A compilation with romantic piano music. iTunes Link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSs7TkG_dAw Piano music with the colors red, orange, yellow, green, lightblue, blue and violet. Good for relaxation, sleeping or meditation. I thought it might be time to put the entire work of my Farbmusik a bit together. This is a YouTube clip where you can experience 7 colors played on piano - pretty similar to a concert where I only play piano.

iTunes Link RED Los Lobos - This a genre which I truely love. Its the combination of electronic music with flamenco guitar played in a dramatic manner. Fire - A very dynamic song with some really strong flamenco elements and a powerful guitar. In the middle of the song a piano gets into a dialogue with the guitar. Lost in Madrid - This is again an electronic & industrial song with some dramatic soundscapes and flamenco guitar. Freedom - This is a composition which makes me very proud.

HPCRAZY.COM and live activities It really has been a long time since my last blog entry. Wow the last one was at the beginning of July 12. There was the summer break and I have a lot of personal things to work out how I will continue my entire system. I had a terrible cold for more then 3 months. 2 months I was more or less home and too weak to do more then the minimum of my duties in my schedules. Illness is always a sign that something is wrong in the entire system so I took this time to think about many things and I have found my answers in personal and professional life now. So I will share some of my findings and my activities during this time here in my blog. …

Creativity First Wow it really has been a long time since my last blog entry. It has been an intense time - sometimes not so easy since I started my first steps into a new life without extended online teaching and extended internet projects. It is now 3 months ago since I made this step and I personally think it was the best desicion of the past years. Some really new aspects have come into my life and in fact it is a total different life with its difficulties but it feels great. So what happened since then ? Actually I have started to focus totally on creativity as a liveperformer and as a composer. These 2 aspects never really had a bigger space in my work sinc…

New System - 21.4.12 It has been 4 weeks ago since it became a fact that I will be leaving guitartricks.com. Since this was a major inpact in my whole working system I really needed to think what will be in the future. I did not meet anybody for longer time to be alone to really think all this over and now here are my findings which I do believe will be my path for the coming years. 1. Online Teaching It makes sense to keep my own online guitarschool ( http://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/guitarschool/ )running together with my activities on my YouTube channel ( http://www.youtube.com/user/hpcrazycom ) and my activites on my german guitarsite ( http://www.gitarrenfo…

After being an instructor for 6 years at guitartricks.com I am now unfortunately forced to quit. Somehow I am happy about this since the workload on the technical side ( video shoots, editing, cutting, track production ) has really become quite big in the past 2 years. I still was able to do it since I felt responsible for all students which gave me feedbacks, asked for specific new tutorials but on the other hand more and more I was not able to be creative anymore which made me very unhappy in the past 12 months. I tried to find a solution in the past that at least I could hire somebody who would help me with the videoshoots and video editing but since the Swiss Franc ha…

Here now some news from the past weeks. 1. I had some great concerts in the past weeks. I want to online 2 of them. The one was with the Band Hazzada Jazz where we performed some Jazz from the great american songbook. I dont play Jazz very often and so I needed to pratice pretty much to get my Jazz - skills back to professional level. But it was worth. I really enjoyed it and the band and the people who listened liked my playing very much - I would love to play more Jazz and so we will broadcast a concert in the next weeks from the studio in Egg. As soon as the technique is ready we can proceed. The 2nd performance to outline was in Pfedelbach in Germany. It was n…

Starting 2012 Since my last blog entry so much has happened - the really intensive phase began now in Jan 2012. Last year I have decided to put more energy into liveplaying and I have started to change my practice routines in order to get on my vision of my playing level and it is working pretty well. Now when I get up I start to practice instead of making any kind of office work. This is a big changment and it works. Now here the results 1. Livestreaming events : We are starting to make livestreaming events from the studio Egg where anybody can watch and listen our activities which will take place there. These will be jamsession with opening acts …
