Spheriot
is a one-man project - all the music comes from my heart and head
and is produced in my livingroom and spare time!
There has never been any kind of concept in the music - or any aim
to sound like this or that. It just evolves from the songs I have
always been writing on my guitar - and my roots as a "producer" in
just playing around with my Mac a little. But somehow it developped
to a kind of pop-music that I never expected it to be like - even if
there is always one or another song, that doesn't really fit in the
picture.
But who cares.
I'm not trying to fulfill expectations. And most of the time it's
quite a long process of metamorphosis until I find a song to be
ready.
Anyway - this is my peaceful and harmonic counterweight to the
deconstruction of musical structures I do with my noise-project
Zloty Dawai that you might download on WM Recordings as well.
After playing in some bands when I was younger, I got frustrated by
the struggles you have in bands most of the time - the never-ending
dream of success, reducing the will to just make the music that
develops in the creative process - being lucky finding the right
musicians that fit together - and simply the ability to reduce your
own egocentric view of your perfect songs. First of all that carried
my free spirit to the means of Zloty Dawai - but on the other hand
my detail-loving Stubbornness to exactly stick to the songs the way
I wrote them on my gutiar, made me play them only for myself at home
for some years.
Then came the days of techno and affordable computers and I started
messing around a little with Cubase on my stone-age pc. In the
beginnig neither I had any production-know how, nor any equipment
allowing me do anything that you would have wanted to listen to. But
with faster and more affordable hardware coming up I finally ended
up deciding to just try and do one of my guitar-songs with the
machine as my band one day. And it worked quite well (at least from
my point of view ;). So my first real 100% selfmade song (Hide &
Seek) was born. I kept on going and besides producing my
guitar-songs still did some purely electronic tracks until I finally
finished my first and only album "Livingroom orbits" in 2003.
Then tried to release it on various independent, but still
commercial, labels and fell back into the real life of pop-music
today.
No chance.
Some of the labels told me frankly, they don't even listen to any
demos from artists that don't have media-credibility.
Nice.
Easy to achieve for someone who can't play live, without being a
playback-fake like all the "performers" showing off their asses on
MTV, prechecked by casting-shows making teenies believe they need to
love ‘em for the suffering and humiliation they have to stand to
prove their wealth to be stars. But I guess you know well enough
about all that.
So - fed up by business-rules and mind-control-conformity taking
over everything I stopped producing for a while. Then changing to a
new Mac - resulting in the typical technical terror pulled my brakes
even harder. But after nearly one and a half years I'M BACK. Right
now I'm working on some new material.
There are already some new songs that you can find on my
Myspace-site.
When I'm ready for a new release you'll be finding it on WM
recordings as well.
So now I'll be leaving it to YOU to decide if my music is worth
listening - and it would be my pleasure if you joined the people who
have been there throughout the years loving it.
