All albums reissued on CD.

Some of you might have wondered, why I haven’t published many pictures recently. One of the reasons is that my latest works have become more complex. Another reason is, that I’m currently working on a new mockART album. The title will be Men Who Lost Their Heads. For the new album Christoph Dorner joined the project and we are writing and recording all the tracks together. But we are also working with some guests, as you can hear on our latest single Betörve, which means broken in English. The vocalist on this track is Hungarian singer Léda Szemerédi who also wrote the lyrics. Thanks are also due to Levente Dudás who recorded the vocals at his N/O/E/W/A Creative Music Studio in Southend-on-Sea (UK). The single was uploaded to various streaming sites including Spotify and iTunes. And certainly, there is a video clip as well.

The other single taken from the album is Lizard People. This is an instrumental track recorded by Christoph and me. You will also find it on Spotify, iTunes and other streaming sites.

If you follow my blog you probably know that the previous albums were also released on Spotify, iTunes & Co. If you need the links again, you will find them on the mockART website in the music section. But what you probably don’t know is that we reissued all previous mockART albums on CD.

Country Songs is our latest album. For this project we worked with various vocalists from different countries from all over the world. If you like to buy the CD, please visit our store on Bandcamp.

Living with Human Machines was our third album. It features three long tracks that were mainly composed with sampled noises and other effects to produce a movie in your head. You will find the CD on Bandcamp as well.

ION was originally released as a split CD with the Slovakian band Drén and released in East Europe only. The mini-album focuses more on the noisy side of mockART, with carefully hidden melodies. Now you can buy the remastered version on Bandcamp as well with all the mockART tracks.

After playing guitars in various bands, Reflux Ux Bisou was the beginning of mockART as well as recording music on a computer. We had to figure out how to produce sounds, sample our own beats and how to work guitars and vocals in the mix. Originally released as a very limited CD, you can finally find it again on Bandcamp.

The cover artwork was designed by me. For the new editions I created further artworks for the back and the insert. Certainly we would be happy if you would support us by buying a CD or follow us on the streaming site you use.

Today’s post is all about video. Well, mostly. I wanted to share with you the latest videos I produced for my music project mockART and another video for which I filmed some footage. Last but not least I will share a playlist with some exotic tunes to dream yourself away while you are sitting at home due corona.

Lets start with Russian Folk Song (Русская народная песня), the new sigle taken from my latest album Country Songs.

The single will be available on Spotify soon, as well as other streaming platforms like iTunes, Deezer, Tidal, Amazon and Google Music. As promised, the video you can already watch.

The next video is for another track taken from Country Songs. The track is called My Life In Japan (日本での私の人生).

The next video is by Ahl Sina. The band with members from Egypt, Germany and the USA play an interesting crossover where Metal meets Oriental Music. For their latest single No Boundaries/The Fall of Utopia I filmed some footage and therefore I would like to share the video with you as well.

In this day and age where you are not supposed to go out much, due to corona, I thought it would be nice to have something to help me travel in my mind. I thought about creating a playlist with some Exotica sound to dream myself to the jungle, the sea and other far away places. Later I decided to add some Space Age Batchelor Pad Music and extended the journey to outer space. Spiced with some Pop, Electronica, Ambient and other things it became a great means to travel in my mind. As you might spend most of your time at home at the moment as well, I wanted to share the playlist with you and hope you will imagine the most wonderful trip around the world and high above through outer space.

Looking for more music by mockART?

If you are following my page, you will know that I also experiment with music and sounds. I started my project mockART in 2006 and released some music in 2007 and 2008, before taking a break for ten years to concentrate on my photographic works. Earlier this year I finally released a new album, Living With Human Machines. Now I have remastered my first Album reflux ux bisou for re-release, and I am currently in the process of remastering my second album ION. This album was originally released as a split CD with Drén on the Slovakian label Už Bolo Dosť! Productions. After that I started working on a project called Country Songs which I want to finish before working on entirely new material.

reflux ux bisou comes with with new artworks and you can listen to it on Spotify, iTunes and other streaming platforms.

It features guest performances by Bernd Geiling, Sr. Gummishoe, Trini, Töffchen and Helano. Saboni and Le Bête Noire are available as singles as well.
