Besides Hard+Soul, I am engaged in a band called Reegroove. Founded by Italian-based singer Tony Toma, the band focuses on the more rocking part of Italian pop music. With an original setup of Tony on vocals, Enzo on drums, and me on bass/vocals, we are unfortunately missing the fourth member on guitar. This is why we are now looking for a brilliant guitarist who can help us move forward. We are located in Ettlingen, southern Germany, and are happy to be approached. A hint of

Again found me a new instrument - this time a five string bass from Cort. Lot of new opportunities and fun again to work on new ideas. This led me to a new song that is more in the Dance & EBM category. Also playing around again with the Voice Studio from Moises to convert my own guiding vocals into a female voice that sounds way more exciting. Therefore - have fun now with the new song "Hey - Dance"

Happy to announce my new band Hard+Soul. Hard+Soul is a cover band from Pforzheim, southern Germany. Around singer Natasha we bring rock and soul titles not every cover band is playing, delivering straight beat and multivoice backing vocals. With me on bass, Thorsten on drums, Franz and Gert on guitars, we now have a set of approx. two hours and are ready to rumble. This promo track is from our rehearsal room, looking for gigs in region Karlsruhe / Pforzheim Germany. Franz (g

After having stuff more on the heavier side of music, this time I was experimenting with my AKAI MKplus midi keyboard and some more mellow e-piano sounds. Vocals had been multiplied to a choir with new vocal synthesizer functionality in Moises and we ended up in a classical Christian contemporary worship song. Wasn't ment to be like that, but it was a nice experience, learing some new stuff and entered another musical category. ON SOLID GROUND by Blackthorn Blossom

When I look into my DISCOGRAPHY I can see an endless list of 126 songs, that I wrote or at least co-wrote in the last 40 years of my musical activities. Starting with my first band Czaika Ranch back in the nineteeneighties I developed as a musician with songs over a wide musical spectrum. For me it is fun to now and then listen back into the cataloge and see how things developed. Probably you also like to dive into the Blackthorn Blossom universe - I built two collections fo

With new equipment (Tonex Bass Preamp) there are always new song ideas. Using a fat Ampeg bass driven sound was the ground work for the new song " Ruins ", once again something dark in odd times, but as usual still with some hope within.

Played two concerts with my gospelchoir GetUp, part in the band with my bass, part singing in the choir. Went well, will be the setup for the next years.

Gospelnight was great, 6 choirs from region Karlsruhe. For me quite a lot of work with lighting technology, playing bass for GetUp and mass choir as well as audio recording. Currently in the process of mixing the multitrack recording in my home studio.

The 6-string bass is back again. Next to building a quickly growing song catalogue with the cover band "Hard&Soul" I joined in July 2025, I took over the bass in my gospel choir as a substitute for our base player. A lot to rehearse these days, therefore no new songs.

My X32 digital mixer is back in action for your recording projects. Plus, I'm now crafting finished songs from band jam sessions of a friends' band, featuring exciting horns, rhythm, and guitar. Currently handling lyrics and vocals too! Let's create something amazing.

While the X32 is in repair, I continue songwriting with the Focusrite. Not able to play more than one instrument at a time anyway. So here the next song about the American tech elite going creep this year.

Sold the old Positive Grid Spark 40 and go me a serious amplifier, a Boss Katana Gen 3 Artist. This will help me through the next weeks until the X32 is back from repair, phantom power went dead during a recording session :(

Really fucking times. Writing against the blues will be my thing for the next years, I guess. But we need to keep going on. ​ ONE HOPE, ALL STAND, PUSH BACK, REINVENT

A little slow this year with new songs, to many things in parallel nowadays. But at least to announce the track " Moonshot ", other ideas are in the pipeline. You will find them in the album twentytwentyfive coming soon.

Hey, did you miss our Christmas concert? No worries! We’ve got 10 awesome songs from Gospelchoir GetUp Berghausen for you. Grab a snack, kick back, and let the music get you into the festive spirit!

The new guitar is driving creativity - wrote some more songs since then. The latest is the instrumental " Foreign Shores " that shows the versatility of the guitar, being crispy funky and a heavy rocker.

Got me a new guitar. It was build for me from the guitar builder David Wilhelm with walnut neck, plum fretboard and redwood body. The pickups are from Häussel. Looks great, sounds great , lightweight - for more fun in making music.

Sad news. After struggeling almost one year to find musicians for my band, I finally give up. I will now try another approach: find an existing band searching a singer / guitarrist and infliltrate them with my songs. Singers are well wanted today...

Having it a little cumbersome with the band, I keep on writing songs. Next song "Raindrops" is released. As usual I have fun sending out a pre-final version and then constantly improving the following days.

With our new guitar hero Hellmut we staffed our string department, still searching for keyboard support. But with the current setup we are able to sign for first gigs, starting December 2nd on the Rudolf5 winter fest at Karlsruhe.
