This is a cover version of the Pulp Fiction theme that I recently recorded. Now for a bit of trivia that a lot of people probably don’t know (including me, until it was pointed out to me by a nice fellow via e-mail): The original artist of this song is Dick Dale and the song is originally called “Miserlou”.

This is a little concatenation of various leftover riffs that I mostly recorded something like 2 years ago when I first got my hands on an Engl amp of a friend of mine (that’s where the Engl in the song title comes from). Initially, it was supposed to be a boogie (that’s where the Boogie in the title comes from), but yes, I know, it’s not really a boogie ;-). See this as an experimental track with a bit of guitar shredding in it.

After being too lazy in 2000 and not having my equipment with me in Australia in 2001, I finally managed to get off my butt to record another Christmas Medley just as in 1999. This is a guitar medley of the well-known Christmas songs “Silent Night, Holy Night” and “Jingle Bells”. Merry Xmas everyone.

This is a cover of Nirvana’s song “Come As You Are”. It’s an experiment with the Native Instruments B4 plugin and my newly acquired acoustic guitar. It also features me on vocals (a bit out of tune sometimes unfortunately, but well, it was a quick hack 😉

This is an anti-war song I wrote way back when there was still war in Bosnia. I finally found the time to record it decently. But beware! It has me on vocals…and I’m not really a singer 😉 As usual I composed, arranged & recorded everything of this song, guitars, bass, keys, drums…and this time even vocals. The drums and bass takes were done about 2 years ago, in 2000. The rest was done in just about 2 days a couple of weeks ago in July 2002. Took me quite a while to record this baby, ey?

I was playing around a bit with VST instruments (in other words, software synthesizers) and came up with this little thing. It’s a rather guitar-oriented, progressive rock song that features a nice tabla throughout. Musically there’s a lot of weird stuff going on in the C parts of the song. Enjoy!

Just Some Song

This is a little tune I put together in a few days to further test the recording capabilities of my new AMD Athlon 1 GHz PC. It’s a rather happy instrumental song with a slower part in the middle and features lots of guitars and also some keyboard lines in the chorus. The day I wrote this song we had really nice spring weather with only a few clouds high up in the sky. So that might explain why it’s a happy tune just right for spring time and in the slower middle part you have to imagine some clouds that cover up the sun.

Simpsons On Acid

In February 2001 I bought a new PC (a 1 GHz Athlon with ABIT KT7A-RAID motherboard) and so I decided it would be a good idea to record some cover version to see how well recording works with it. And as I’m a big fan of the Simpsons cartoon series I thought it would be cool to do a heavy guitar version of the Simpsons title melody. This track uses 48(!) audio tracks and quite a lot of effects and EQs in Cubase VST and resource usage of my new PC was only at 25% 🙂

There’s a also a very special treat for guitar players for this song: The corresponding guitar tablature in PowerTab format.

I wanted to record some Christmas treat for a friend of mine. This is the outcome. It’s a medley of the well-known Christmas songs “Little Drummer Boy” and “We Wish You A Merry Christmas”. It was completely recorded on the 25th of December 1999 in approximately 3 hours.

Prelude

This song is a classical piano piece arranged for electric guitar, bass, drums and piano. It is quite fast and a very good arpeggio exercise for every guitarist (probably also for every keyboarder out there but being a guitarist I can only judge it from my point of view).
