The first track from Stephan's segment of our performance at the 1993 GemJam festival in Sinzig.

The opening Act for the GemJam festival back in 1993:

DJ Ottic with the, back then, somewhat new DJing technique, of using two Commodore Amiga computers and the soundtracker, creating tracks completely loops from sampled loops.

The bloke without a baseball cap is me improvising some additional riffs on an old Roland Juno - sometimes it even works... :)

This is the first in a series of upcoming videos - I just captured the old tape on which we recorded this track here as well as the upcoming tunes, who are a mix of works by Stephan Riess, DJ Ottic and myself that we arranged and practised solely for this gig using my home studio Equippment.

There will be pretentiousness and material that, in hindsight, is a little embarassing - but some imo pretty cool tunes too.

Just in from karlbartos.com:

"The AudioVision team is happy to introduce our new agent Jean-Marc Lederman. To electronic music fans he is a household name for long: Jean-Marc worked for five years as a office manager of Belgium's Front 242 and as a musican for Fad Gadget, Gene Loves Jezebel and The Weathermen. Nowadays he's pretty busy producing with La Femme Verte and Ghost&Writer and launching a new online map of music.

As of now Jean-Marc will represent Karl Bartos in Benelux, France, Switzerland and Canada. See contact for details."

Nice! :) I think that's pretty cool news - a collaboration that everyone could profit of, Karl & JeanMarc as well as the future audiences. And it comes at a good time too, because just a while ago Herr Bartos announced that he right now is working on new music and plans to present it next year!

I'm certainly looking forward to new music from one of my favourite artists - and with JeanMarc he gets a representative who sure has been around the block a few times himself and who knows his business.

Just recently he has released a quite awesome album featuring coverversions of old classic tunes recorded with a whole bunch of talented artists - check it out:

A video I made using the covers of some of my favourite records.

A video I recently made to showcase some pictures taken in the Gulf of Mexico after the BP disaster.

A little song I made a while ago for Youtube - it's a parody of the Augustus Gloop song from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and, obviously, a riff on $cientology. Enjoy!

Oh - and if you're on the tube - rate and subscribe, obviously. ;)

Two more fantastic pieces of music that celebrate science from "Symphony of Science". Science FTW!

To have space like that... I'd have my little home-studio in it as well as my living space and there'd still be enough room left to play a game of soccer...  read more »
