"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 like conceptual experiments...
A 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 2 hours to create a small piece with those random samples.

    File of the Week 45/2008:

"Break my Window 96"

One from the archives. A not too spectacular beat from around 1996.
Guitar by Luigi Archetti if i remember correctly.

    File of the Week 40/2008:

"Not The Fall Chorus Vid"

Trashy clip for a new REIZ TRIGGEER song.
Chorus part only. Shot with a cheap cellphone-cam.
Somewhat silly indeed...

    File of the Week 39/2008:

    File of the Week 34/2008:

"404 times F.U.C.K"

Video-experiment about the excessive use of the "f-word" in certain movies.
A closer look at the film ".45" by director Gary Lennon.
I'm not out to criticize the language in 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?

    File of the Week 31/2008:

    File of the Week 30/2008:

"Cluster-Mania"

Providing more temp-tracks for a movie.
This is the greatest fun in creating soundtracks: doing spooky, evil clusters.




 
/_CLUSTER 2a.MP3
 
   
     
 
    File of the Week 29/2008:

"Not my cup of tea"

A "quick and dirty" track.
And cheers to that british girl.
I don't pee tea...




 
/_NOT MY CUP OF TEA V01.MP3
 
   
     
 
    File of the Week 28/2008:

"A second "House of Orgies"?"

Director Mathieu Seiler thinks about a recut of his feature film "Orgienhaus" (House of Orgies) from the year 2000.
I then composed the score.
Now we talk about a new soundtrack.
Here some inprovising to provide temp-tracks, using the 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.

    File of the Week 27/2008:

/_ATLAS 03.MP3
 
   
     
 
    File of the Week 10/2008:

"Ad Reflection"

Does advertising reflect your every day roadmap or is it the other way round?
How waiting on a busstation can bring up serious questions. Poor cellphone snapshot quality.

    File of the Week 09/2008:

"Flow (corporate video soundtrack)"

For the final version, the music for this corporate video had to change quite a bit.
Somehow, i still prefer the quickly made "western-version" below...




 
/_LEASE PLAN: FLOW.MOV
 
   
     
 
    File of the Week 07/2008:

"Unsympathetic Finish"

I was asked to compose a track somewhat similar to "Unfinished Sympathy" by Massive Attack for a corporate video.
So i did some fooling around.
It sounds more like a B-movie western soundtrack though...

    File of the Week 06/2008:

"A.T.L.A.S 02"

another A.T.L.A.S

    File of the Week 05/2008:

"The sick and lonely drunken Jazz Band"

Suffering from Influenza, drinking loads of tea and wine at the same time produces strange results indeed.




 
/_THE SICK AND LONELY DRUNKEN JAZZ BAND.MP3
 
   
     
 
    File of the Week 04/2008:

"A.T.L.A.S 01"

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; made today, off-the-cuff.
Music without purpose.

    File of the Week 03/2008:

"Pseudo-MS20"

    File of the Week 02/2008:

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

Remixing that HELEN HELL tune last week reminded me of my strange "deconstruction-mix" of "The Hand That Feeds" by NINE INCH NAILS in 2005.

    File of the Week 01/2008:
