Feeding Moon Rocks To Cockroaches

Here is some new food for your ears. I just released the album „Feeding Moon Rocks To Cockroaches“.

I had some quality in the lab in the last days. Time to make some adjustments to the gear, fine-tune sounds, programming some things I had in mind already for months. These are the results of the sessions I had.
The titles of the tracks, well, look them up on the internet. You will find some crazy science behind them.

Needless to say, that this is another addition to my subscriber’s catalogue – thanks so much for your support!
All you other lovely people, feel free to support my music with purchasing this album for a few bucks or become a subscriber. In either way – thank you!

Love is the answer.

Tears Of Gaia – new The Lab single feat. Jochen Schrumpf on guitar

Tears Of Gaia – new The Lab single feat. Jochen Schrumpf on guitar

musik, The Lab

We couldn’t wait to give you a preview of what we will release in a few weeks, so here is a first 11-minute track. The Lab session with Jochen Schrumpf was pure fun and inspiration. In the well-known “Lab” way of working, we started to play with each other without prior arrangements and set no limits to our creativity.

Caution! What you will hear is improvised music without any rules beyond the logic or inclination of the musicians involved. It may sound like fusion jazz, Avantgarde or noise to your ears, but listen deeper. There are stories hidden behind the curtain of your preception.

And why is this track named “Tears Of Gaia”?
According to the Gaia principle, living organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a synergistic and self-regulating, complex system that helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet. Look around. There is something wrong. Gaia is the ancestral mother of all life, the primal Mother Earth goddess. And it seems their children refuse the gift they were given.

The Lab personnel:
Sven Kosakowski – acoustic and electric drums
Marc Mennigmann – piano, keyboards, modular synths
Ana Orias Balderas – bass
Jochen Schrumpf – guitar

This track was recorded at “The Lab” in Dortmund, Germany
Edited by Sven Kosakowski & Marc Mennigmann
Mixed & mastered by Marc Mennigmann

Dear friends, we could use some help here.
Sven and I have just launched our Patreon page of The Lab. https://www.patreon.com/the_lab

We have a playground here for true creativity. Improvised music is the game. With every bar and note we play, we follow the universal musical approach of Peter Erskine who said: “Don’t play what you know, play what you don’t know.”

Anyway this is far from mainstream and will never enter the charts or pay for itself by royalties from streaming. But this is what we want to do, because it is life, love, music and art all in one place.

Please support our work by sharing, donating, pledging. A little bit from YOU can help US, so WE can go on and be creative and create music far from the mainstream.

Spread the word and let’s see where we will land.
THANK YOU!
