Musician, composer, songwriter, producer from Southwest Germany.
I mainly do instrumental music, but I won't limit myself to one genre. The current musical thread in my tracks is electronic ambient folk. But if you listen to my whole body of work here, on soundcloud or on spotify, you will see that my taste and style are quite eclectic. So pick the tracks you like and enjoy them
3 weeks ago I embarked on a madman project of covering Mike Oldfield's "Taurus II" from "Five Miles out". As basis I used the midi file by Rene de Vreng on tubular.net (http://tubular.net/midi/TaurusII.mid). Though it is flawed in some respect, as some parts are missing and some a just not really right, it served me good up to the middle of the piece. Now I'm kind of stuck ... so why not ask for help. Any Oldfield fans here who want to go with me on the journey. It can be rewarding. I already did some remixes/covers of Mike's songs and learned a lot. (they're up on my soundcloud). I put my ableton project up here. At least the midi files and the vocals should work. But you might have to replace some Vsts :-)) If someone has an idea or can supply me with some sheet music or more precise midi I'd be happy. If someone can add a real instrument or real vocal (mine is vocaloid again) then do it. Or make your own cover. I'll be updating again ... so come back an give me your input - in words or music.

Cool Markus, I found them. That will keep me busy for a while!.... I heard a radio interview with Mike O. when Tubular Bells was first released and they were playing excerpts from it. I was immediately addicted! He was like 20 years old then and this was months before The Exorcist came out! You probably know all of that but did you know this?....Had William Friedkin heard them sooner The Exorcist soundtrack would have been done by Tangerine Dream!!! That would have been awesome!....

Man, That's a scary piece of music to torture your gear with! I think the only Collab that could work it would be Mike O. Himself!!! Maybe you should have attempted Tubular Bells first! Awesome!....

@ATomArt I'd rather have a great singer, but a vocaloid is the next best thing :-) Thanks for the likes, I'm kind of stuck with this one the second half is a tough one with no real sheet music to go with ... and the project got so big my PC can just handle it now, add a bit more and its constantly crashing live, so I have to freeze and unfreeze tracks while working ... but it is not forgotten and whoever wants to can COLLABORATE

Too Cool Markus! Tough project to conquer! Big fan of very early Mike Oldfield (first 3 or 4 albums). Man I'd love to have Vocaloid.... Awesome project!...WoW1....
