music

is running, and I'm sleepy ;)
My old laziness is back, so I don't write on a daily base,
there isn't that much to tell anyway.
I met Elke (mentioned in the previous Entry called "sleep, oh sleep") yesterday
as she was recording at the studio.
She's different than I imagined her, but nice, as expected.
I'll see and hear her tomorrow morning, guess it will be a good start in the day.

Another sleepless night, including nice music and nice people.

"Altstadtzauber" means something like "old city magic" and is some kind of festival here
with more or less local bands (there were 52 bands over 2 days this year),
a flea market (got a pair of AKG K240 for 5€) and some other stuff.
Two of three bands I listened to yesterday were quite good, one was outstanding.
They're called "Free to Dream" and consist of 5 spanish and one austrian guy,
2 Guitars, a bass, a drum, an opera-voice and a lot of key instruments, like a Hammond B3,
a Minimoog and so on. The singers' voice is great and he has a good stage pressence,
the skills of the guy on the keys are outstanding and the others also know what thei're doing. They played some covers like "hush" from deep purple and a lot of own songs
which were too complex for most of the audiance maybe, but sounded just great.
I likely get the chance to assist the next record of this band and the "Peter Mayr Project" which
is another band (Acid Jazz and the like if i kept that correctly) of the guy on the keys, Peter Mayr. He's really a king on the keys, loves the B3 and the Minimoog and makes crazy great music.

I hope that I can do something with him, but I think that my stuff will be like childplay compared to his music.

Sleep is a nice thing, you always get it when you don't need it,
and the other way 'round.

And Sleep always reminds me of: "Sleep, oh sleep, why don't you come, take my soul away." .. and so on.
A great song of a great musician which I usually call "Elke, the unknown artist"
since I don't know any other name than Elke and she being unknown to me and
almost anyone, since she hasn't released anything, as far as I know.
But this woman is definitely an artist, I love her songs, even in the rather raw state.

Well, I hope that I can make some songs with her someday,
sing a duet (which isn't a good idea since it would most likely ruin the song), or just record her.
