🇬🇧 The same day we released out fourth studio album ‘Keep the Funk Alive’ we celebrated the release with a live gig. This is the first of several short video clips we will post here in the coming weeks. Moritz Kruit performs a solo, an invisible Markus Kuczewski answers his phrases with his keyboard.

October 10th evening started nice and clear outside so i kept an eye on my Glendale app. I popped outside at twenty past seven, 19:20 and took a test shot. The sky was till pretty light but there was Aurora showing pretty clearly already. There followed quite a show but, the farmer was out in the filed sowing so there were bright tractor lights to contend with, hence there are a few clips of time-lapse and all look a little different, the main point .... what a show it was!

In this short episode, we're near Richmond Beach, Washington to watch some trains cut along the edge of Puget Sound.

The Trains:

Thank you to all the railroaders who report for duty at every hour of the day and night to make train operations possible.

The sideways architecture actually came out as a programming bug, but I decided it worked really well and decided to follow it thematically for this piece.

A video showing a young chocolate brown Labrador Retriever named Koa having a restless adolescent moment. The young pup, who has a small strip of white fur on his chest, is resting on a soft blue blanket in front of a brightly lit window. He looks directly at Cynni, who is recording the video, with big, expressive eyes. Koa pants steadily, shifting his weight, and lets out a series of soft, high-pitched whines, clearly wanting something but unsure of exactly what that is.

Cynni speaks gently to him in Dutch, asking, "Wat is er dan?" which translates to "What is it then?".

Koa continues to stare, occasionally licking his nose. Cynni begins listing everything they have already done for him, saying:

Koa interrupts with a sudden, short bark. Cynni calmly continues:

Koa lets out a few more impatient whines. Cynni says, "Nou wil vrouwtje even rustig zitten na het spelen met jou in de tuin," which means, "Now Cynni just wants to sit quietly for a bit after playing with you in the garden". They add, "En dan krijg ik dit," meaning, "And then I get this".

Driven by that restless teenage energy, Koa shuffles very close to the camera, filling the frame with his cute wet nose as he sniffs the lens. Cynni softly asks, "Wat?" (What?) and "Wat is het dan?" (What is it then?). Koa whines once more right into the camera. Cynni gently tells him, "Ik weet niet wat er is," (I don't know what's wrong), repeating it again as Koa finally turns his head and wanders off-screen.

Musikvideo zu einer Neuaufnahme vom Lied 'Schrottplätze', zuerst 2024 erschienen auf dem Album 'Sachsen-Anhalt'. Das Video wurde aus digitalisierten Familienvideos geschnitten und hat hauptsächlich drei Szenen: Ein Besuch auf einem Mittelaltermarkt, ein Ausflug zu einem Schiffshebewerk und eine Kutschfahrt im Wald.

Had been in a rut when I wrote this, and wanted to see if trying out FamiTracker again would help me get anything finished. Still proud of it!

Made in FamiTracker 0cc, modules listed in the title. No DPCM samples used.

Video made with OBS (recording tracker UI), corrscope (sound waves) and VSDC (putting it all together). Enjoy!

More acoustic than my usual fare, so it gets a different background. Sorry that the project file is a bit cluttered.

Apparently this was inspired by a poem I had to read for my studies in linguistics, but I have no memory of the context anymore. Still, hope that it's enjoyable for someone.

Created in OpenMPT, using the following plug-ins/samples:

From THInstruments: Blow Tenor

Video made with OBS (recording the audio) and VSCD (putting it all together).
