen to music in top quality (the audiophiles among you), there are the free or pay-what-you-want downloads at Bandcamp.
Nevertheless, I would like to ask each one of you to support me by becoming my patron:
Thank you, no matter if you’re just a listener or paying subscriber/downloader. You’re all equally valuable to me.
Album: GentlemanRocker – In A World (Mastered by Ingo Vogelmann)
My friend George aka. GentlemanRocker did a rather amazing record called “In A World” which I had the pleasure to master for him.
I strongly recommend to listen and purchase it!
Think it sounds amazing? Great, check this out. 🙂
News on “Elegy For The Living”
This is the 1st album teaser for “Elegy For The Living” which contains 9 x 1 minute snippets from the first half of the album (a 2nd one will follow soon):
Note: The footage is not what’s going to be the full length music video which will be done for the full length of the album (approx. 70 minutes, 4K).
This is the first Q&A video, more coming:
Update on the album production
I’ve done around 30 different mixes, tried like 10 different guitars, mixing the drum kit and making it sounding right has taken an incredible amount of time, I’ve tweaked the tiniest bits of sound to total exhaustion.
Should the grand piano have more mechanical noises… should the timpani have slightly more reverb… should the guitar have a delay or not, should I add the cello on top of the full orchestra, or an oboe? Should I widen the acoustic guitar or leave it as is? Is this chord harmonic enough for the one before? Is the Oberheim too loud? Should I use the Gibson EB0 or the Les Paul bass, finger or pick? Stratocaster or Telecaster? This or that cabinet, or none at all, what amp? Distortion or slight fuzz, tremolo?
Questions like that are bothering me all the time. And the production is so huge that my DAW crashes at least 3 times a day. Plus, anxiety, doubts… because “is it all worth it? Will they understand it?”. Sleepless nights. Then again: “fuck yeah!”. It all sounds absolutely heavenly, I get goosebumps all the time. And nothing is even mastered at all.
I have half of the album sounding as perfect as it gets, with the needed amount of imperfection to become perfect. I open parts of it again, again and again… stuff that I did a year ago that doesn’t sound right today, and may sound not right next week. You get the idea. 😉
No worries, it’s all good. It’s finished very soon. Once it’s done I have nothing to do with it anymore. Then it’s a product with a life of its own, and I will watch it learning to walk.
I will reply to all of your questions in a video that I’ll upload to Facebook and YouTube, very soon.

This Friday, Stand with Bandcamp in Support of Immigrants/Basic Human Values (by buying my music)!
And so all day this Friday, February 3rd (starting at 12:01am Pacific Time), for any purchase you make on Bandcamp, we will be donating 100% of our share of the proceeds to the American Civil Liberties Union, who are working tirelessly to combat these discriminatory and unconstitutional actions.
This means, when you buy my music at bandcamp on this Friday, 15% from what you pay will go to the American Civil Liberties Union.Â
The American Civil Liberties Union is a non-profit organization whose stated mission is “to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States.” Short: they were the ones that sued Donald Trump, and they deserve all our support. Plus, you get some great music.
Here’s something to get you started with, my latest album from 2014:
85% of what you pay for my music will go to me. Also not a bad thing, if you ask me. 😉 Thank you!
