Although there have been no recent blog updates, I have been rather busy with preparations for the upcoming E-Live concerts with the My Breath My Music foundation (which is exactly one month from now).
Besides some tracks from the latest release "Sessions 2012", we will perform some brand new music.
Last weekend I did a sort of session with Gert Emmens. Actually we have only been working for about half an hour to create a base for a new track for our E-Live collaboration. The remaining time we have had a lot of fun, and took the opportunity to make a nice series of pictures.

Every year, the German Schallwende e.V. foundation releases a dedicated compilation album containing new and exclusive electronic music.
In the past I have submitted various pieces which can only be heard on these "Schallplattes", which are only available for members of the Schallwende community.
This year's edition, "Schallplatte 15", saw the light, with the subject "City Sounds".
And this edition also contains one of my tracks, called "Dresden".
The disc contains contributions by Arcanum, Neuronium, Gert Emmens, Remy, Lambert, VoLt, JampyKeys, Moeckesch, Picture Palace Music, Uwe Reckzeeh, Spyra, WiesenBerg, Synth.nl and Mystical Light.
During my trip to Berlin and Prague, back in 2010, my wife Paulien and me also visited Dresden. Although we have been here for only one day, it left quite an impression on me.
In the night of February 13th and 14th, 1945, Dresden was destroyed for 85 percent.
Almost 70 years later, this capital city of Sachsen is still being reconstructed.
Traces of the horrible things that happened here can still be seen and felt.
On October 20th, 2010 I visited Dresden. It was a cold and rainy day. Dark clouds covered the baroque monumental city.
Slightly ominous, which characterized the history, and which emphasized Dresden's beauty and vigour even more.
With this piece of music I tried to catch the atmosphere I experienced during my stay in Elbflorenz.
As just told, the album will not be available, unless you are a member of Schallwende, but the first person who places a reaction on this blog message, will get a copy of this "Schallplatte 15" compilation cd!
