Tonwelle: Recent Episodes

Many years ago in the good old 70th I have been listening to german electronic music pioneers like Ashra, Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze, and it was not only listening but also diving deeply into this world of strange sounds and bubbling rhythms. Round about 2010 I have been starting to produce own electronic tracks and really going back right to these roots of musical experience from my youth. So here is the result of exploring musical machines of the real world like the Minimoog, Novation's Ultranova, Korg's Kaossilator or Kaoss pad as well as virtual synthesizers like Waldorf's Largo, NLog or FAW's Circle and countless others. And, of course, many of the new music machines on iPhone and iPad, to mention Moogs fantastic Animoog, Nano Studio, Tempo Rubato's nLog etcetera. There is also a great affinity to Jazz, especially to the music of great Miles Davis. So I started composing or improvising some Jazz tracks too. Another kind of a sub project is to make generative music, which is music based on patterns or little sequences an then played by random or following certain rules. Ableton Live gives you a lot of facilities to let the computer play this way. Last but not least there is now a growing number of guitar tracks. Maybe my most beloved instrument which I learned to play as a teen. Hope you will have some pleasure listening to this stuff and, please, drop comments.
