about

I do not "hate" jazz. But I had to get your attention.🤪 I'll go one better and say: I actually "hate" EVERY genre. I see the risk of artist getting nailed down to one genre for their whole carreer. Colleges who work different often get the label "does not know what he wants".

I actually like the original idea of jazz very much. But even though I can understand the necessity of pigeonholing on the one hand, it gets on my nerves how first a label is stuck on somewhere and then the stuck object is criticised if it does not correspond to the "guidelines" of the category.

I hardly ever try to copy a style, because I have mine. And when it sounds similar to XY, then certain contemporaries say: "you didn't get that right". It looks like Pizza but it doesnt have tomato sauce on it so YOU FAILED! Yes, I know, that's how our brain and our world is organised.

And I am just like that, so I have to grumble about everything. Get used to it. Isn't that JAZZ, too? Hold on, let me just call Miles... Shit, that damned cool mothafogga is busy again.

On this album I play:
Real Drums (Sonor Kid Drumset) + Keyboard-Drums
Real (Bogart 5 String) Bass + Keyboard Basses
Some Acoustic Guitars (a greek SX Western and a dont know Nylon)
Some "I will fucking never be able to keep in mind its a Tele not a Strat" Squire Fender Copy ;-)))
Keyboards (all from Logic Pro X)
Keyboard played Percussions
Some angry shoutings in the drum booth when things didnt go my stubborn way during this "jams".

Ich "hasse" Jazz nicht. Aber ich musste das Label ja hier drüber schreiben, um Deine Aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen. 🤪 Ich setze noch Einen drauf und sage: Ich "hasse" eigentlich JEDES Genre. Und das erlaube ich mir deswegen, weil ich hier zig verschiedene Stile präsentiere, während das Gros der Musiker sich ja zeitlebens EINEM Stil widmet, oder widmen MUSS, weil sonst gerurteilt wird dass der Künstler "nicht weiss, was er will!"
Ich mag den Ursprungs-Gedanken von Jazz eigentlich sogar sehr. Aber trotzdem ich die Notwendigkeit von Schubladisierungen einerseits nachvollziehen kann, geht mir auf den Sack, wie zuerst ein Label irgendwo drauf geklebt wird und das beklebte Objekt dann kritisiert wird, wenn es nicht den "Richtlinien" der Kategorie entspricht. Ich versuche eigentlich so gut wie nie, einen Stil zu kopieren, denn ich hab ja meinen. Und wenn der dann so ähnlich klingt wie XY, dann kommt von bestimmten Zeitgenossen: "das hast du aber nicht richtig hin gekriegt". It looks like Pizza but it doesnt have Tomato-Sauce on it so YOU FAILED!!! Ja, ich weiß, so ist unser Gehirn und auch unsere Welt nunmal organisiert. Und ich bin eben so, dass an allem herum meckern muss. Gewöhnt euch dran. Is das nicht auch JAZZ? Moment, ich ruf mal eben Miles an ... scheiße, schon wieder besetzt.

about

Color-Head Hecklingen, Germany

My spectrum goes from super discreet minimalism to the most stressful hyperactivism. And there's also a lot in between. So maybe there is also something FOR YOU.

I play drums, bass, keys, guitars and sing. I also produce my cover arts and videos at bit.ly/35OH92L Check album infos for my great Colab musicians!
