After being too lazy in 2000 and not having my equipment with me in Australia in 2001, I finally managed to get off my butt to record another Christmas Medley just as in 1999. This is a guitar medley of the well-known Christmas songs “Silent Night, Holy Night” and “Jingle Bells”. Merry Xmas everyone.

I was playing around a bit with VST instruments (in other words, software synthesizers) and came up with this little thing. It’s a rather guitar-oriented, progressive rock song that features a nice tabla throughout. Musically there’s a lot of weird stuff going on in the C parts of the song. Enjoy!

This is a little tune I put together in a few days to further test the recording capabilities of my new AMD Athlon 1 GHz PC. It’s a rather happy instrumental song with a slower part in the middle and features lots of guitars and also some keyboard lines in the chorus. The day I wrote this song we had really nice spring weather with only a few clouds high up in the sky. So that might explain why it’s a happy tune just right for spring time and in the slower middle part you have to imagine some clouds that cover up the sun.

In February 2001 I bought a new PC (a 1 GHz Athlon with ABIT KT7A-RAID motherboard) and so I decided it would be a good idea to record some cover version to see how well recording works with it. And as I’m a big fan of the Simpsons cartoon series I thought it would be cool to do a heavy guitar version of the Simpsons title melody. This track uses 48(!) audio tracks and quite a lot of effects and EQs in Cubase VST and resource usage of my new PC was only at 25% 🙂
There’s a also a very special treat for guitar players for this song: The corresponding guitar tablature in PowerTab format.

I wanted to record some Christmas treat for a friend of mine. This is the outcome. It’s a medley of the well-known Christmas songs “Little Drummer Boy” and “We Wish You A Merry Christmas”. It was completely recorded on the 25th of December 1999 in approximately 3 hours.

This song is a classical piano piece arranged for electric guitar, bass, drums and piano. It is quite fast and a very good arpeggio exercise for every guitarist (probably also for every keyboarder out there but being a guitarist I can only judge it from my point of view).

This is a very rhythm-oriented, short rock song. It uses the classic rock instrument trio – drums, bass and guitar (although the guitar is clean throughout except for a short solo piece where I use a distorted guitar sound). This song has been spooking around in my head for ages and I’m happy that I finally have the time to record it.

This song was basically composed shortly after a heavy car accident I had on November 6th in 1998. I began to work again on the song sometime in March 1999 when I started to record the basic riffs. The solos were worked out a little later, sometime in April and May 1999, but were recorded in the end of July 1999.
The song turned out to be rather heavy and also I do more guitar shredding than in my other songs (at least that’s what I think, but judge for yourself). This is also basically the first song where I really use the full tonal range of my Ibanez Universe 7-string (going deep down ;-)).

A very smooth and relaxing song I composed last summer. It has some nice, slow guitar solos (I think 🙂 and a cool bass line. I basically composed this song in summer 1998 when I first got my TerraTec EWS64XL and made a quick and dirty recording of it. In February 1999 I began to record almost half of the song. Now I’ve finally finished it and I must say that I like this song very much. The song title says it all. So come on and be lazy.

I made this tune as a demo for the Line6 POD for a befriended Italian guitarist. At first I just wanted to record some short jingles with only guitar just to demonstrate the capabilities of the POD. But later I loaded a drum soundset into my EWS64 and also made a drum track, then a solo line and so on. Almost all takes are first takes. The guitar stuff was all composed and recorded in about 2 hours in a moment of highest inspiration. That’s also the reason why this song is called “Too Short Moments” because these moments of inspiration are usually much too short (might also be a reason why the song is only about 2:20).
