Hi Stefan,

I am currently listening to some of your stuff on SoundCloud in an effort to gain a better understanding of the dark ambient genre. I have had a go at stuff like this myself in the last couple of months but I realise that I have not listened nearly enough to other people's take on it.

Live at "Nerdlich der Mitte" is a great piece, all the more for you having created this in a live situation. I'd love to be able to do that

. I've probably got enough gear but I think "stage fright" would kill me off, and the thought that I would be absolute crap.

I like the way you used the microphone too, to add to your sounds.

cheers

andy

I had a rough idea of what I could do live, I was not completely unprepared, but I never rehearsed the entire piece, that was created from scratch. I knew, which patches I wanted to use, but I had not a written plan. When you see me looking at the paper, I was just searching for a patch for the microKorg in my patch list. I knew, that I wanted to play it, but I forgot it's number.

And: yes, stage fright is a problem. I would like to do that again, but I know, that I am also afraid of doing it. But it is a good feeling after the work ist done! Like after a long mountain tour: your legs and feet aching, but happy that you did it.

I am not sure, whether I am a good reference for that style... I am still not sure, wheather I sohould tag my music as dark ambient or as something else...

If you are more interested in this, I recommend this thread from a german forum: http://www.sequencer.de/synthesizer/...?f=93&t=115011 - just ignore the german dicussion, and focus on the (english) definitions in the first post and on the many videos and links to bandcamp. Lots of good music.
