It's been my new year's resolution for 2011 to spend more time making/recording/mixing music. To force myself into doing so, I decided
to put up this page and post one song I recorded every tuesday.
After eight months I couldn't go on with this. Having a stressful job and a family leaves not enough room to post on a weekly basis.
But I will continue posting songs every once in a while. If you don't want to miss a song, you can follow me on
SoundCloud or subscribe to my
RSS-Feed.
Since 2021 I'm part of a band again, Fahmi Friedrich Widmann, check our LinkTree page to see what we're up to.
Feel free to leave comments. And please share!

It's already week 22 but I just realized that week 6 deserves a comment. I like when a cover gets its own taste and flavor. The sparse instrumentation and your singing really fit the song.

I loved this version.

I love it too, but I would be more interested in the original faster version of this song. The authors say that the original version was an uptempo song - and the Raab guys recorded it slow.
Maybe Lena will invite you to join stage with her - as Lady Gaga did with this girl: http://tinyurl.com/4k6tn9t
Good Luck to you!
