Fake News

I saw the discussion of the two candidates of the election for the president of the United States Donald Trump and Joe Biden on TV.

The next day I sat in my studio and worked on a new song. It should be something faster. Some hours later I had the basis of a nice melody. I saved my project and had been asked for a name. I remembered the confrontation on TV and entered “Fake News”.

From this time on the name persisted until I finished the song.

Last Day of Holiday

It was raining outside so I had time to do some creative work in my studio. I composed this track on the last day of my holiday.

Bring the Bass Back

I cannot remember where I got the inspiration from exactly. It was more experimenting with new features of my DAW.

Maybe got the idea during walking through the nature to leave the fourth kick away.

Falling in Love

This song is dedicated to my beloved wife for the twentieth wedding anniversary.

I got the inspiration while I watched Columbo “No Time to Die”, the only episode with no murder. This tune started at the beginning during a wedding party.

I also crated a version with the original vocals of Elvis Presley.

Flying Over Water

It was a rainy day. The rain pounded on the window.
I sat in my studio and played arround with some chords. Maybe the rain inspired me for this track.

Baby Elephant

During the Corona crisis our government in Austria published a lot of rules. One of them was to keep distance to each other of one meter – like the size of a baby elephant.

Several months later I saw a new ad about how to behave during holiday season. A police man explained to check before travelling if it is possible to keep the distance while I could hear an elephant trumpeting in the background (a great idea of the advertising agency).

A view hours later it rained and I started composing a song with this trumpeting elephant in my mind. I found a free sound sample and built around the music.

Tequila

It was a documentation I saw on TV where this song was played for a view seconds. I could not get the saxophone melody out of my mind.

A view hours later I sat on my keyboard and tried to play it.

The outcome is this dance version of this famous Mexican-flavored rock and roll instrumental written by Danny Flores in 1957.

Back To Normality

The Corona crisis changed all our lives and our behaviour how we live together.

In Austria we are going back to normality slowly.

This motivated my to create this song.

Row, Row, Row

I am a fan of Star Trek. Some weeks ago a saw the movie “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier” on TV. At the beginning and at the end of the movie Captain Kirk, Spock and Dr. McCoy sat in the Yosemite National Park around a bonfire and sang the nursery rhyme “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”.

This inspired me to create a modern instrumental version of this song.

Glory Hallelujah

This year is different than previous ones. Because of the Corona pandemic crises we are not allowed to celebrate Eastern with our family and friends together.

This inspired me to create a happy and dance version of the famous traditional country song “Glory Hallelujah (John Brown’s Body)”.
