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.
Feel free to reply over there in English, Dutch, or whatever you want

The most important music gear fair (namm2009) is behind us and slowly we get a grasp of what oddities we can buy the coming year. First we take a look at this very guitar Rack.

Building a guitar Wine Rack is so wrong in many ways. It implies that Guitar players have an excellent taste. This manufacturer must understand that if such a guitarplayer is to be found, he probably couldn’t afford the proper wine to fill such a rack.
My guess: this thing will wind up in a shoddy dressing room with cigarette stains filled with half empty beer-bottles.

If you fit the above description you can always go to:

More Namm2009 oddities coming!

What happens when Schnauzer is not in the studio and is called the out last minute to do a DUO-gig with a hot London female soulsinger? You guessed correctly. They do a groovy evening ON stage, and… later they share a dressing room…the evening is still young, and so are they….. Well, see for yourself…

Very happy with the result on the wall, Schnauzer does the jazz hands. ‘Be Grateful for small mercys’
