- Kick off, 9:15
My first one, that's why it's called kick off. A party track, fits from dusk till dawn.
- Geist und Materie, 8:28
A bit emotional but it's worth to listen twice.
- Soundpark, 7:44
This one exists in the moment. Lots of funny sounds. Listen Carefully.
- Classic Psychedelica, 8:24
A lot of music at the same time. You can swimm in it.
- TB-Song, 7:43
Almost an acid track. Don't try this at home with your plugins.
- The Strange One, 8:08
A strange one, cool beats.
- The Hug, 10:20
The finaly of this one is for me like a hug.
- All Together, 7:21
Funny snare rhythm. At the end all synths do the same melody together.
- Brummer, 8:20
A bit like number 6, dominated by some special sounds.

This was my first try, so all I wanted to do in the first place, was to finish a couple of songs which I began. While doing so I noticed, that my music was far from what was played at the parties. My music somehow sounded strange. This was partly due to the fact that my technical skills and means where rather limited, but also my style seemed to confuse people. Fortunately my music had quite an effect on some listeners and me all the same. My songs may have sounded strange and unprofessional, but they already told stories and had meaningfull arrangements, which I found the most important. All the rest is just surfacial for me.
So I decided, even though they weren't professional, to put all my songs on an album and simply call it "unprofassional" with an "a" instead of an "e" meaning that the album is weather professional nor faishonal.
Most of the people who got the album told me, that they needed to listen to it a couple of times till they got used to the strange style, but then most liked the music. Of course DJs found it too unprofessional (how comes?) to play it at parties. But since the crowd liked it, the album led to a lot of live bookings.
From a musical point of view there are a couple of very interesting songs on this album and the album already shows, that my strength is the composing, the creation of moods and atmospheres.
From a technical point of view the album was said to sound raw and direct. See technical infos, to learn why.
As I did on the second album gfuehlsweid, the album has been produced without the help of software sequencers. In this case I didn't even use any kind of personal computer for sample processing or mastering. An Akai MPC-2000 was playing loops of 16 bars and I faded the elements of the songs on the Yamaha 03D mixer in and out when ever I needed them in the song. FurthermoreI was tweaking an Access Virus A and a Roland TB-303. A Doeper modularsystem and a Korg prophecy were used rarely as well. Two Alesis Midiverb 4 were used for delay and reverb. Thats all. All songs have been recorded while doing sort of a "live performance" meaning arranging and tweaking the songs by changing loops and moving knobs and faders. Up to 30 tries for a song like "the hug" (where i find the filter-movements of the TB-303 in the end are some of the best I've ever done) where necessairy to get the perfect feel.
