2morrow is another day
My PC system is down. I don’t write more about it.

Ever since I was born, I put great value in music. I love to listen to music to catch atmospheres of time and place, or the imagination and phantasy of what a special piece of music evokes. I collect and try to remember songs, parts of music, and there are some symphonies, which I have in my head since my childhood. This is the reason, that one day, when I was small I decided to get the – MY – music out of my head. My daddy said, it would always be there.
So I learned the classical guitar for eight years, my daddy died early. I always had the music in my phantasy, or as I say, my “inner ear”. I felt very good with Arnold Schoenbergˋs approach to listen, play or hear music is good, if the individual human being liked it. Until today this is my choice approach.
In 2022, I realized, I need more knowledge and deeper education than I obtained in school or in the rehearsal room. I was used to play music according to my ear or written notes, but I had difficulties to create more than simple harmonies. Since a year now, I delved into Music Theory. The excercise before is a very easy thing for me, because when I hear the chords plus bass, there appears a very nice violin theme melody in my inner self. All this learning is there to make it easier for me to write things down.
In 2022, I studied how to develop harmony, melody, by themselves or in connection to lyrics, and the other way round. I learn, I repeat, I play on my instruments. I laid the basis for the next years of composition.
My “inner music” will be there as long as I live. Sometimes pictures combine, or video contents to complete atmospheric wholeness.
I wish I had the ability to write notes as fast as I hear my “inner music”. Maybe one day I can do this simultaneously, respectively gain the routine to sing and play an improvised guitar solo at the same time. It needs routine and training, but I know I am near to it, because as I say, there are only eight notes and their five friends.
