   About Neu Gestalt
When I'm not battling in my daily vendetta with a cruel and sadistic cosmos, I'm breathing music of one kind or another most of the time - my headphones may have to be surgically removed one day. .................................................................................................................................... Before NEU GESTALT I had already been making various kinds of hybrid electronica for very many years - mixing techno, blip-hop, drum and bass, IDM, and chill. I began making electronic music as part of a duo called SEPTEMBER'S ROOM - which started in the very distant past as a guitar driven band. ..................................................................................................................................... SEPTEMBER'S ROOM's page can be accessed from my top friends below. ..................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................... UPDATE .................................................................................................................................... The one-minute processed guitar track "Tantallon" on which I collaborated with EDIE 1964 and which features her voice and haiku will be included on the (Vox Novus) 60x60 2009 INTERNATIONAL MIX - I don't know for when the CD release is yet planned. This comprises 60 one minute pieces - and is more modern composition/new music territory. Tantallon will be one of the 60 pieces that will be played as part of the 60x60 (2009 / International Mix) Full Moon Concerts - Long Night's Moon, San Francisco, California on 3 December 2009.... and also as part of 60x60 DANCE (2009 / International Mix) comprising 60 one minute dances by different choreographers organized by JERAMY ZIMMERMAN/ CATSCRATCH THEATRE to be performed at the Electronic Music Midwest Festival, Kansas City, Kansas on 3 November 2009.... New Music Circle, St. Louis, Missouri on 8 November 2009... and in the World Financial Center Winter Garden Atrium, New York City on 13 November 2009. (Tantallon is something like Frippertronics meets Fennesz for lack of a better description - no-one is more surprised than me to find myself releasing something on guitar - I still pick it up and play every day but for years it has only been in my music as samples in ways people would mistake for a synth. ((^_>^) ..................................................................................................................................... I changed my working name from Gestalt to Neu Gestalt a couple of years ago to differentiate myself from a Japanese band (and a few others later) of the same name. (Dear German speakers - I apologise - know that it should be Neue but I like the shape better and it's less likely to be replicated again) ..................................................................................................................................... CLOUDBASE 301's page includes our collaboration track Toxicology. ..................................................................................................................................... NEU ZONDE, also linked from below, is for my louder material. ..................................................................................................................................... BATTINA PYRE kindly used my music as a soundtrack to her alien entity encounters video on her page. ..................................................................................................................................... KOSMOS KOLLECTIF's "Use Your Imagination" is on my remix page and I was really pleased to be able to work with Jude Fitzgerald's vocal talents . .................................................................................................................................... As of now (26 June 09) I'm working on a remix of an ASA (Asa Seljestad) track "Child of the Night" for Alex Tronic Records as well as a set of more organic sounding ambient tracks. ..................................................................................................................................... A remix of DROIDLOCKS' track Black Metal is on my remix page. I seriously enjoyed doing it. Alexandra has a great voice and Sam is a great songwriter IMVHO. .................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................... THE CD "ALTERED CARBON" IS ON ALEX TRONIC RECORDS - ATRCD105 - AND IS AVAILABLE THROUGH A WIDE NUMBER OF OUTLETS. .................................................................................................................................... ALL TRACKS CAN BE DOWNLOADED NOW FROM A NUMBER OF SITES INCLUDING iTUNES USING THE BUTTON HERE: Neu Gestalt .................................................................................................................................... I came to MySpace in early 2006 to take part in a NIN remix competition. My account was terminated later because someone didn't realise that it was an official competition and a copyright complaint made against me was upheld. Hard to bear after a lot of effort on the song and losing friends contacts. i don't hold a grudge though - it's understandable on a site of this size. .................................................................................................................................... I was regally dischuffed at the time though, but I took it pretty well - I only sulked for nine months - one for every nail. I'm back now though - and ready to make a hard go of it... .................................................................................................................................... Many special thanks to EDIE1964 for endless encouragement and inspiration. .................................................................................................................................... ...and I am forever touched by ANEMICINEMA'S beautiful track Les's Context which he dedicated to me. .................................................................................................................................... ...thank you too to POSITIVE TRANSIT who have added two of my other tracks into one of the players on their page. ....................................................................................................................................

Hi Les.
Nice to hear from you. Omg headphones. That is why I like the power adaptor for the Macbook Pro. The magnetic one that falls of if it is pulled. To bad your head doesn't fall of when walking away from laptop. Would be good system.

..
Head Falling Off - Japanesee Illusion Ever - More amazing video clips are a click away

All well here. A lot of traveling. Just came back from Indonesia again where I played at several festivals. I also managed to fall in love down there so my life is taking some radical but beautiful changes.

Hope all well with you and your work.

When the night comes,run away.


When the nightfall calls out your

name.


The lust you feel has caused me

pain.


Silent in the mourning light.


Come home to your betrayed.



Image and video hosting by TinyPic


I like the way the knife feels in my

back.


Recite this vow together.


Swear on our souls forever.


I was nothing, in on one.


Without mercy.


Without pity.


I am betrayed.

There's Little Autumn Angels
A-Blowing In The Wind
Dancing In Among The Falling Leaves
A Loving Note To Bring

A-Whirling And A-Twirling So..
Such A Tickle Of A Giggle

Wish We Could Have A Visit
Share Heavenly Love Today
But Seeing As You're Far Away
Autumn Angels Come To Say

Been Thinking Of You Lately
Always In My Heart
Want To Say I Miss You
So Sorry We're Apart

Little Autumn Angels
Blowing Kisses If You're Quick
One Will Land Smack In The Middle

What A Dazzling Way To End The Year As Winter Is Near
Love Those Golden Days. Dreamy With Autumn’s Colours
It Makes Me Smile Because Autumn Was My Favourite Season!

I Send Thee Greetings Of Love And Light To You My Beloved Friend!
