HOW IT ALL BEGAN & state of progress

Image
 First, there is a new song here: How it all began. It is just a little new thing that has been created. Second: There will be a new CREAMVIII release called THE GO FASTER E.P. . It will contain six new songs and will be published exclusively on MC/analog. More on this in a later post. The production will start Jan 6th, so the release date will be around end of February 2025. The songs are already written and recorded, on two songs the vocals still need to be recorded, then they all have to be mixed and mastered. Third: There will be a new TSU! release. The first (in a series of two) will be "THE BURNING TOWN REDUX" which will feature the 4 original remastered songs from the 1990 "The Burning Town E.P." and 4 newly created versions of these songs, newly recorded. This too will be on MC exclusively and be out end of February 2025. All songs are already recorded. One vocal has to be recorded. All have to be mixed and mastered. Now to the new song "How it all Bega...

The TSU! - Stompin' Crash recordings with Karl Parchow

Image
 Until 1990 I basically had been an island, writing, recording and taping all the stuff by myself and never gave it to anyone to listen to.  As the gear I used became more and more professional (an Atari-ST with the "1st Track" sequencer by Geerdes running on it and the Casio CZ-1 as well as a Casio RZ-1 for the drums, I finally thought, I could "dare" to expose me to the world.  On the other side, the internal pressure had built up with my life being completely out of control for a few months, so there had to be some kind of (pressure-)release. It is hard to describe, but I was actually "forced" by a power stronger than my own will, to publish some demo-songs. In the small-ads-board at the university I was looking for musicians to cooperate with me and I saw the flyer by Karl Parchow, a drummer who had simple and cheap recording facilities. I phoned him, we got a deal which sounded reasonable and I had 3 weeks to get my stuff together. Frantic re-editing ...

Geartalk I (1986/1987/1988): Specdrum and the CASIO SK-5

Image
Although I had been interested in making music, recording vocals and stuff, the first time I actually bought and used a musical device was this one. The Specdrum - this was a hardware addition for the ZX-Spectrum home computer that I had since 1985. My Specdrum was never as fancy as this one on the photo as the company in England that sent it to me (I had send them cash) obviously thought that for that bloody german, a used one without any packaging would be sufficiant. I could not complain legally, after all. Those were the times.  Here is a nice demo-video for the Specdrum Anyway I got it and immediately tried it and put it a away and forgot about it. I would like to recall that I had a plan, but I did not have one.  Then I heard "This Corrosion", I learned, that there are "Samplers" out there, and in one of our computer magazines they had a feature on midi-synthezisers. So I learned that Casio was serious, but there was no way I could afford a CZ-101 (that was f...

TSU! STUDIO RECORDINGS NEW MC OUT 2024

Image
This is a dummy-cover for the preview... I have been able to unearth the original master tapes for all the TSU! recordings we did back then in 90-92 at Karl Parchow's Stompin' Crash Studio in Kreuztal/GER. All of these songs will be remasterd (analog) and re-issued as C-60 MC. These were 6 recordings totalling in at 30 Minutes. The other side of the MC will be the same songs, but  recorded in 2024 (now). These are not the kind of Re-imaginations I have shared with you on this blog, but - and I will admit this - I had to get around the technology of music AI to incorporate it into the music of CREAMVIII. These songs have never been published digitally (officially) and will all remain analog (except for Eyes of God and Lethar Urban Zone). The MC will be distributed via our DISCOGS page and via BANDCAMP, with one track (Eyes of God) available digitally, but the purchase will be for the complete C-60 MC. Price, Cover etc TBA. The Songs are: Original Recordings for TSU! - THE BURNIN...

Don't Answer

Image
 One of the most important songs in the development of CREAM8 was the song "Don't Answer" by Claudio Simonetti. This song was the main theme of a late giallo called "Dial:Help" by Ruggero Deodato. As you know, genre movies have always been of high interest to me and so I wanted to cover this song. And it worked quite well.  As I am currently revisiting the the old pre-CREAM8 stuff with "TSU!" and the time after, I had the idea of recording this song again. This time with finnish artist Katja Savia. Sadly the collaboration did not happen as planned (this would have been COLLABORATION PART II in this blog) But Katja obviously liked the song and now has released her version of it. So here it is: Click HERE for the video

The Edge of Winter

  The Edge of Winter And as the dry leaves crack Under my feet And as the dark wind blows And as the rain falls down On my feet And as I close the show And as the soft touch fades Under my hands And as the dark wind blows And as there will be just pain Under my hands And as I close the show I am afraid there will be no more sunshine I am afraid there will be no more pain We're here on the Edge of Winter Two Hands keeping each other one's warm We're here, we've gone the whole way To the Edge of Winter To the Edge of Winter Two Hands keeping each other one's warm (TWO HANDS) We're here, we've gone the whole way (WE'RE HERE) To the Edge of Winter (ON THE EDGE) To the Edge of Winter (THE EDGE, EDGE, EDGE) And as the dry leaves crack Under my feet And as the dark wind blows And as the rain falls down On my feet At the Edge of Winter At the Edge of Winter At the Edge of Witner At the Edge of Winter At the Edge of winter (at the edge) (c) (p) by Boris ...
