When Will I Be Vaccinated?

It was a comedy show in Austrian television on 9th of March 2021. They showed a short section of a local news show for Vienna. The lady said “Wann werde ich geimpft?” (= “When Will I Be Vaccinated?”).

My brain started immediately thinking about a song with this phrase.

Two days later I asked my colleagues with different native languages if the Google translated results are correct.

A weekend later I had a dance song with seven languages.

Bday 2k21

In the year of 2019 I created on my iPhone a new birthday song.

This year I polished it up with my professional DAW and rearranged it.

It is my personal birthday present 😉

Wind Power

The Austrian Wind Energy Association IG Windkraft presented a Remix-Contest. They published some vocals, texts and sound samples.

I picked out the vocals, pieces of wisdom and a recording of the windmill and created this song.

Heidenröslein

I saw a documentation on TV about the history of Austria around and after the World War II. There was a school class that sang the song “Heidenröslein”. It was a popular folk song by Heinrich Werner based on music from Franz Schubert and on a poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

I found a recording of “Das Meistersextett” a successor of the Comedian Harmonists from around 1934 and used the vocals to create a dance version of this song.

Farewell

I watched TV. An old episode of Columbo (“Suitable for Framing”) started with this song. I knew it but I could not identify it. Believe me or not, Shazam helped to google the result.

It is from Frédéric Chopin Étude Op. 10, No. 3. His critics gave it the name “Tristesse” (Sadness) or “Farewell” (L’Adieu).

I decided to name it Farewell. It does not sound so sad.

Leise rieselt der Schnee

Leise rieselt der Schnee” (= “The snow falls softly”) or “Let It Snow” (from Google Translate) is a famous German Christmas Song. I found it also in my learning piano playing book.

Within a view hours I created this dance version with a very personal melody added to the original one.

All I Want for Xmas

I asked my colleagues in the USA which Christmas carols are well known and played on the radio. All of them answered “All I Want for Christmas is You” from Mariah Carey.

That was a mistake. Hours later, I was in the studio working on an instrumental version.

Here is a version with vocals.

This is for promotion only. The original song is here.

Jingle Bells

In the Advent season almost all radio stations play Christmas Carlos, it feels like they are around the clock.

When I cleaned up my desk while I listened to radio I found my music book. And on the last page there is “Jingle Bells“.

That motivated me to create a new and fresh dance version.
