About two weeks ago I got an email from Jon Spriggs, the man behind CCHits.net. It’s a website promoting Creative Commons licensed music and podcasts. Once a CC song is submitted, users can vote for it resulting in a chart of currently popular Creative Commons music.
As it turns out, someone submitted my piano piece “One Almost Perfect Night” to CCHits.net. I’m not quite sure how the submission process works. Maybe it’s by recommodation, because Jon asked me for CC songs I like. I told him about “Flachback Forward” by Strobotone, which is really awesome.
Anyway, thanks to the person who submitted my song! I’m very honored.
If you’d like to vote for “One Almost Perfect Night”, please do so on this page.
It’s finally done. After almost two years I’ve got a new release for you. It’s a piano peace, which will be part of the forthcoming Lorino album I’m currently working on.
As the title might suggest it’s a slow piece. I wrote it when I was in a melancholic mood, remembering people who I spent plenty of happy time with but for one reason or another don’t anymore. You’ll probably like it most when you’re in a similar mood, lost in thought, remembering old times and old friends.

For the last few months I’ve been heavily working on my project Lorino. I’m planing to release a CC licensed album with about twelve piano pieces on it. The composition is almost done and I’m going to focus on the post production during the next weeks. But don’t expect it to be finished before August. I’ve got lots of other stuff to do at the moment and can’t focus on music as much as I would like to.
At least on song will be released in advance of the album. It is called “Melancholy” and the music notation is already done. This weekend I was looking for a picture which I could use as a cover. I’ve been using CC licensed images as a basis for the covers for some time and I think it’s better to reuse great material of someone else than to try to make something more or less acceptable out of my own pictures.
The picture you can see above and which I’m going to use as a cover for “Melancholy” is “It’s Christmas! No, it’s a stoplight! No, it’s rain!” by Jack Mayer and is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License.

Nach etwas längerer Abwesenheit gibt es endlich wieder etwas Neues von mir. Das zweite Lorino Klavierstück ist fertig und kommt wie auch das erste mit PDF Klaviernoten und Lilypond-Quelltext. Dieses Mal habe ich deutlich mehr Mühe in die Qualität der Aufnahme investiert, was sich durchaus gelohnt hat. Hört rein, spielt selbst. Viel Spaß damit. Read the rest of this entry »

Das erste Stück von Lorino ist fertig. Wie bereits erwähnt handelt es sich dabei um ein Klavierstück.
Ein Teil der Melodie enstand bereits im Januar, als ich in einer recht depressiven Stimmung eine ganze Zeit lang auf meinem Ion herumgeklimpert habe. Read the rest of this entry »
So, der erste Alex Due Track ist fertig. Angefangen habe ich damit schon im April. Aber wer selbst Musik macht wird den Effekt kennen. Man fängt was neues an, hat das Gefühl, dass es konnte total der Bringer werden könnte und kommt dann an einer Stelle einfach nicht weiter … oder an zwei Stellen … oder drei … 😉
