"Morte et Dabo"A song about pain and hope. Part of the LEO Chronicles Morte et Dabo by Symboter ...
The golden 1920s in Berlin lasted only 8 years and were "golden" only for very few of the citizens, most of them suffered in the hunger winter after WW1 and most of the young and middle aged men, partners were gone forever. It took 20 years to grow up new childs who became soldiers and victims again in WW2. This song takes some fragmented snipplets of lightfeeted songs from the 1920s and let them appear in granular waves where the drama shines through the superficial and momentary joy. It is part of "The Leo Chronicles", a concept album about my...
ɡəˈhaːbəSong about an artificial intelligence which learns to speak and ends with the german word "Gehabe" (something like "strange behaviour"). I did work 11 months on this project. The song is musically based on a phoneme generator which supplies an interesting sound-color and forms the basis of the evolving story. Ge-ha-be by Symboter ...
Another Song for "The Leo Chronicles". This one is dedicated to Edith, Leos wife 1929-1935, my grandmother. Photo was taken in mid of 1933, at relatively good times, although the NAZIS already started their progrom. Edith was born in a christian family, then converted to jewish religion, then reconverted to christian again, when being divorced from Leo. In my childhood, I know her singing with a sopranic voice in church on rare occasions. She led a pleasant, but lonely short life, perhaps she was superficial, but more likely there was a lot pain underneath the well kept surface. This song...
This new song is about HASAG, a mighty Ammunition Manufacturer in the Third Reich. In special the song is about the factory Pelcery (Peltzer) in Czestochowa (Tschenstochau). HASAG was destiny for 10 thousands of forced labour workers, mostly young jewish men and women. Many of them died within weeks because of exhaustion or were poisened by the chemicals, died in factory accidents, were murdered by the SS after only 3 days of illness or just by fun. My grandfather LEO was forced labor worker in several camps after being in the ghetto of Krakow. He survived the concentration camp of...
Months of sound tinkering and subtleties. Now he's out: Cluster. A song that brushes sound and counter-sound with and against the line. I was inspired by a sound of the Omnisphere2, so I decided to use this software synthesizer in particular.Melody voice is a Waldorf Blofeld, that's almost clear, the Blofeld hoarded next to my Prophet 12 to the instruments with which I can best express what I want to represent. Cluster by Symboter ...
A song of impressions that come from the heart (heart) connects with the driving beat (drive) of the machine sounds.In addition, a pun (harddrive), because everything comes from hard drive and was generated electronically with synthesizers. See the entry in the records section about this song. ...
For a long, long time I wanted to develop a piece of music about Steve Reich's phase shift principle. To achieve this I wrote a MAX 7 for Live application (starting from the great Maxpatch by Akihiko Matsumoto), which in Ableton Live generates a musical phrase from 12 tones as a continuous loop and a second, identical phrase initially time-synchronous, delay each repetition. As a result, the second phrase shifts continuously to the first and interesting rythmic structures emerge as well as by overlaying the phrases also constantly other melody histories. A phrase shift to the next sound takes about 24 seconds. The instruments play the...
This is a track dedicated to the Omnichord Music Instrument by Suzuki. I did use the Q-Chord, which was manufactured in 2001 to supply all data via Midi to a Prophet12. The idea of this song is to bridge the time between the Q-Chord and the Prophet12. No data was changed in any way, the song is generated by the Q-Chord which you can hear with its original voices in the beginning and a bit at the very end. The Midi stream has been devided into various channels and voices, many voices are then Prophet12 sound multilayered.I hope you got...
