The music on the player above:
DB and Powerjam were recorded live and direct to two mics at
Ben's Jam Nov 1st 07, Christian Spohn on bass and Steffen Stütz s.
These two cuts were deliberately extracted "as is" from the first set, a
continuous jam of 62 minutes lengh. No fx, cuts or eq at all.
Ben's Jam Impro 1 and 2 were (leisurely) recorded on July 5 at the bett-club.de.
No 1 is a drum solo on red baron, baaaaad sound quality but fun anyways.
No 2 is a 30 min jam piece morphed into one 17 min piece by two fades/cuts.
Claus Kiesselbach, MalletKat, Christian Spohn, bass 'n fx, acoustic drums only.
Philling Space Project was recorded live Dec 04 with
Janek Gwizdala on bass, Audun Waage, tpt, and Franco Piccino, keys.
SunRain (©) was recorded live direct to 2track (and cut down to about 4 min)
on Feb 07 at my Jam, with Matthias Vogt, keys, Christian Spohn, bass,
Jason Schneider, tpt

Apart from recording and performing with diverse projects,
I am currently working with amazing bass players to form the tightest sections
- in the literal sense. Powerful, subtle, intricate, energetic, sonically fine tuned.
And we are already out there, backing some fine performers.
Dream come true.
