www.amazon.de/Thirteen-Stories/dp/B003B0KQ96

I´d really appreciate if some of you would write a customer review about THRITEEN STORIES there… :)
And for € 8,99 its a bargain for those who didnt want to pay the full price for a physical album as well…

My part was a laudation for the “best artist 2009″.

I will listen to a lot of “EM” stuff the next days, for sure :)

It is like looking into my own past, the late 80s, as i was listening to the radioshow “Schwingungen” full of “classic” electronic music like Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Ashra and the like…

On the other hand i had some really cool ideas for new 2010 stuff for ROLF MAIER BODE…

With vocals that include the german translation of CHALLENGE… Works best very loud :)

Using my analog hardware was a great joy during the album production, but i thought that it still could be improved. Each piece was directly connected to my audio interface and whenever i wanted to use two devices i had to go throgh ad/da conversion and was adding more latency… therefore i often didnt…

Because my working style is dependend on total recall i didnt need to put each device on a differnt track or bus an so i came up with the idea of an analog audio router. It can route audio from 2 different stereo busses to 5 stereo devices including a wet/dry mix stage and several other gimmicks…

Its the black 1RU piece of gear with the white LEDs under the blue germanium compressors. And it works great :) Now i can instantly try out different devices, combine them like a freak and drive everything a lot hotter… Including saturation to distortion of tubes, transformers and a variety of transistors.

If you produce music and are interested in remixing a THIRTEEN STORIES song, then please mail me. Send a snippet of one of your productions in the style you intend to remix and some information about you. I will answer with further details, if the style fits the general scheme of the remix album :)

If you really like to remix a special THIRTEEN STORIES song, include that info too… I can and will provide samples/files for ANY of the thirteen songs.

ATTENTION all remixers *****************************************************************************

If you have finished a remix, please only mail it as an mp3 to me as a standard email with your full name… i will then listen to each remix and answer, but it may take some days… good luck :)

I thought a deep, pumping style would fit best to the freaky voice of TRUTH AND LIGHT…

And here is an idea for a remix of CHALLENGE…

Please be honest and vote only ONCE! It´s possible to vote for two answers, but be honest and do so only if you really would make two purchases of the same album (for example mp3 AND Vinyl)…
