Köln Concert

I hate music stores.
I hate the people checking instruments they barely can afford, showing how they play stairway to heaven.
That’s because I don’t see playing notes in any particular order is an art form. To me that is exactly the same as a juggling shop where everybody is looking at each other doing the exact same tricks with different color balls.

This guy works at a music store. This series had me laughing so hard it was painful at some moment.

Check all 5 movies , I don’t have a favorite. It’s impossible

It’s about time I’d show my face, straighten my back and give some of you music geeks a sneak peak into the Schnauzer CD production.
First Sneak peak : I wish a were a chicken, an hommage to a very old German song from the 1936 movie “Glückskinder”.

Ich wollt’, ich wär’ ein Huhn, -I wish I were a chicken
Ich hätt’ nicht viel zu tun, -I wouldn’t have much to do
Ich legte vormittags ein Ei, – In the morning I’d lay an egg
Und abends wär’ ich frei. - And in the evening I’d be free.

coming to a Schnauzer-CD near you soon

Derek Paravicini is 26 years old,  doesn’t know left from right and has trouble counting to 10. He was born blind and lives in a home for autistic people. Despite his mental and physical disabilities, he is a wonderful pianist.

My question is: What does that say about pianists?

Awesome tune, only not sure what a hornet has got to do with a bumblebee….

Just posted my first audioboo.

Audioboo.com is an audio-blogging tool which integrates perfectly with the iPhone…. Gone is all the studio-equipment . just one single microphone embedded in an apple phone can make you world famous! More strangeness coming to the schnauzerstudios.

Over at Yanko Design a posting is written about an MP3 Cassette player. Not only do you have to use your finger to rewind or fast forward the songs, they come in 45 min.- 60 min. and 90 minute versions. Exactly that last idea is a great one. Bring in the mix-tapes of yore. Find 20 songs you like and put them on a tape. It’s the most personal gift you can give or receive. The equivalent of my mixtape is found here.

Unfortunately the mp3-player is not in production … YET!

Sorry everyone, it is in Dutch, but I think you’ll be able to find the .mp3 button.
