But first MORE '...about EOS',


The CD contains 10 original instrumental piano compositions which are very
melodic because it is preceisly that - the melody - that I missed out of
most New Age music.
Clearly the influences of Vangelis, Kitaro and of course good old Beethoven
can be detected.
In the liner notes I explain the 'whys and hows' about every composition,
for example, the last composition 'Gaias Dream' is a dedication to Brian
Eno's Ambient Music, and so on.


'Home at Last', my next album will be all on keyboards, studying at the same
time multitracking technics, a new field for me, since I am a 'Live' player
all the way.
So, I wanted 'Home to be ready by may, but I'm afraid it has to wait a
little longer.


After that, my attention will be more focused in the 'Berlin School' style
of music a la Klaus Schulze TD etc. This style is a real passion of mine and
I could go on for hours about this.


The state of independence is very dear to me, hence the Pipe Dream Center.
16 years ago we decided as some other artists here in this area to leave the
concrete jungles behind and move out to the country and still find an
audience for your craft there.


We have a regular concert season every year running from may through
december, which features mainly original works, like cuts from '...about
EOS', or nothing but flutes, keyboard woks together with modern dancers,
poets etc.


For plain fun we have a thing here called 'boogie nights', where I play and
sing 50's, 60's
stuff, reggea, jazz, boogie, blues, have guest musicians sitting in and draw
an audience from a 50 to 100 mile radius. The PDC is the happening thing in
N.W.Wisconsin.
Plus I teach music privatly during the day, play friday nights in a local
restaurant and play for any occassion that comes my way.
Enough for today, E-mail me for more info, Tschuss, Thank you, Manfred.
