"2009"
Time to say "goodbye". Will the economy really go down the drain?
Wicked song fragment in german.
But seriously: all the best to everyone!

File of the Week 49/2008:
"Total Random Sampling"
I just like conceptual experiments...
A quite simple idea: sample 2 seconds of random audio from 10 music-CDs, without listening or knowing which songs/artist got picked.
Have a maximum of 3 hours to create a small musical piece with those random samples.
Don't use any other sounds or instruments.
Since I don't do any "stealing-sampling" anymore these days, this -in a way- was a refreshing return to those early sampling-days.

"Tiggemann Film Excerpt"
Did some more work for the DVD-release of an indie-documentary by Marcel Schneider.
Although i don't agree with everything said in the movie, i think it does hit the mark here and there...
This film was shot right before the financial crisis everyone is talking about now.
An excerpt of the 50-minute film.
Quicktime7 needed to play this clip.

"Not The Fall Chorus Vid"
Trashy video for the REIZ TRIGGEER song "Not The Fall" (as posted week 32/08).
Chorus part only. Shot with a cheap cellphone-cam.
Somewhat silly indeed...

of the Week 34/2008:
"404 times F.U.C.K"
A video-experiment about the excessive use of the "f-word" in certain movies.
A closer look at the film ".45" by director Gary Lennon.
Telling a -in times- violent story about an abusive relationship of a NY lowlife-gangster couple, the language seems appropriate.
Anyway, i am not out to criticize this film.
The question simply was this:
Would one be able to follow the story (at least broadly) if ONLY the "f-words" would remain?
Best use QT7 to play this clip.

"REIZ TRIGGER: Not The Fall"
Roughmix of a new REIZ TRIGGER tune, made in just a few hours.
The alternative title is "Everyday is 9/11", as it's one about the fear of flying.
Have a nice flight...

"A Second house of orgies?"
Director Mathieu Seiler works on a recut of his feature film "Orgienhaus" (House of orgies) from the year 2000.
I then composed the music for this movie.
Now we talk about a new soundtrack.
Not having seen any bits from the new cut yet, i did some inprovising to provide temp-tracks, using the naive nursery rhyme-motif from the original film.
Three parts in one go: a hint of the vocal motif, some clustersounds and a more "seventies-pop-version" of the theme.

Does advertising reflect your every day roadmap or is it the other way round?

"Unsympathetic Finish"
I was asked to record a track somewhat similar to "Unfinished Sympathy" by Massive Attack for a corporate video.
So i took a look at the chords used in that track and did some fooling around.
This one sounds more like a B-movie western soundtrack though... :-)

A.T.L.A.S means "A TINY LITTLE AURAL SOMETHING".
It's a new label for those quickly made tracks. And this is the first one of them; made today, off-the-cuff.

"NIN: The Hand that bleeds (REIZ TRIGGER Remix)"
