Years ago, when I had just started writing songs, I read a novel by Terry Pratchett (Equal Rites) that inspired me to write a song which I imagined as a soundtrack for a scene from the book where Grandma Weatherwax was riding on a broom stick to search the landscape for her lost grandchild…read more

Years ago, in Winter, a friend of mine sent me pictures from Moscow, where she lives. And that inspired me to write this “soundtrack”.

The vocal theme is “sung” by Vocaloid, a software singer. Unfortunately I don’t have a singer of that calibre in my pocket … but I hope that one day I’ll…read more

Guitars: Alina Yudaeva
Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann

This never turned out like I wanted it to be because I could not find a real drummer and bassist for it. But at least Alina was kind enough to play the lead guitar part. :)

All other parts were done with my synthesizer.

=================================================

Floppy old mix. Another candidate for remixing or (at least) re-mastering. I’ll probably do the latter soon.

This is a synthesizer instrumental that never seemed to get many friends where I posted…read more

I had this tune in my head for years before I finally sat down and recorded a quick draft of it. I would like to record this with real instruments (acoustic guitar + electric lead guitar).

Anybody interested in helping me?

This one is a bit different. It is a synthesizer instrumental, and the title is no coincidence. The experiment was to write a complete song based on just one single chord. :)

This is part I. There is a part II which uses the same theme but a couple more chords. I’ll probably post that one too…read more

Just a little piano ballad - another old composition. The strings have not been mixed/edited too well, sorry for that. I’ll fix it some day.

It was bedtime and I suddenly felt like playing something on my keyboard. That’s how this song came to be.

“Wenn die Nacht” means “When the night…read more

This was one of my first compositions ever (I started writing songs in 2004/2005). I don’t have the original audio seps any more, just this MP3 file, so I cannot do a decent remix. And I’m too lazy to re-do it all from scratch. :)

I must admit that I like this litte piano tune a lot - I only wish I was a better player.

When I composed this little instrumental song I did not use very good sounds for it, and I did not yet know (or bother) how to edit the midi sounds to make them sound better.

This is just a quick remix using the same old sounds. I don’t think the song is really worth re-recording, so that…read more

Hoorrrrray! My wish came true, we did a version of this instrumental with real instruments!

And the band was:

Guitars: Frank Zax
Drums: Mark Cole
Bass: Andy Gupta
Music & Production: Steffen Offermann

Enjoy!
