Ignoring all the rules the music business imposed on us, electronica artist Cocon released "Trip To The Essence" as free donation single today. It is an expressionistic song about nature and is recorded right there in the middle of the essence of energy. Donate your favorite amount of money and download the format of your choice. Ah yeah, I was in charge of mastering...

I recently mastered "Lower Bavarian Pizza Hits" - that's the new LP by Noah Monoton, Attune, Old Europe, David Schreck, Unifono, Relups, and NLY1P, who gathered under the name of Pan De Dan to support their local (and possibly the best) pizza store. From today on you can grab your limited edition vinyl copy housed in a special pizza box from Pan De Dan's pizza shop in Vilsbiburg EXCLUSIVELY! No need to argue about dinner today!

These cool fellas from Filistine release their new album "Lofe" today! We produced, recorded, and mixed that thing last year in November @Slash Zero Studio, the legendary Ludwig Maier mastered it, and now you should grab your 180g vinyl copy (or CD if you dig rare audio format), or at least give it a stream - you probably got some time to spare these days anyway...

At the end of 2019 I teamed up with Filistine @Slash Zero Studio and recorded their new album called "Lofe" (which will be released on April 17) and this is the first official music video (directed by Mr. Eberl) - Press "Play"!

Milk (w/ coffee) + MyMüsli + Mastering = great start for Dynamic Range Day 2020...
If you love music and are an audio nerd like me, you'd better check out Ian Shepherd's webcast tonight, as there will be lots of great sounding music recommendations and this year's award winner! Let's produce some great sounding records this year!!!

My friends from Burden Of Life release their epic new album "The Makeshift Conqueror" (which the legendary Christian Kötterl and I co-produced in August last year @Slash Zero Studio) via NoizGate Records today. Be sure to grab your copy at Bandcamp! You could also stream it, if you're kinda old school...

Burden Of Life released a new video (filmed by the legendary Tom Eberl) for their epic power ballad "Trust My Own Heart" (featuring Luisa Funkenstein), which shortens the wait for their upcoming album "The Makeshift Conqueror" (which was produced @Slash Zero Studio)!

The first post here in 2020 will be about my homies from Burden Of Life releasing their new video "Geistesblitz" (filmed by Bernhard Schinn), which will be on their upcoming album "The Makeshift Conqueror" - produced here @Slash Zero Studio.

With this playlist I'll quit 2019 and start 2020. If you are, like me, constantly hunting for new music, check out my TOP5 ALBUMS OF 2019 and hopefully you get inspired...

1986 - the year I was born, and the year my uncle Robert Porcodio was about my age. He used to play headless-bass (and wear this awesome orange jacket) in this legendary 80s power-ballad-band back then. Their legendary debut concept album "Argonaut Journey" sold platinum in Nicaragua and French Overseas Territories. After their song "Love Is Not Real" was not featured in the soundtrack for the movie "Top Gun", the record company stopped distributing "Isolation VII", which has become a bootlegged underground phenomenon ever since. Isolation was history, and history was forgotten. Finally Capitolism Records (those guys suck!) re-released "How Does It Feel" from "Isolation VII" to raise some money... well, at least they did something!
