Advent – Open The Gate

I’m proud to announce my second music track on Soundcloud and Youtube. It is advent, the most beautiful time of the year, in wonderful expectation of the birth of a holy child. To show appreciation for this advent season, my plan is to publish an atmospheric version of a church hymn every advent. 
This is my hymn for 1st of advent: “Macht hoch die Tür”, a melody written in the year 1704, this advent hymn is #1 in the evangelic song book. Please enjoy!

Laws of motion

The song “Laws of Motion” (released 2015) from Man Without Country beams us back to the 1980s, it is made with a lot of retro synthesizer sounds.

Sebastien from Hamburg, Germany (http://www.sebastien-music.com) has done once again a great job and “upgraded” this song to a wonderful deep house version.

Soundcloud:

Say something

The song “Say something” from A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera comes with a very slow, melancholic atmosphere.

Nobody would have thought that a deep house cover of this song is possible – but it is! Sebastien from Hamburg, Germany has made a great job with his remix.

Bridget Jones’s Rihanna

The movie “Bridgit Jones’s Baby” has re-vitalized Rihanna’s great song “Stay” which was released in 2012. “Stay” is played at a main scene in the movie and underlines the dilemma that Bridgit is in. Because of the wonderful melancholic atmosphere and the text this song fits perfectly. This is the original music video of Rihanna.

This is the live version.

My first track on Soundcloud

I’m happy to announce that my first track is now up on Soundcloud! First I thought of sitting weeks in front of my Logic Pro in order to produce a nice dance track but then I decided to take it easy and just produce what came to my mind spontaneously. As a result, it took me just 30 minutes to produce and bounce this atmospheric track. It’s not perfect – but it’s me. Why it is called “wet summer”? Because the sounds are pretty “wet” (full of delay effects) and “summer” relates to the synonym Zweimal Sommer. Enjoy it!

Update Nov. 5:
I decided to make a little video for this track and put it on Youtube. Enjoy the atmosphere!

Zweimal Sommer

Just heard the new song of Philipp Poisel in the radio and immediately loved it. A wonderful song with great melancholic atmosphere. The following lines especially touched me:

Wann kommst du mich holen,
im heißen Julischnee?
Zweimal Sommer und zurück.

“Zweimal Sommer” is part of the song text at 2:57 minutes. Thank you Philipp! Wonderful song!

In this wonderful live version “Zweimal Sommer” is mentioned even two times at 1:53 min and 3:07 min.

Simply tilted

Christine and the Queens demonstrates the power of simplicity: For her song “Tilted” she made two amazing videos with great light effects.

Even more simple but still amazing is the lyric video.

Falling for you

The third part of Bridget Jones “Bridget Jones’s Baby” (https://youtu.be/mJsvmscPY9w) will be released soon in Germany but the title song “Falling for you”, performed by Ellie Goulding, is already shooting up the German charts.

The Youtube community has already created several nice cover songs, like this female & male voice version by Sara Farell & Simon Samaeng…

…or this electric violin version by Robert Mendoza.

A nice contrast is this rock version by Iacovos.

Bed of roses

Roland Kaiser is a singer and songwriter from Berlin and prefers ambivalent song texts about relationship. In this one he harmonizes well with Maite Kelly. The video was shot in Berlin.
