Marconi

After another year has passed since SunCatcher EP and two and a half already since 'The Colour Temperature' album. I will return on January 20, 2023, with a new single and two new albums. The first single is dedicated to Guglielmo Marconi, well know for all regarding radio waves. The single will be available as a two set download, first one being entitled FM 101.4 (three tracks) and the second download set will be a 4 track entitled AM 685. The lyrics were written by Gary Hunter (Kraftman) and the vocals are again by Lis Van Den Akker, known for her collaboration on the SunCatcher EP.

Straight away, you are looking at the extreme tight and conceptual artwork for all the next releases to come.

SunCatcher

I just noticed there was no activity here since March 2021. That will change for sure this year.

Silence is not always a bad sign is it :-) A 3 track EP entitled SunCatcher will be released early March and I am in the midst of mixing another concept. I don't know how many do read this newsletter, might see this when someone posts this sleeve on facebook before I do.

The sleeve for one out of four different download sets to come.

Ultraviolet (Diatonic)

The next single to promote the upcoming album The Cubic Temperature will be Ultraviolet. It will be made available in three download sets. One being the 'Pentatonic', a second 'Phototonic' and a third entitled 'Diatonic'.

The Ultraviolet (Diatonic) holds reworks of two of my favourite pieces of classical music. 

Gymnopedie Nr 1 is a song from French composer Erik Satie and Canon in D by German composer Johan Pachelbel.

Two videos were created in order to promote these covers

Ultraviolet

The next single to promote the upcoming album The Cubic Temperature will be Ultraviolet. It will be made available in three download sets. One being the 'Pentatonic', a second 'Phototonic' and a third entitled 'Diatonic'.

The latter one will be a special one, because it holds reworks of two of my favourite pieces of classical music. 

Gymnopedie Nr 1 is a song from French composer Erik Satie. This is a song with an atmosphere which is hard to describe, melancholic, dark and deep, yet still with a lot of hope in it. Second is a joy for the ear, Canon in D by German composer Johan Pachelbel. Such a heart warming set of layered strings, a wonder in itself how these musicians were able to create this. This is a song that is making me happy everytime I hear it, an indescribable beauty from beginning to end. I take it after hearing this many of you now understand my love for 'sequences'

I took a risk by releasing this, can't judge if fans will dig it or not, but, I did it as I believe music should not have boundaries.

El Que

October 2nd will be the day that Alfa Matrix will release their Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft tribute entitled 'Wir Sind DAF'.

Humble 808 DOT POP is included with a cover of El Que, which was originally featured on the 1981 album Gold Und Liebe. An album which still is a true masterpiece considering the fact it is nearly 40 years.

The cover is in the typical style of 808 and I am happy to warm you up with a little teaser: 808 DOT POP - El Que

Simply click the picture below and feel free to share and download this short piece of music, in memory of Florian, one these man machines.
