about

My first real solo album. All music was composed, played, recorded and produced by myself. The main composition is a suite called "Music from the former Republic of Korgistan". This suite is build up in 9 compositions about the music of the imaginary Republic of Korgistan (based on sketches I made on my old Korg MS20 synthesizer). The other compositions are mostly longer works full of textures, moods and kaleidoscopical treatment. Woodwinds, mandolines and analog synths take the lead on this album. This album is very DIY-homebrewed far away from the actual presets and library mentality.

Soprano-, alto-, tenor- and baritonesaxophone, clarinet, acoustic and electric mandoline, bombarde, tin whistle, low whistle, tenor horn, kaval, drums, percussion, vocals, bass guitar, Sherman Filter Bank, inflatable mattress and other unconventional sound sources.
Keyboards: Korg MS20, Hohner Organa 60, Roland Juno 60, DSI Prophet 08, Make Noise O-Coast, Arturia Micro- and MiniBrute, Arturia MicroFreak, ASM Hydrasynth
