A composition about how you feel when someone actually cursed you. And I am not talking about magical witchcraft, but the modern day version of this. Something along the lines of "Boy, you must never the sell the house!" or "You will never get a job around here again!"

Hi there, after all these years, roughly twenty since I fell in love with Robert Johnson's music, I felt like I could find my own access to one of my favourite songs by him. You know how hard it is, I guess, to rediscover what you resonated with when first hearing a song if this song has been done roughly tens of thousands of times by passionate blues musicians all over the place. Long story short: it's my take on it. I know it might not be yours. But I'd love to hear other versions, too. thanks for checking it out.

A rather silent instrumental (live recording) on the single cone roundneck. Composed for a former teacher of mine. Just felt grateful for the privilege of having had a good teacher.

A composition about beginning friendships. The title translates to something like "Ways inside of you" and wants to express the notion of the joy of travelling through other people's inner worlds.

Live Recording of an instrumental played on the Roundneck Single Cone. The title translates to something like "What the heck to do with it?" and the song tries to translate a certain kind of helpless aggression into music.
