   About Rolander

I am a composer, producer and musician from Germany. Hope you enjoy my music.


About Angst - Daydreamer

This is about the double album I am currently producing. The album is nearly finished and will be released in November 2009.
CD 1 - About Angst is a concept album inspired by one of Grimm's fairy tales: “The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was”.
CD 2 - Daydreamer is a collection of individual songs and instrumental pieces.

Price: After the date of release, the price of this double-album will be 13,90 euros + shipping costs (depending on your country of origin). You may pre-order the CDs now and thus take advantage of the subscription price of 11,90 euros + shipping costs.

3 euros of every sold copy will be donated to the German section of Plan International. Plan is one of the largest child-centred community development organisations in the world, helping children and their families in 49 of the poorest countries to break the cycle of poverty.

Ordering: If you are German: please go to my German website. Otherwise: visit my English site.

Use the players beneath to listen to all the tracks of both CDs.


CD 1: About Angst




CD 2: Daydreamer


Credits:

  • Roland Enders - wrote the lyrics, composed, arranged, programmed and performed the music, produced and mixed the album, designed the booklet (except the cover artwork).
  • Thommy Frank - sings the part of Jake. He also works as an associate producer.
  • Claudia Salzig - sings the part of Sarah.
  • Stefan Dittmar - plays the drums.
  • Kai Heyrock - gave the impetus to create the album and composed the melody of a theme that grew to a main hookline. He also plays some guitar-lines.
  • Hanspeter Hess - plays additional keyboards.
  • Bettina Berchem - sings on "I wonder " (CD 2).
  • Patrick Boehner - has designed the cover art.
  • Elsbeth Enders - has shot the booklet photos.

THE BEARDED - HOPE | OMID

In 2007 I had the pleasure to take part in a great project: some German and US rock bands and artists (including the famous Spock's Beard and Neal Morse!) joined to produce this double CD crammed full of great rock music. With the sale proceeds we support the "German Aid for Afghan Children". To learn more about this project and to listen to the music, please click on the banner below.

The Bearded's Project

Pleasurize your music!

You may have heard of the loudness war, an erroneous trend in contemporary music that leads to a very loud and distorted sound without any dynamic and clarity.

DynamicRange

I don't like this disastrous tendency and therefore, I support the Pleasurize Music Foundation whose aim is to improve the sound quality of music by achieving the natural and dynamic sound, just like during the age of vinyl and the very beginning of the introduction of the CD. In the future, I will mix and master my tracks with a dynamic range of at least 10 to 12 dB (which is a good value for pop and rock music) and I will label them with the Dynamice Range (DR) Logo.
Please support the Pleasurize Music Foundation as a music consumer, musician or producer. Learn more about the foundation by clicking on the logo.

Hi!

Es lief etwas schleppend bei Invertigo, aber bald müssten wir auch mit unserer CD fertig sein. Unser Schlagzeuger ging leider nach Sachsen für einen neuen Job und da musste ein neuer eingearbeitet werden, was aber glücklicherweise ruckzuck ging.

Dir auch alles Gute mit deiner Musik. Hast dir ja richtig viel Arbeit mit dem ganzen orchestralen Arrangements gemacht, cool geworden! Erinnert mich beim reinhören etwas an Galleon.

Alles Gute,
Jacques
