If you'd like to hear songs as they are released, before an album is finished, visit and follow my Youtube channel.

"Spiral Dreams" is an album of soundtracks
"Symphony of love illusive" is an orchestral piece strongly inspired by classical and baroque music
"Mythical Features" is the December 2020 album by Jeanette C., it celebrates music of the 70s and early 80s, covering prog rock, post-rock, funk, jazz, synth music and more
Crazy Drive is the August 2020 electro album by Jeanette C., spanning the genres from dubstep to drum&bass, from synthpop to techno.
"The cylinders and the spheres" is a 3d binaural piece. That means you can sit down with your headphones and should be able to get an impressio that the sound is all around you. I see it as a surreal scene with living things. You might hear it as something quite different. You can download the full Csound source code for this song or <listen to "The Cylinders and the Spheres" on youtube. I am sorry for the inconvenience, local versions will be uploaded within the next two weeks.
In the height of the moment is the latest album/compilation by Jeanette C. From hypothetical film music to programmatic music to emotional impressions this collection covers the incidental and purposeful. The compositions gathered span a range of fifteen years, from recently released songs to titbits lost down the back of the sofa.
"The ancient hall" is a piece scored for a brass trio, mixing gregorian, romantic and baroque styles. The atmosphere is well captured by the title. It is orchestrated only using sounds from the "Jeanny's Genius" soundset for the Prophet 12.

"Dream of Isabelle" is a wistful, gentle instrumental. It literally refers to a dream of a ficticious character. This is my contribution to Jamuary 2020.

"Beautiful, excellent birthday Yoshimi"! A very happy tenth birthday to the software synthesizer Yoshimi, this is a single synth challenge, resulting in a somewhat RNB/EDM power piece. This piece includes the officially approved "Will Godfrey favourite lead sound". :)

The Erfurt Sketches 2 (City of ...) is an jazz, chanson and piano album written and recorded back in November of 2018, after and during Jeanette's visit to Erfurt. Most of these eight pieces were composed during the three days there.
"The lonely wanderer" is an instrumental piece showcasing a Prophet 12 patch that will be part of "Jeanny's Genius" bank 5. It's a quite reasonable acoustic guitar, played in a style to match the instrument.

Congroovent is the electronic EP released on July 18, 2019 in honour of DJ and presenter Annie Mac: happy birthday! It spreads from synthwave to EDM to Drum & Bass.
"Chroming the dice" is another binaural piece, so get your headphones on to get the full 3D sound. It began life as a demo for the M Cubicon Csound UDO, a three-dimensional wavetable oscillator. This piece uses five of the wave-cubes shipping with Cubicon. You can also download the Csound code for Chroming the dice, including everything necessary to render the piece yourself.

Audierotic Synthspiration is an EP entirely dedicated to electronic music, from danceable EDM, to driving Drum & Bass to easy Synthpop to relaxing Synthwave. Besides five tracks released here earlier it also features the new synthwave piece "Enantiomorphic"
"Hatched from an empty shell" walks the line between music and a scene. Walking an empty stairwell with doors opening to empty spaces, before the room finally fragments and fades. The piece was composed in Csound based half on field recordings and half on physically modelled effects and synthesized textures. It is a binaural piece, so you best listen to it on headphones.

"In a room" is an electroacoustic hybrid room installation. It's a binaural piece, so get your headphones on.

"Kisses don't lie" is a power ballad, possibly in the style of the 80s. It's part of "The Essence Of". I actually dreamt the chorus and woke wanting to make it my essence of a powerful love ballad. Judge for yourself and let me know what you think. This is an instrumental only. If you are willing to sing the lyrics, get in touch.

Not That Innocent (instrumental) is still a work in progress, hence the instrumental version only. It's meant as a condensation of a certain style of music, extracting the essence of that particular subgenre for me. In this instant, this is a reverent curtsey to Britney Spears (and Max Martin). It still remains an instrumental, because it's slightly out of my vocal range, and daringly out of my leauge. Any takers for a round of provocatively raunchy lyrics? :)

Julius Quintus is an international LAU cooperation of Quirq and me. Over the past few years we have recorded some music, of which these are the first two small snips. We have worked on these pieces over the net and in one studio, using heaps of software and hardware. Software included: Ardour (2 and 3), loads of LADSPA and LV2 plugins, VST-instruments with Wine, Linuxsampler, Hydrogen and Nama. This is the first piece we ever did together. It started as a session. There was no metronome to guide it and no plan what to do and where to go. Now it's "Time To go" Recorded at Quirq's by the two of us, mixed and mastered by Quirq with Ardour3. It's been a pleasure!

The second piece of music to be released by "Julius Quintus" is "As A Cloud Passes The Sun, So My Life Turns Grey", a long title for a short song. Or better part of a longer work, still in progress. This was also recorded at Quirq's. And before you might even go that way: Julius Quintus is not a sign of patriotism for a certain country with a bad memory for dates! It's a play on words! :-)
