"The Constant" - My new band

A while ago my new band, which I am the drummer of, went online. Since the end of 2014 we have built this new band, constantly writing and rehearsing music over more than a year. The idea was to directly display ourselves with a proper design, web presence and recordings. Before going online we were able to record 3 songs at the lovely Studio4, where we had a great time - we are more than happy with the outcome.

The 3 songs we selected from our set broadly represent our music: driving grooves, catchy hooks, sophisticated samples/sounds and single-like hymns - but never without searching for something special. With 2 guitars and a keyboard, that on the one hand acts as an organ/piano/mellotron etc. and on the other hand as a live sampler, there are grand possibilites to create music. I am very happy to play drums for this band, but I am also very glad to be able to produce the samples and sounds for the keyboards. I also like to produce intros and interludes to our songs.

We are currently playing liveshows and always try to push forward. Feel free to listen to our EP below. You can also visit us on Facebook and Youtube, where we already gathered a solid amount of video-material.

Soundtrack for short film "Spuren von Ewigkeit"

In the christmas holidays, I had the pleasure to work on a soundtrack for a short film with my dear friend Marvin John Halog. The short film was written and produced by Niklas Bönsch and deals with a guy that is caught in an emotional struggle with his new love. You can watch it here!

The whole soundtrack was inspired by a track Marvin and my brother were working on for our new band "THE CONSTANT", which was meant to be an interlude, but eventually turned into a full song called "TRACES", when I was recording and producing it with my brother at home afterwards. He also did the vocals for the song.

In the movie you will basically find two states of mind, along with a scene in a bar, for which we chose particular themes. For the scene in the bar, we decided to write a short, melancholy cool jazz type of track, which had to be put in the background for atmosphere purposes. At the end of the movie, you will find the track "TRACES" in full length, which was source for the themes (minus the scene in the bar). Although the track wasn't written for the movie per se, the lyrics really fit the story and the music adds a lot of emotion.
It was a really fun thing to do and I would love to write a soundtrack again!
