Why I will publish my next album on audio cassette

I plan to publish a new heartscore-album in 2018 and actually I am a bit torn between the available media, so I take the chance to discuss the Pros and Cons of CD, Vinyl and Audio Cassette. Or are there more options in 2018? The Audio-CD: The decline of the CD is obvious. On every … Continue reading Why I will publish my next album on audio cassette

Building a guitar: How does it sound?

Meanwhile I have practiced with my selfmade axe for a week or two and can present the first musical result. I have chosen an old violin-etude, which I had studied on the violin twenty years ago. The etude was composed by Rodolphe Kreutzer and it is the fourth of his etudes for violin solo. It’s … Continue reading Building a guitar: How does it sound?

Building a guitar: Day twenty-one

Today I reinstalled the electronics. The channel for the jack plug is now wide enough. I also screwed in the two covers, which I had sprayed blue yesterday.

Building a guitar: Day twenty

My guitar-adventure continues. Today I faced some of the problems, which had popped up last time. First I changed the angle of the neck to get free ringing strings. Because the bridge is so low I could not use a straight neck-angle and had to make it slightly upwards. Another solution had been to lower … Continue reading Building a guitar: Day twenty

How the hell the calender has moved to 2018? I had so many good purposes for 2017 and I fear I have just realised the half of what I promised at the end of 2016. Let’s take a look on my plans for 2017 1.”I will start with a new album, which will reflect modern styles … Continue reading My year 2017 in review and plans for 2018
