[Bach Recordings]
This site contains music entirely recorded, processed and mixed with Nama. Only special effects were sometimes realised using other text based applications.
- Free Samples Collection A collection of free field or environment recordings made with a Zoom H4N and directly dumped to disk. Everything from a visit to the bathroom to summer morning bird chorus or the train station.
- the Radioplayer is another mixd collection from the arcives, containing incidental msusic and themes for radioplays, both used and unused, jingles for LAC and a very small audiobook. Enjoy!
- The Boring Bits is a collection of unused audio logos and background music, which has gathered dust over the years. This also includes my first ever recording on Linux. Here are The Boring Bits
- It's called the last song, but it is not the last yet. :-) Though as the title suggests, it's a real piece of sunshine. :-)

- This is a Hymn of nostalgia somehow. Planned as a test for a new drumkit, it ended up as this. Remembering the old days, a certain series of radioplays. :-)

- Proggy B.day 2 Q is my solution to a negligence: I couldn't find a progressive rock version of happy birthday to you. So here we are, slightly cryptic in its title, and but not otherwise.

- Soit-il la Vie: Intense, Aimante is mylatest album. Composition and recordings started in August of 2011 and were finished in January of 2012. It's its own little Odyssey of genres and kind moods.
- A Year Starting Now is an album long finished, but never compiled and released in one piece. so htere it is, including the idea for it all, lame is it might be. :-)
- Another piece from the archive. Written and recorded around 2004 or 2005,I can't really remember. It's called the hour glass. The name is due to its inspiration, which happened to be a bit of incidental music of the German radio dramatisation of Terry Pratchett's "Mort" (Gevatter Tod). so that explains it.

- And the story continues... :-) Here are the lyrics for the song. A chanson, just piano and inadequate singing.

- "Get Onboard The blues" By Dave Phillips. He posted this absolutely fantastic blues song on the Linux Audio Users' mailinglist and then offered the tracks for remixes. I took part and mangled it. Here is the original Get Onboard the Blues (OGG 5M). And here without further ado is my 4 to da fl| remix. :-)

- Something from the archives: A hypothetical soundtrack, just called TL here. It's only piano and there's no editing, no error correction. I had it lying around for so long now, that I am almost sure, to never do anything more with it. So I hope you enjoy it. It's actually four themes in one. On the first one I expand a great deal, the other themes mainly just appear. :-)

- And even more from the archives. Something definitely not recorded with Nama, but with pure and simple Ecasound. And before you ask: It was late morning and I didn't even have a beer the night before. I do remember so clearly, because everyone I showed it to in those days, supposed, that I simply _MUST_ have. :-)

- A remix of a cult classic in my book, called 3D Demo Tune(mf). A tracker module, nowadays hosted on ModArchiv.org. when I came to know it, it was part of a demo package on my old SuSe 8.something Linux distro. I really don't have anything more to say, except, that I thank the unknown composer of this piece and SuSe for distributing it.

- The album from Packet-in.org for the 2012 RPM Challenge

- It shouldn't be said, that I'm a spoil sport or a kill joy - although I might be :-) -, so here's my contribution to christmas. It was done late at night, so please excuse the two glitches. I used aeolus. It's actually three Bach chorales from the Riemenschneider. "Herzlich tut mich verlangen" (from the Weihnachtsoratorium), "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden" (from the Matthaeuspassion) and "Wir Christenleut" (Again from the Weihnachtsoratorium). I know, that the second one is for easter, but it's the same melody as the first one and I just like it. :-)

- A Gospel for the old world is a mixture of gospel influences and easy listening and 70s music. It was done merely as a test for Nama's newest version.

- Mr. Marple, an origianl composition. A very 60s sounding tune, cmpletely recorded, processed and mixed in Nama. Instruments used were commercial samples of drums, harpsichord and brass, a free bass soundfont using Fluidsynth and a hammond sound from a hardware synth.

- Bar Pathetique, another original composition. This time a mixture of 70s jazz/funk rock and a bit of Bethoven's Pathetique 3 movement. Instruments used, were commercial Gigasamples of drums and brass, the free bass soundfont and a hammond sound from a hardware synth. Again all work was done in Nama alone.

- Feisty Dinner, composed by me(TM). :-) Again completely done in Nama using the typical mix of commercial and free samples, as well as the hardware synth for organ and Rhodes e-piano this time. An 80s jazzrocky tune.

- The Vision of Love, by me again. I called it raggae, others called it a mix of Raggae and Humpa or something new entirely. I don't go with that though. :-) The typical assortment of sounds was used. the voice was partly edited with praat to achieve the higher vocals, but all other effects and processing was done in Nama exclussively. You can also read the lyrics of the Vision of Love.

- We Failed, on of the first bigger compositions I did in Nama. No variation in the instruments, I'm afraid. It was all done in one night, that might account for the sometimes off tune vocals. Still I believe, all in all, it sounds quite acceptable. It's a darker sounding ballad, somewhere in between 70s and 80s. Rather aiming towards a bigger sound with simple arrangments. You can find the lyrics for We Failed here.

- Moonlight Cinema, again an original tune. At this point 25th of November 2009, the last one I've done. It makes use of the insert feature using a natural IR reverb via jconv. This piece has two parts to its name. A piano only part at the beginning, where you can hear the natural reverb nicely. The second part is an ensemble, with the piano still very present and always leading. It's a ballad with notions of film or theatre music, hence the name. :-)

- Dreams of Music (for a New World). I'm still not decided where to put it, in terms of genres. Starting with an orchestral, movie-like intro and then progressing to big pop, probably electro? Again the voice is a bit off, but I was told it's durable, if I promise to do it again. :-) and here are the lyrics for Dreams of Music.
