Rock, Blues, Boogie & Ballads
Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Status Quo, AC/DC, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Van Halen, REO Speedwagon, but also Roxy Music, Pink Floyd, Barclay James Harvest and of course Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton – these are some of my musical heroes who influenced my listening habits since the youth. And whose works I still enjoy today. From the German-speaking world, I particularly like Marius Müller-Westernhagen and the Puhdys. It's no wonder that my songs often follow these idols and occasionally pay homage to them.

German Lyrics
I write my lyrics in my native German. While this might reach fewer people than English-language songs, there's a compelling argument for German lyrics: wordplay, double entendres, subtle nuances of expression, slang, rhymes, and puns come a thousand times more easily to me in my mother tongue than in a foreign language. And as a DIY musician, I don't want English-language AI programs creating English lyrics for me. This attitude brings us to #1 of my DIY philosophy: it's meant to be fun above all else. Playing with words is just as much fun for me as playing my instruments and composing and mixing songs.
AI images for YouTube-Videos
At some point, I came up with the idea of using AI-generated images and videos to create my song videos for YouTube, instead of shooting real videos or paying for expensive real video shots. I explored several current image generators, tested the Prompt-to-Image Service from "nightcafé" and became a Pro-User there. (Nightcafé has the advantage that you can use your own images free of charge, even for commercial purposes. You "only" have to make sure that you don't infringe on any third-party image rights with the AI-generated image.) - In addition to nightcafé I actually use "Grok" for producing longer AI videos. With a simple trick, you can extend a six-second AI video several times.
Since then, I had been creating the most fitting visual narrative possible for each song. These narratives are aesthetically pleasing and often humorous. I finally edit the AI-generated images and videos into the videos that you can click on directly above.
