In the program of the duo there are encounters of all kinds. In the "Suite hellénique" by the Spaniard Iturralde, Greek folklore meets both the waltz and the funk and meets the tango in Piazolla's "Café 1930". Michael Starke's work "Trois visions" deals with various encounters with God in the Old and New Testament, in Wolfram Graf's "Trois nocturnes" impressionistic soundscapes are confronted with modern tonal language and in the composition "Scaramouche" by Milhaud the composer integrated his encounters with Brazilian music and left it end furiously with a samba-inspired finale.

"German is my native language. In it I can express myself freely. I can experience my world, describe it, interpret it, despair of it and celebrate with it passionately - just with pictures, thoughts and words in my language.” Gentle music is rock, pop and songwriting.
Emotions, feelings, images or even stories from life accompany his songs. The musical influences come from rock, pop, colored with singer & songwriting.
Gentle music uses many genres and stylistic devices. It describes what we all know. Our life in all its diversity, beauty and contradiction. The 13 songs on the debut "Rokn, Roll LUNA" are colorful, fast, slow, happy or sad.
The album opens with the song "Die Fliege im Mobiliar". Biting satire about our human weaknesses and vanities. Rhythm and Blues, R&B garnished with a pinch of HipHop carry this song.
"I see you standing there" is a ballad. A piano intro opens the song. The music is soon carried by a driving beat, led by a dominant bass line. A spherical sound releases us from the song.
The song is a retrospective glimpse of one's own life. What would have happened if I had chosen this exit and not that one?
“You were like steps without a railing. With black eyes, with deep rims. To see you. But I can, I can't."
"Osnabrück" is actually country with British influence. It describes the love for the hometown.
"I have a one-way ticket back to Osnabrück."
"Without fear" is rock. The guitar with a danceable beat is dominant. The words are spoken rhythmically. The song is a rejection of hate, violence and racism.
Finally, the album ends with the song "One Love". It describes the love for a person and the grief over their loss. A person who can no longer be there. We can't touch him anymore, here in this world.
"Where are you?"
The album ends in this final song with a repetitive guitar sample. The thought of a heartbeat arises while listening. This pulsing ebbs and flows before it stops—abruptly. This is how the album ends. There remain question marks and a curiosity for a continuation of gentle music, grown in the kaleidoscope of these thirteen songs.
Gentle music - Rokn,Roll LUNA - in June 2022.

Hiding away with his grandmother Emily, Frank Pawler just wants to live a simple life, but a dark force he's encountered before seems to have set its sights on our planet. Together with his brutally brilliant partner Shotgun Selena, he goes back into battle. The wild madness can begin!

With »Blank« BONGEN'S present their fourth album. The band from Cologne, Olpe and Wuppertal makes German-language music somewhere between singer-songwriter pop and indie rock. Normally, the group around the brothers Mario (vocals, guitar, keys) and Oliver Bongen (guitar) is four in the classic band formation - with Theo Weber on drums and Jens Grebe on bass - but recently also more and more often as an unplugged Duo. The new album takes the latter into account. The instrumentation is largely reduced to acoustic guitar and piano.
"Back then over the quarry" consists exclusively of voice and piano. The fact that some of the songs came across as “unfinished” was entirely intentional. They should look sketchy. Rough. Naked. "Blank" just.
After the multi-layered arrangement of the previous album »Fragebuch«, the question this time was: what can we leave out?
A minimalism that reveals the core of the music: straightforward, earthy, at times rough storytelling. The stories tell of failure in everyday life. Surviving in the consumer society. Of renewal and forgetting. And the bright side of the apocalypse. There are memories of a village youth, a (fictitious) family history spanning decades and finally the comforting view of a chaise longue in a retirement home.
All pieces are united by the subtle look into human abysses, only to discover a spark of hope somewhere. Roughly in lines like this; "One light still burns in the graveyard of opportunities". Or: "Heaven is a spot in the chest somewhere"
»Blank« is distributed by Timezone Records as CD, download and stream and is available on iTunes, Amazon, JPC and many other online shops.

After two single releases, the album «The Willful Pursuit of Ignorance» is just around the corner. Eight songs with attitude that might shake even the die-hard stoner dudes from the Sky Valley desert.

The band has been working on their stoner rock sound since 2014. Influences like Kyuss or Red Fang don't stop the band from singing exclusively in the local language Euskara.
After their debut in 2017, another EP followed and shortly before the pandemic they released their second studio album, Dilmun. In 2021 the band released two stand-alone singles. After the first album Therion, her third album will follow in March 2022: Moira. In addition to the usual streaming and download platforms, the album will be available on CD and vinyl.

Good things can appear out of the blue. And they do, even if the world is caught in time and the past two pandemic years are more than blurred in memory. The initial spark came out of the blue and new compositions and texts were created by Klaus Ignatzek and Susanne Menzel, who not only appears here for the first time as an extremely talented lyricist, but also as a composer. The two well attuned musicians wrote the songs for this album within a few weeks. These are miniature reminiscences of places visited, moments experienced or encounters, often written in words and sounds.
Together with the outstanding jazz musicians Florian Trübsbach (sax), Sven Faller (b) and Christian Schoenefeldt (dr), they have developed and experienced fantastic musical moments over the past 5 years, which can now be found on this album. Colorful chords, energetic improvisations and rhythms, sometimes powerful, calm or elegiac, create a variety of different moods. As individual as the artistic strengths of each band member are, the common spirit and mutual musical support at the moment are absolutely in the foreground

Life in the twenties is characterized by searching for and waiting for something that you don't know exactly what it is. Between endless boredom and oppressive stress, between youthful naivety and bitter seriousness, between bubbling euphoria and devastating disappointment, Jacob Fortyhands find a sound that bundles all of this together as if under a magnifying glass. Preserved on eleven songs, "Caught up in Strange Ways" combines the multi-faceted songwriting of singer Lukas Heitmann with dreamy guitars, hypnotic drum grooves and harmoniously placed synthesizers. With the help of friend and producer Steffen Lütke, a work was created over a period of one year in the Fattoria Musica studios that is more mature, multifaceted, honest and melancholic than Jacob Fortyhands' first EP and thus the musical, but often also personal development of everyone replicates five band members.

The internationally renowned PopArt artist Andora worked for several months in tranquil surroundings: Rodenbach in the Palatinate, Bröckel near the Lüneburg Heath and the small town of Filderstadt. A fascinating experience for the cosmopolitan Andora, who until now has been at home in large metropolises. From the beginning, the grand master of colors recorded his impressions and his work during this time on Facebook. This is how a special diary was created, consisting of well over 1,000 postings and around 5,000 photos, which author and photographer Jens-Christian Schulze edited and put into book form, supplemented with many photos of Andora's stay in Bröckel.

A virus comes along and orders the cultural world to come to a standstill. But the universe is more powerful and cannot be stopped. With their third big bang, The Universe By Ear worked their way further into their own sound cosmos. After the liberating I and the structured II, the trio has now explored the depths and breadths on their third self-titled work. So it's not surprising that the almost 45 minutes of music are divided into just five songs, with lengths between 7.5 and 13 minutes. The Universe By Ear continues to use angular breaks and rapid changes as stylistic devices, but there are now more parts that breathe, proliferate and at times rebel against their creators. And in the same breath, the lyrics that deal with dystopias, self-discovery and life also gain more weight. As always, not easy fare, but a massive work.

After his great success at the German Rock & Pop Prize 2021, in which SCHULTE published six awards (Best CD Album 2021 - English-language, Best Rock Album 2021, Best Rock Singer 2021, Best Rock & Pop Artist 2021, Best Solo Singer for foreign and original compositions 2021). SCHULTE in his second published album "PENSION" (release May 2022) eight titles of different styles with a modern touch!
With Conny Conrad, the producer who has won international music awards, who unfortunately passed away in December 2021, a musical work has been created in which Schulte's lyrics also make you sit up and take notice.
Schulte processes past and present situations in the lyrics and catchy melodies that stick in the head - but always stays positive, true to his motto.
Schulte, born as the son of a merchant on May 3rd, 1962 in Münster (Westphalia), founded his first band at the age of 14. Being also "organizationally" gifted, he quickly made a name for himself as a "rock concert promoter" and musician. From 1984 Schulte played in different bands at home and abroad.
From field service to sales manager of a software company, interim manager and film production manager to vice-president of an Internet & Web TV company, he still works today as managing partner of the company EGS-Optik GmbH (purchasing and marketing association for ophthalmic optics shops) and the company "Die-SW-Factory GmbH" (coaching cryptocurrencies & internet services) in Bavaria.
Despite his commercial career, the singer and musician Schulte never neglected his roots. He processes his life experience, especially in the time marked by Corona, in his second album "PENSION".

On June 24, 2022, 22 years after his debut album, Chris Colter's new album will be released on TIMEZONE Records under the humorous title "Nice To Be Back To Be Back Nice".
Most contemporaries know the powerful-voiced Bavarian by his real name Christian "Cheese" Koller and above all as a singer in bands such as Tana Nile, Snakehunter or the CheeseBallz. In the calm of 2021, Chris looks back on an impressive back catalog of 6 studio albums, one live album and 36 years of gigs on many stages in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Dozens of songs were written during this period and never released. The idea of ​​a musical inventory ends in summer in the Ostwerk music production studio north of Regensburg. Produced by Richie Necker, 12 new, exclusively self-written songs are created, which tell stories and dreams from the world of real small town boys in their very own way - sometimes like John Hiatt, sometimes like Bob Seger, sometimes like Blackberry Smoke.
In 1999 the singer / songwriter presented his debut album "Late at Night", which was recorded in Nashville USA and produced by Joe Sun. Back then, Chris was working with a number of well-known songwriters, such as Gary Nicholson, who can also be found on the then current Wynonna album and who had also written for Petty Loveless and Billy Ray Cyrus. Another interesting songwriter on "Late at Night" is John E. Moffat, who also wrote for Pam Tillis and Steve Earl, among others. He also brought some interesting musicians into the studio, who hired out to country greats like Lyle Lovette and Faith Hill. Late at Night was released by Rosewood Records.
The creation of the debut seemed to have electrified the long-established country squad around the German American Country Music Federation and Chris Colter was nominated for their award as Newcomer of the Year 1999 and invited to the big country gala in Chemnitz. However, the nomination remained. After all, the jury awarded the singer / songwriter the title "too rock for country, too country for rock".

How does it feel when you make yourself comfortable in the face of uncertainty? When you realize that all searches for meaning ultimately lead nowhere: Or to the heart.
How does it sound when you're desperate? When your own anger rebounds silently like rubber on someone else who doesn't want to understand you?
And how much courage does it take - despite all the storm clouds - to shake hands - soaking wet from the lukewarm summer rain, blinking at the sun?
The musician and artist, Philipp Astor, who actually comes from the circus and has traveled the world as a juggler, is perhaps best able to tell of the sad beauty of life. At moments he can also play the fool who is allowed to say what uncomfortable pinches somewhere in the conscience. He manages to do this without pointing fingers, with catchy melodies, witty lyrics and a good portion of indomitable obstinacy.
Romantic, sad and yet wonderfully encouraging.

Dagmar Wilgo is known as a recorder virtuoso. With her latest, third CD in the triad "me, myself & i" on TIMEZONE RECORDS, she makes a strong statement for the music world. She surprises us again with the future music she elicits from recorders. Their release concert is on May 7th, 2022. Recorders are a more or less traumatic childhood episode for many. For the musician, they are her life's work, to which she has dedicated herself body and soul. Always looking for outrageous sounds. Self-confident and creative as she is, Dagmar Wilgo explores all facets of the recorder. She was able to persuade seven well-known composers and companions to dedicate solo pieces to her for her project. In the album, these are combined into a contemporary improvisational firework - with exciting crossovers between genres and styles, analog and digital. Her recorders sound so confidently systemically relevant and completely attuned to the 21st century. You can literally hear the recorders cheering about their liberation from the niche as unicorns on the music market.

For his latest album "Wellentanz", guitarist, composer and sound artist Falk Zenker was inspired by dancing and at the same time created space-giving music that invites you to dance, let yourself be moved and dream away. His individual virtuoso fingerstyle meets the sound aesthetics of loop-based club music between downbeat, trance, funk, folk rock and worldbeats.
With this production, Zenker pushes his art of live looping to the extreme, which he, as the first German acoustic guitarist, has consistently celebrated and refined on stage in more than 1500 solo concerts for 25 years. He elicits unexpected percussive and partly electronically alienated sounds from his guitar and lets them dance together in the form of orchestral, psychedelic, pulsating sound structures. In such loops, finely balanced in the studio, he integrates improvisational moments from recordings of various live and online performances, thus combining audiophile studio production with the immediacy of a concert.
The video productions for all tracks impressively show how Zenker is able to spontaneously conjure up this sophisticated sound firework live on stage with hands and feet - produced exclusively in the moment with guitar, electronic effects, a loop machine and lots of atmospheric improvisations.
After a gentle opening, the tracks lead us into the archaic power of the forest, let us unite lightly with our shadows, move us dreamily on the waves of polyrhythmic 3-beats in the title piece, kidnap us into a powerful autumn-golden trance, drive us once again to the joyful one Move on and finally release with a meditative finish.
Anyone who likes to move to pictorial music should enjoy this album - real or just in their minds, together or alone, for self-awareness in a dance meditation or for inspiration in everyday life.

When a band describes themselves as "left-wing sleazy system folks", it's hard to deny a political attitude, but if you check JUAKALI's online performance, you'll see a lot of fun, buddies and very likeable guys at the same time. Everything is correct. Just like the next cliché, what you get musically dished up by the three. A trio likes to stand for straight, direct and high power.... Powerful dirty garage punk rock. Too fast for Stoner, too little Seattle Sound for Grunge, but contemporary alternative rock that likes to question genre boundaries when you look in the rear-view mirror. The voice is formative and certainly gives JUAKALI its own touch and a high recognition value.
About 3 years ago, the Berliners found each other on the RAW site, a nucleus for music, partying and alternative culture. And that is reflected in JUAKALI's short CV, because after numerous concerts in the Berlin underground, the band used the concert-free pandemic time to record their debut album. Quickly establishing themselves as the "pre-pre-pre-metallica band" (but that's another story), the three are now ready for the next step.
"No Choice" seems to be one of those albums that you play on repeat and just enjoy listening out loud. Good songs, catchy, yet rough and scratchy. There's a lot of 90's guitar sound to be heard. Hard, impetuous, forward rolling songs. Guitar, bass, drums are the foundation. You don't need more.

The new sound of graswaechstuebrall has been expanded to include the double bass timbre. It's almost exclusively an electric guitar meets double bass album. A dense, intimate sound, warm and touching. Stories freely improvised, with structure and at times a pop sound that cannot be denied a jazzy touch.
The joy of playing of Dillen (guitar) and Andreas Müller (double bass) does not stand still, but finds expression in this new long player.

Corky Laing, the last member of the original Mountain formation, has been continuing the legacy of one of the first hard rock bands with Corky Laing's Mountain since 2015. Recorded in Belgium in 2019, the live album looks back on the greatest hits of the band Mountain, which was founded 50 years earlier and to which Laing quickly joined. It's a kind of anniversary album in which the band around Laing has once again recorded a greatest hits live album.
Most of the songs come from the band's most successful phase at the beginning of the 70s, whereby the set list is also peppered with songs like "Long Red" from Leslie West's solo album "Mountain" or "Why Dotcha", which West, Bruce & Laing released , after Mountain split for the first time in just a few years.
With Mark Mikel, Laing has brought a bassist into the band, who also takes on the lead vocals in most songs and, vocally and in terms of bass playing, is a worthy heir to Felix Pappalardi, who was taken from his life early on. Richie Scarlet also shows on the guitar that he is an expert in his field and shines with sometimes brute style of play but also with ballad-like pieces such as "Theme From An Imaginary Western", which was written by Jack Bruce, with a soulful and warm style of play.
What has remained hidden for a long time is that Laing is not only an excellent hard rock drummer, he can also sing and contributes the lead vocals on some songs. The Dylan cover "Like A Rollin' Stone" is humorous, where he almost only accompanies himself with the drums.
The power trio shows that Mountain was rightly called one of the first hard rock bands, especially with the two hits "Mississippi Queen" with the introductory cowbells and "Never In My Life", which makes the hearts of rock fans beat faster and also the timelessness of many of Mountain's songs, including the lyrically rather somber "Nantucket Sleighride", for which Laing compares whalers and musicians who wanted too much and were torn down or disappeared into nothingness.
With this album, which is also technically well produced, Laing shows that Mountain's music has not disappeared into obscurity, but is kept alive by the band. One can quote a line from Laing's compatriot, Neil Young, in this regard: "Rock 'n' Roll Will Never Die".

The pianist Klemens Kaatz presents his new solo album "Speaking in Keys". In his own instrumental compositions he tells musical stories, poems, anecdotes and aphorisms. They are pieces that speak, acoustic narratives that seem to have a life of their own. The music is inspired by Balkan folk music as well as fusion jazz and modern classics. Sometimes it sounds weird and scratchy, sometimes light and lively, sometimes opaque and gloomy, sometimes rhythmic and tempting to dance, and it's always beautiful.

It's that time again: "Jäger & Hypius + Reinforcement" release a new CD. Due to the financial support from the city of Osnabrück, the likeable people from Osnabrück were able to work more intensively on their fourth release. The result is an inspiring homage to love. True to the motto "Only love can still save us!". Because probably only in this motto and the necessary sincerity is the key to peace, contentment and happiness.

Marco Pleil, the voice with electric guitar from Rhein-Main. Two years after his debut album "Die Spur des Kalenders" and the subsequent single "Love Greetings!/Jazz is not an option", the second album "Keine Zeit" is released again via Timezone Records.
Even standing still is not an option for Pleil! That's why he goes several steps further with "Keine Zeit". While "Die Spur des Kalenders" was a statement in minimalism, Pleil builds (in the truest sense of the word) on loops, beats and, above all, on his old love of incisive bass playing for the twelve new songs. The first single "Depressive Komödianten" combines the most beautiful New Order melancholy with college rock a la REM, "Aus dem Off" could also come from an early The Cure album and the second single "Schön Dich zu sucht" is an electro /Acoustic rocker in compact Hüsker-Dü postpunk songwriting. And before anyone asks: No, it's not a Corona album, neither about nor influenced by! It's the logical step that Pleil has to take. Live and solo, he continues to break the songs down to their skeletal form. But in the context of the album, there are now no more limits!
"Keine Zeit" was produced in the band's own "Bear Cave Studio" by the Cologne band "Locas in Love" by Nicolas Epe (including the Peter Muffin Trio, screenshots), Luis Müller-Wallraf (including the Giant Rooks, The Reality) and Marco Pleil. "Keine Zeit" was mastered by Christian Bethge (Gewalt, Messer, Stella Sommer, Heim, Pleil).
The bonus CD "More Time" contains six earlier Pleil songs, available for the first time on a silver disc and remastered by Christian Bethge: "Love Greetings! / Jazz is not an option", released in 2021 on the limited vinyl single, the "Punkt.statt,Komma" EP with three songs was Pleil's first release as a solo artist in 2013 and the "Gustav-Jäger-Remix" was only available as a free download for a short time in 2014.
