What started as a spontaneous idea a few years ago became a tradition that I am looking forward to a lot: My three hours long birthday session! Most of the music will be improvised and recorded during the stream. I prepared some sounds and sequences but the idea is to leave enough space for ideas.

Welcome to the 65th edition of my Home Concert series. After my summer break in August (thanks for your patience) I recorded a new Home Concert. A lot of sequencer work went into this one, as well as spacey pads and solo stuff played live on the keyboards and my MPE controller.

Welcome to the 64th edition of my Home Concert series. Part 1 starts with pads from the Waldorf M and Iridium synthesizers, later joined by two sequences from the modular system. Part 2 is based on multiple modular sequences and some generative chords on the Minifreak. In Part 3 I invited a second Martin from a parallel universe to join me on the piano, while I play my “Elberfeld rain” field recordings and sounds from the Waldorf M.

Dear friends and listeners,

this week I recorded the 63rd edition of my Home Concert series for you. It follows the path of my recent livesets, which were a bit quieter, leaving more room for improvisation and spontaneous ideas. Sequencer work is also part of the set.

Dear friends and listeners,

Welcome to the 62nd edition of my Home Concert series. In this set I present four new (long) Ambient tracks. Most sounds are from the Arturia Minifreak, Sequential Pro3, Waldorf Iridium, my modular system and the Luftrum Ambient 3 library. All music was arranged, mixed and recorded in Bitwig 5.2.

This is the first part of my live concert at Emmauskirche in Wuppertal, recorded on March 22nd 2024. I tried to bring some of my already released music live on stage, so will find tracks from my previous releases and Home Concerts in the set. Part 2, which will feature more improvised and quieter Ambient music, is going to be released next week.

Welcome to the 59th edition of my Home Concert series. In this set I present five new Ambient tracks. I used a few instruments, which I had not in my studio for a while. Like the Moogerfooger Ringmodulator, the Modular system and the Waldorf Microwave 1 (in the rack off screen). Music was arranged in Bitwig using midi for the hardware synths and also a few software instruments. My main controller is the Midi Fighter Twister with a script for Bitwig.

Welcome to the first home concert of the new year. For this liveset I recorded five new tracks in between Ambient and Downtempo music. The Elektrons are back in business and taking care of the drums, some sequences and rhythmic patterns. Synthesizer sounds are mostly from my hardware synths, controlled via Midi by Bitwig.

The music of this Home Concert will be released on Bandcamp and the streaming services on the evening of Sunday, 7th.

Welcome to the 57th edition of my home concert series. This set features tracks from my new Dub Ambient EP “Aquatic Cosmos”, as well as two unreleased tracks. As you can see from my worried facial expression this set was very complex to arrange, while Ableton struggled handling the 41 midi and instrument tracks. This is my last liveset in 2023, thank you very much for your support!

Yesterday I released the 56th edition of my Home Concert series.

Part one is a new version of a track that I first recorded with the Jupiter 8 inspired synth by Black Corporation.

Part two starts with atmospheric pads, followed by a lot of sequences. I used pretty much all of my synths to record that track. Since I got the Kenton Midi interface for my Juno60 I can finally use it for programmed sounds!

Part three starts with a few sequences from the TAL-J-8 and I play a solo lead sound which I programmed to mimic a guitar. I use the Push3 controller to dynamically play the patch.

Part four closes the set with a 20 minutes long ambient piece in which most of the sounds are played live on the keyboards.
