Here a flameco suite played with my GODIN MULTIAC GRAND CONCERT DUET AMBIANCE. Of course this is the color " red ".

Here's a wonderful recording in the color " orange " played with the bottleneck and a drop D tuned guitar. It's held in the tradition of Ry Cooders style in the movie " Paris - Texas ". I love this kind of athmospheric mystic guitar Sound.

Here's a green country blues played on the acoustic guitar.

A improvisation related to the color green on the acoustic nylon guitar. The picture has been taken in the wild forest of Klöntal in Switzerland.

Here's a cool 80s instrumental rock tune. I call it " The Battle " because I had kind of one the day I recorded the video.

Here's a track which can go pretty well as film music.

Here I made a great combination of deep house ambient sounds with acoustic percussion and an oud. I love this combination - it give a very special and mystic sound. The name of this song is " Sahara ".

Here's a pretty high energy rock guitar song played on my black Godin guitar. It's kind of a Joe Satriani style.

A romantic Improvisation.

Here the live performance held on 1.1.16 in Seegräben Switzerland. Guitar in the style of Stanley Jordan and piano in the style of Keith Jarett.

I have released a CD with the best outtakes from the HPCrazy YouTube channel. These are all recordings which were created during the HPCrazy video shoots. That means that each track is recorded first take without any additional editing. Exeptions are " Orange County " and " Hey Motherfucker " - these were inofficial tracks where I performed some vocals. I felt now is the time to release those 2 tracks. https://itunes.apple.com/album/best-youtube-outtakes-15/id1065234449

Here's a blues rock original about saying goodbye to somebody and to go back on the road of life again. Kind of a steppenwolf vibe in it. This original was recorded " first take " during a studio session and in a phase of my life where I needed to let somebody go.

Since I wanted to go more into filmmusic now I have recorded a wonderful piano tune with some orchestral background. It is called " On my way home "

We have released a new artist : DJ2058 Swiss futuristic DJ working with hypnotic psycho acoustic elements and synesthetic color approach. Hypnotic Urban Industrial Ambient Dub and Techno Dub Music The Website with all links can be found here : http://www.dj2058.com

Here's a CD which I created during 2015. My goal was to create some really new and exiticing electronic music which has a whole bundle of emotional impact, instrumental skills and to take the sound to a place which has not been discovered before. Even I am stick a little bit to the genres industrial, dupstep and trance I tried not to go for the typical genres and just to let all creative juices flow. So here my thoughts behind every track which I created : Mystic Dubstep - This falls into the genre ambient dub and combines very cool rock guitar, bottle neck guitar with a sitar lead sound and some crazy dupstep elements. For me this is the signiture track of this CD. Night Rider - Here I wanted to have an dark ambient industrial sound which describes a mood travelling through empty urban landscapes late a night. Lost - This was the very first track of the CD and was created during the solar eclipse in March 2015. A dark and hypnotic melody which repeats it'self continued. Taj Mahal - An industrial hip hop style beat with some great rock guitars and a sitar taking the lead. Hypno Love - Some elements from trance and some really wide and orchestral guitar sounds which create a fantastic wall of sound during the main melody. Crazy Love - An other techno - trance style track with some great rock guitars and a bottle neck distored guitar taking the lead. In a Dream - A heavy industrial beat and 5 lead guitars playing at the same time to create this choir effect. Haunt My Dreams - A driving and hypnotic beat with a string orchestra taking the lead and again some great rock guitars giving the foundation for this wide sound. Kiss My - A moment of anger which was transformed into music I lost my - A bitchy and edgy sound Flight to Eternity - A house type beat with some guitars creating a wide wide sound Bloodmoon - This ambient dup track was created on the day of the bloodmoon on Sept. 28 15 with a wonderful piano part.

Here's a wonderful version of a solo guitar blues in a mississippi bad blues style - it might also remind of the song " Feeling Bad Blues " as played by Ry Cooder in the movie " Crossroads "

Here's a pretty red and intense original of mine where I improvise to only bass and drums. The mood was meant to be very red and kind of Quentin Tarantino's " From Dusk till Dawn " but more intense - thats why the biker became a ghost rider.

Here's a mysterious track when I combine different genres into one song. I always love when it gets cinematic and mysterious - this time I have created a kind of a dubstep track and brought all this into one track which I really love. It's of course the color red. The guitar is a 7 string nylon acoustic caster from Godin.

This is a reflective played solo guitar song. It's the color green and light blue. A mixture between those two colors and played in the key of G which is traditional the color light blue.

Now after again a year 2015 with some hard work again I noticed that I need to reduce my work load back on a normal level and start to develop more sophisticated systems and strategies in order to get all my work on the next level and also to reduce my workload because I now feel after building all up since the beginning of 2013 I am reaching my personal limit and it's time to step back on a normal working load level. Musicians The main thing which has now changed in September 2015 is that I have indeed started to work with other musicians. It's more fun and relaxing for me but of course it is more challenging. I have started with a jazz quartett with Wilbert Gill Junior ( Steelpan ), Timon Roth ( Bass ) and Markus Bisegger ( Drums ). Our first gig was held in AVO Maria Lounge in Sept and was indeed great fun but also created a jazz sound which you don't hear very often. On the Farbmusik Konzert on Sept 13th I also invited musicians which leaded to a most complete experience for everybody. These were Wilbert Gill Junior ( Steelpan ), Eric Lee ( Piano ), Nicole Zumstein ( Classical Voice ) and Juliet Balaz ( Modern Voice ) Here a video clip which was taken on this concert Networking Since I became a regular member of the successful #swisstubers I have been invited 3 times by YouTube Switzerland for education in professional YouTube broadcasting but also to connect with other creative and multimedia workers. First talks have taken place in order to combine our talents and forces to support us among eachother. These are people from all kinds of buisnesses and the channels they are hosting are in parts much different then my work but it makes sense to work with eachother to gain popularity of all our work. Hype of Summer 15 My participation on all those YouTube events and the gaining success of my HPCrazy YouTube channel lead to a kind of Hype started in June 15 and it is still going. I am awaiting that is stops every day but it is not happening till now. I got so many offers from all kinds of people seeking colaboration with me or to get me into concepts of there's. The most astonishing offers for 2 tours playing in really big venues of 20000 up till 100000 spectators. Now even one playing at Streetparade 2016 with approx. 1 Mio spectators. Sounds total crazy and it is - till now nothing real happened and I am still grounded and will only take it for serious once this really is going to happen. But it was a great feeling I must say - was kind of fun to feel a little bit like a star for a few weeks But actually I dont like to use the expression " star " myself but the chief of public affairs of YouTube himself said that I am a YouTube star, so I can accept this expression and have to fun with it. For sure I will only count those things which came into real life : What came into real life is the endorsment by moon-music.ch providing my any guitar model which I need to keep my HPCrazy YouTube channel on a interesting level for the gaining number of spectators. Music A personal note - I have devided my musical abbilities in different concepts in the past. I now am putting all abilities in my concepts and try to get them back into one only concept if possible. This means that you will hear parts of colourmusic in all other parts of my work. In special on my successful HPCrazy YouTube channel - here's a most recent work. Here I have put parts of colourmusic, film composing, jazz and rock into one song

Here's a wonderful improvised rock balade in the style of one of my big idol's Gary Moore who has passed away too early. I really admired his great feeling he had in is balades he played.

A yellow original improvisation played on the 7 string guitar. This is part of my colourmusic performance where I play in colours. Try to get into the colour yellow by listening to this track.

Here's a version of Miles Davis tune " So what " played on guitar. Here I really enjoyed the smoothness of the entire playing.

Here's a great new song coming along with a video - it's called " Tunnel Vision " and the guitar was played life during a video shooting for my HPCrazy channel. I came out so great that I decided to make a great music video to this track. The video was recorded in Zürich's subway by night. I always planned to make kind of urban industrial music with videos showing an urban surrounding by night - and so here's my first try. I really love. The subway in Zürich is only a short passage between Uni Irchel and Schwammendigen. Many people don't even know that there is a subway but it's great and gives a very special lighning and mood - fits perfect to the mood I wanted to create.

In the past 2 1/2 years I have been working very hard to make a transition in my working system. Long time I was not sure if it will work out but now in the recent weeks things really are starting to come together. I am somehow a bit overwhelmed what all is going on in these days. And as a astrologer I know that things will even get better when Jupiter will come into my sign in August. This happens every 12 years and I can remember the last time - its was incredible there. My main goals when I started 2013 to renew my system to get my creative abiltities and life performance much more in the center and to use YouTube as my main channel for all my activites and even possible get a YouTube partner one day. YouTube For all my different activities I have created a YouTube channel. My most succesful channel turned out to be HPCrazy : https://www.youtube.com/user/hpcrazycom- I passed 1 Mio clicks a few weeks ago and even got a YouTube partner in Switzerland. Here's a video from the 10th anniversary celebrations @YouTube / Google Zürich https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzcaqVDAP7c - The channel at the moment is a education channel in big parts but I will change this now to make a more intense branding of the name HPCrazy by making more performance video's. Here is a recent one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGCg27p63GE Live performance & Endorsment The succes of my HPCrazy YouTube channel did not stay a secret and since I started to make a " Meet & Greet " once a month in the AVO Maria Lounge in Dietikon first real people heard my live performance abilities on guitar which I must admit I never showed before in public in it's full possibilities. And wow people really love it and started to spread the word. In only 2 months I already got an endorser ( Moon-Music Switzerland ) who loves my work and will support me in any matter which is needed to get my guitar work out into the world. Composer Composing is my other true passion. I am composer for Swiss TV and have a few tracks under contract at a renowned Hollywood Agency ( crucial music.com ). At Swiss TV I got over 100 placements of my music in the last 6 months and that Hollywood agency changed there system now and made it possible to make costum composing possible. Selected composered got an offer to sign that contract and now when a music supervisior is looking for music for a new movie or serial those selected composers get the information what is needed and have to possibility to make an entry. If a track makes it to the top 5 you get in direct touch with the music supervisior. I have been selected for Flamenco Guitar, Solo Piano and electronic Mood Music. Thats fits pretty well to my updated composer website http://www.music-pictures.com Overall activities Since a few weeks I noticed a major shift how people come up to me. I got so many opportunities offered - some of them sound great, but it's too early to talk about this here. But as the title is saying I feel Jupiter Rising in my Sign and it will stay for one year there and I can bet that many opportunities will come up and will happen. I am already thankful for what happened till now because now I know my new system which I created with very very hard work starts to get into a flow - and there I am very thankful for that.

TV & Movie Composer Website renewed Finally I have renewed my composer website http://www.music-pictures.comand changed the entire system to the latest developments. The most interesting features might be the free licenses for Low Budget, Education Projects and for YouTube Creators. Here the exact text about it : I have devided the music which is available into Mood, Piano and Gutiar music. All music there is a selection of my entire work as a composer and from my experience that music works well for TV and movies. Some of the tracks are already signed at Hollywood agencies or have been used several times in all kind of projects, cooperate clips or broadcasted films at Swiss TV.

Websites renewed Since Google has announced on april 1th 2015 that HTML5 websites will get prefered in search results from that date on I could not longer wait to upgrade my entire websites. I first need to learn the new standard and needed to get into routine. Then I started the work - and it was incredibile much work. I did not know that over all those years I had gathered so many websites and concepts. So I felt it was not time to bring order in the choas and to create a new system which fits the latest developments. And so this is how it came out : New System My mainpage is http://www.hanspeterkruesi.com there you will notice 3 sectors : HPCrazy - Guitar Pianist.ch - Piano DJ 2058 - Electronic Music This is my personal path for the future and it is still a whole load of work but this is what I think I can manage in the future as a one man company. All efforts to build a professional team to let things grow did not work the way I visionized and I am convinced is needed to succeed so I needed to let this go and concentrate on my one man company. 1. My priority will be on HPCrazy since I am closing to 1 mio clicks on YouTube this is far the most successful part of my work and I must say I am totally into guitarplaying and I love it. There I will continue with the HPCrazy Academy which is ongoing with my daily work with my numberous students and my fans on YouTube. This is no additional workload for me since this is the bigger part of my daily buisness. 2. pianist.ch - my piano playing abilties on concerts are now on a level where I can manage to play a big stages. It was a long path as well and I needed to practice on many events and concerts but now is the time that I am ready. But my special task in piano playing is my colourmusic ( Farbmusik ) I became a true expert in colourmusic improvisations as you can see on this video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpuUqEmcIuQ. Beside this I am planing to run my pianist agency which worked pretty well in the past. Maybe somebody can manage the administration of the agency one day. 3. DJ 2058 - This is a totally new project and I was meant to be my fun and relaxing project. I founded it on the day of the solar eclipse in April and since then I noticed that pretty much people really are very very curious what will come and I get support from others. So I guess it was a good desicion - but I will not put myself too much on stress with this project. It is meant to be fun and I will bring my guitar and probably piano playing as well and I will bring parts of my colourmusic into it. The other concepts I had will now remain the way they were or be a subgroup in the new priority settings. The main shift is that I needed to let colourmusic ( Farbmusik ) go. Concerts did not develop the way I wanted and somehow with the concept of playing both guitar and piano on one concert was just too much stress. I needed to practice 8 hours daily before a concert and I can not afford this anymore and I also don't want to work non - stop all the time. Colourmusic will now be embedded into the 3 main parts described above. Thats not much of a transition - I have been playing colours all my life. I will continue to play colourmusic concerts but under the label " pianist.ch " because that makes sense to the concept of getting into the flow and letting higher forces guide you during playing. I already experienced this when I just started to be a pro pianist at the age of 20 - my piano playing always has meant to be like this and from the buisness side it is easier to sell colourmusic under the label " pianist.ch ". But still I have updated the website http://www.colourmusic.org - because I want to preserve this masterpiece for the future and I will continue to spread the word but I will now keep it the way it was. You will also see those 3 parts there - from the musical side nothing has changed only the perspective and this will help to reach more people then before. All other services I had will not be developed or updated in the future - now is time to start to enjoy life.

After a longer time ( 2008 - 2015 ) of changments and transistions in my work and personal life I think I can now make a review and an outlook and I want to say a few last words about the tax issue which really took my full energy for the last 2 months. This incident was the last big blast of slight changments during and finally brought me to the findings which more or less will define the next years. There are 2 points on the tax issue which are worth to name here. To once again repeat the main issue. Because a software issue my numbers were counted wrong over 10 years and nobody ever noticed this. 1. This was for me the very first time I ever lost a battle. It was very frustrating for me because I know that I was right and from the behaviour from the tax agency there is only one possiblity. They also knew that I was right but they but the guilt on me to avoid admitting there own guilt. This was very hard to accept because I always thought the truth will always win and I was always a person who was standing for truth and honesty. Now how to deal with this ? It is pretty easy - I think there there is a lot of injustice in the world and sometimes such people win. The point is not giving up and staying on the line and to continue. I have my motto ( see below ) and this was now a test for me. Its easy to say that if you never past a test. And you can believe me this was a pretty serious one for me. It was never about money. It was about justice and about how to deal with people if you get faced with injustice. In earlier days I would have taken a lawyer and gone to court but I came to the finding that I can serve my purpose better by concentrating to " put on a light " " We can not fight against the darkness, but we can put on a light. " Franz von Assisi 2. The 2nd thing which was pretty shocking that over all those years my numbers in my book keeping were wrong and I was building my buisness life on wrong numbers. And over all those years I was following a strategy just to keep a wrong strategy going. That's ok but I must say that I neglected some important parts in my music and my life just to hold on my strategy. And that always caused some unhappiness and I sacrificed too much for this strategy. For sure I can never allow these kind of sacrifices anymore. I will change my perspective to life itsself. So strategies anymore - I will let life flowing the way it comes and the same will be with music. I did so many strategies in my musical life - they leaded to a certain success over all those years. I even got on the very top of online education in these years. I think the highlight was around 2007 - 2009. A lot of crazy things happened in these years - nobody will believe me this, but I can tell you that deep in my heart I was not fullfilled because my creative part was suffering. Maybe I could have reached much more people then these millions at that time if I just had allowed my creativity to flow without any strategy. I had my Hollywood placements of my music there but maybe I missed my chance to take it to the next level because I could not react more. So these were some pretty hard words about myself - such incidents are good to open up your mind and your eyes. I think I will now fokus on life and let it flow and since life and music are connected this goes hand in hand. Stay in the very present moment and enjoy what comes and don't make any thought about it - just let it happen. Sounds pretty idealistic - somehow it is but I like it and will try to keep it that way in the future. Still I was always like that but because I thought I need to run a strategy to make my living I was not consequent and made too much sacrifices which I regret looking back. And the tax issue showed me that it did not even work the way I thought. Thats why this topic had such a tremendous impact on me. But good I learned the lesson and once more I got reminded that the very moment in life is the only thing which counts.

I have started a new identity as DJ2058 - there I will feature mainly my work in the electronic music genre. Currently it is in the subgenres Industrial, Dup Step, House and Trance. I am not trying to follow certain genres. I just want to make it easier for fans of electronic music to find my music. I have started this project on the day of the solar eclipse here in Switzerland 20th march 2015 - thats why the avatar of DJ2058 will be a solar eclipse. The journey has now started and I have no idea where it will end till now. http://www.dj2058.com

My YouTube channel hpcrazycom got invited by YouTube to the Swiss YouTube creators day. That was pretty much an honor and showed that I am on a good way with my education channel hpcrazycom. It was in fact a goal to one day get this invitation but I thought it would come later - like earliest with over 10000 subscribers. Currently I am moving award 5000. To my supprise there where not so much Swiss creators there but it was very interesting exchanging experience with others and following the YouTube creators workshops YouTube offered. Special I noticed that my skills in professional video shooting can be improved. Most I enjoyed the office tour where YouTube showed us where the big magic happens. It looks like that we creators will get more support in the future and so I am looking forward to this. The internal hashtag we defined is #swisstubers

Hi everybody, I was watching this cloud live today was a most exiting experience which I want to share with you. The song is one of mine from the colourmusic series with some wonderful guitars. I hope you like to watch this wonderful natural phänoemen. It's was gorgous The really cool thing is that just hours ago a made a desicion in a difficult situation and then I was very lucky to experience such a moment - and it has a connection to my colourmusic. Kind of a small sign that my desicion was right to focus again on it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKIFR8meEzA By the end of 2014 during my annual book keeping I discovered a tremdous mistake. For details watch the video added here. This in fact has a major impact on my work because over these years I thought my financial system works somehow even I always had an OK income for a freelancing artist but for Switzerland a low income. This is difficult from 2 sides. First of course I need to pay a lot now for this mistake. I will overcome this after some time but the 2nd issue concerns me more : The past 2 years have been very difficult for me. My normal buisness started to go down because my motivation to work that way I have been working all those years droped below 0 - of course when the motivation is gone you can not be successful. So I started to seek for new possibilities where I really enjoy my work and it somehow has a real perspective for the future. I found that following the latest trends in internet marketing would be a great benefit to spread my work to a much bigger audience then only keeping it around Zürich. It was a lot of work and I am so glad my familly supported me otherwise I would not have made it through these 2 years. I had pretty much pressure to keep my things going and to learn and build these new technologies which fit to todays needs in internet marketing. Also from my personal side it was a difficult time to go through all this with no support from others outside and a dramatic fading motivation for my normal activities but I keept it going because I always mastered difficult situations with hard work and discipline. But I must admit - this time was the hardest ever I think since I was a teenager. Special 2013 I was nearly not able to work any more for several months. But there was only one way to go - so I pulled myself out from this personal crisis but still running a double strategy keeping old things up and working hard for the new. It was possible by working 7 days a week and having no free time for personal life. Around X-Mas 2014 I stated tremendous boosts in my internet stats over the year and a stabelized local buisness situation but I felt that I got exhausted over these 2 hard years but I feel very happy that I managed all difficulties and stabalized all parts. Now I have this taxing problem. For me it's just a knife in the back and also shows that my old financial system which I always thought it would work is wrong. It can work but a larger part of my income activities are things which I want to let go and since I am really so tired now I can not go an other round with fixing my finanicial system with old activities. So I made the desicion now that I will pay this big amount which is coming from my savings which were meant to be my security for many years and go the new path with more determination ever. So why not starting to organize my life and work in a way that I can enjoy it ? Life always supports whatever you do it is just a matter of trust and determination. I never wanted this prior life I created but I thought it is needed that you function in the community and you can pay your bills. But still somehow I enjoyed it for many years but the past 5 years were mostly no fun for me anymore. I really tried my best and now I came to my limit. I am tired and I suffered from many health problems the past months. It does not make sense to continue the way I normally solved such situations. So my yearly horoscop which was alwasy right predited a year of fundamental changes - now I got the point. Stop trying to be something you think you need to be - just be who you are and have trust in life. What does this exacly mean ? I can not tell by now - what I can say that even in these hard 5 years I always enjoy playing concerts - I felt that this is my calling and destination. And I enjoyed my internet activities very much - the HPCrazy Channel and the Colour Music Channel. Being creative gives me a feeling of fullfillingness. You can only be successful when you really mean it and enjoy what you are doing - then Universe supports you and feeds you in other cases you get hard lessons which show you your limits, which are meant to wake you up. So here I am now ready to go - and it really makes no sense at all to keep that old life up. Money and support will come if the determination is right and are willing to give people something. I think this tax issue now happened to show me that it is really time to step into the new. The lesson is very hard, but I am a stuborn person I need hard lessons that I start to make a move. I got it now HP

Review 2014 The year 2014 has been pretty intense since I went into the consolidation phase of what I have begun in 2013. This was mainly building up an extend online presence which to suffice today’s needs in social media networking and monetized streaming content. Since I have divided my work into 3 parts this was quite a challenge which left nearly no free minute during the entire year. I must say I probable would now do such a big project this way again but I am happy with the results and it was worth but I must say my private life suffered pretty much under this pressure but somehow I got through this year. Since the main work is now done I am sure that 2015 will be much more relaxed and I will focus more on personal relations in private life. But now lets check what happened in 2014. HPCrazy.com The most successful product is HPCrazy.com with a growing number of subscribers on the YouTube channel ( relaunched 2013 ) with currently around 3900 subscribers and over 40000 views per month and 756000 overall views. My presence as a guitar player with online eduction and guitar music turned out to work best which is not because of good luck. My past presence as highly featured guitar player on worldwide leading websites from 2006 - 2012 ( guitartricks.com and gibson.com ) helped pretty much to overcome the starters gap where you need to struggle for every view and new subscriber. When I relaunched the entire HPCrazy system I was not sure if it will work out without those prior big networks but it did and I am personally very happy about this because guitar playing always was my main passion. In Nov. I started with my HPCrazy Academy ( http://www.hpcrazy.com/academy.htm ) which is a entire concept of learing guitar from my YouTube channel, private online lessons, private lessons in Switzerland and till the possibility to make an high profile education with the possibility to finish with the HPCrazy diploma. That was always an idea which I had when I started teaching in 1998 but now my students which I have really are going for it and to name one in special who really took a first intense year to open up to a deeper understanding of the guitar. The main focus of my HPCrazy education is to reach a deep connection with music and the individual guitar playing. Therefore I developed several different methods and concepts in order to make this connection as easy as possible. There is a lot of psychology behind it and feedback’s from all over the world have showed that it really works on any playing level. And last but not least my song “ Drunken Snake in the Dessert “ https://itunes.apple.com/album/blues-city-feat.-hanspeter/id631817871 has been used in a Hollywood production ( Mind Games ) and was broadcasted in many countries worldwide. What was very difficult for me that I suffered from a nailbed infection which pulled me out of playing for months and I am still in the recover phase. I can play again now but I still have to watch that I don't push it too hard. The amazing thing is that I feel that now I finally reached the point of my guitar playing where I am able to play anything I like and express myself the way I want. This is great since I have been working all these years to get this feeling that I master the guitar and I control my guitar and not that the guitar controls me. Colour Music – Farbmusik In 2014 I kept on doint live performances in Switzerland at small and hand choosen places. The majority of my spectators report that my music really touches them deeply and most of them come back at later concerts. Unfortunately I am not really good in organization and till now I still could not find a real solid solution which would help to make the organization of concerts easier. So it is building up slowly – not as fast as I would like but I see progress going on. In spring I started to build up the YouTube channel with a lot of wonderful video's. http://www.youtube.com/user/musicpictures – all those video's where shot with my Samsung mobile phone at very special places around Switzerland and at special times or occasions. I have been travelling a lot to shot all that footage and I needed to learn a little bit of video editing to make the video's the way I always wanted. The YouTube channel is partnered with TheOrchard which distributes the video's also to other networks and currently gets around 5000 views per month The online presence of colour music is building up – the twitter account gets pretty much recognition with approx. 600 followers after one year. The release “ Medition Piano 432Hz “ is my overall most successful CD release with over 25000 streams on spotify since it came out. The song yellow got over 1500000 streams in a 3rd party video on YouTube. Pianist.ch This part of my artistic expression got a bit negated this year. I was able to build and polish the piano agency, played quite a number of shows and I completed the online presence with the new YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/pianoagency – the piano agency gets good feedback's and I noticed that since there is an english translation of it available that I started to get international request for playing bigger shows. So it really starts to make sense to play a bit more piano and make a cross promotion between colour music and pianist.ch 2015 Now what is to come ? I feel that I did a lot of work from 2013 – 2014 to make all necessary changements and leaded them to success but personally I got tired of working so much and specially in parts which are not my core business. Now since the system is set I feel that now I can add my creative work as on-going releases to my different distribution systems and so through my work I layed a tool for my work which now can develeop and grow and now I can really concentrate on the creative parts of my work. I feel that I now want to take my live playing abbilites to a constant high level and go out playing. This also means playing with others or contribute my playing and creativ abilities to interesting projects.

A new backing track CD now available on iTunes : https://itunes.apple.com/album/rock-backing-tracks-vol.-2/id938138630

While creating a new rock backing track CD I recorded myself giving a first shot on this great new track in 12/8 - I was always very interested in Steve Vai's shred style and I have a feeling that somehow I am pretty much in this direction even I am playing without any whammy bar.

This is a song from my inofficial catalog. It is called " In a dream " and combines an industrial beat, with parts of colourmusic in a dramatic way. I really payed attention to the development of the guitars. First is on guitar, then two and finally a third guitar creating this great choir of guitars. I got this idea from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart creating the choir of " Figaro " For me this kind of dramatic music really is a main expression and a lot of songs which I start somehow go in this direction even I can not really use them in my official catalog of music. But to tell the truth this is one of my most honest inner voices when it comes to pure dramatic expression.

I have opened up my personal YouTube Channel where you can get a lot of personal insight into my work. This might be some background information, some unreleased music or recordings which are rarly heared and of course some philosophy behind the songs and compostions. Here's the channel - if you are curious please subscribe. https://www.youtube.com/user/hanspeterkruesi

Here's an idea which I had a long time ago - playing my special guitar technique with modern beats.

Finally I have released a Live CD with a lot of Touch Technique and my way of playing solo guitar. I have choosen a live CD because of the energy of the playing. Even that everything is not perfect - the mood and the musical flow is for me perfect because each moment in music is pure perfection. https://itunes.apple.com/album/live-pure-feat.-hanspeter/id907878622

A new CD with wonderful Late Night Cocktali tunes in the style of Dave Grusin.

Completing my work The journey started on Jan 13 where I decided to setup a complete new system in the internet to present the whole variarity of my creative work. For me everything is actually the same - I try to bring the magic of music down and share it to people. This can be either with playing guitar, piano, composing or teaching people how to develope there own creativity. So I decided to setup 3 different parts and develope an entire new system related to todays needs with social media and automatic sharing and audiovisual content. These are HPCrazy ( Guitar ) My work as a guitarist is the most succesful online with the HPCrazy YouTube channel which I reactivated in Jan13 https://www.youtube.com/user/hpcrazycom - I am closing up to 600000 views on my channel and a accelerating number of subscribers. In combination I released many CD's as HPCrazy and many backing tracks CD's which are having a growing number of downloads and audiostreams. Beside the online education system I have opened up the HPCrazy academy where you can make a professionel education to become a pro guitarplayer. This is taking place in Egg ( Switzerland ) http://gitarrist.ch/studium.htm Weblinks : http://www.gitarrist.ch // http://www.hpcrazy.com Pianist.ch ( Piano ) I have modified my website http://www.pianist.ch and changed it into a piano agency, added a YouTube channel with piano music and opened up a facebook application. I released 3 CD's since Jan13 http://www.pianist.ch/eng/cds.htm - 2 of them will come out in the next few days. pianist.ch is seen as a professional agency and I also connect customers with other pianist - mainly to Tatjana Nikic ( acclaimed concert pianist ) who is taking part of the classical genre. Weblinks : http://www.pianist.ch Composer & Colourmusic Composing and composing music to colours is my main passion. I have worked a lot to realize the english version of my " Farbmusik " and to create http://www.colourmusic.org . This looks the same as the german version but it is not. The 7 CD's presented on that website is an updated version of the old Farbmusik version. All piano solo tracks have been replaced by newer and more sophisticated versions. The same on many other songs. The CD's have been released at the end of 2013. An additonal CD " Piano Meditation 432Hz " has been released in spring 2014. This CD is far the most succesful in all download and streaming services. Currently about 1000 thethered downloads, 3000 streams and 100 CD downloads. But the highlight is the song Yellow which has had over 1500000 audiostreams on YouTube by an other videocreator which has used this song for a video. I am very proud of the new YouTube channel of colourmusic.org - there always were some video's there but I always had a visions which none of the videoproducers I was working with was able to fullfill on a lowbudget level. So I decided to do it myself. I spent 6 months or research, learning and shooting footage to complete the colourmusic videos the way I always wanted. Of course I am not a pro - videoproducer but I am very happy with the results since the audio - visual sensation now shows exactly the mood and colours I always had in my visions. I finished the work by uploading the last video today.

My work and participation is done.
