Hey guys,
here are now the August 24 news :
First some general strategic news which was the center of the main work in the past weeks. I have redesigned a few of my many websites in order to put up my new online strategy which makes this website the center of all content which gets created and then this goes out to all other website automaticly which are landing pages for certain keywords such as " gitarren unterricht anfänger " as you can see here : https://gitarrist.ch/gitarrenunterricht-anfaenger.html
All content which is marked with " guitar beginner " will be displayed automaticly there. Therefor I also made up my mind about music and AI and the future of music and I decided to push my brand " Farbmusik " more in front where there are no genres. Music is devided in categories of colors. All music which is marked with " gruen " as an example will be displayed automaticly on this page https://farbmusik.com/gruen.html . There is also an english page available here https://farbmusik.com/eng/green.html . The community tag for farbmusik in general is #farbmusik .
This stategy is now a major shift in my online strategies. Was in fact a lot of work and a lot of analysis of the current online situation with AI and fast changing community guidelines to the disadvantage of Users. I want to remind you that the community guidelines on this website are short, transparent and for the benefit of all Users. You can read the current version of them here. https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/guidelines/
The goal of these changments is to get a healthy independant and sustainable system running for all fans of guitar playing, guitar music and also farbmusik. If you love the work here please support it with a premium membership even if you are not a regular user or don't have so much time for practicing guitar at the moment. https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/subscriptions/
I am not planing to change them much anymore. Short, transparent and fair. And so " Fair Use " is the motto of this community here. I also want to remind you to the referral system which is installed. You can use it for your personal benefit if you want to make a few bucks which you can redeem for any service on this website. You can read all about this service here :
I have also a tiktok account for a while and the algorithm is making crazy jumps there but nevertheless I am approaching 1K followers which will make it eligible for monetization then. This account will be a " performance - only" channel - the eduction channel will stay on YouTube. You find the tiktok acount when you search for " hpcrazy " - it's the " hpcrazy73 " account.

and now lets move on to music
I have composed 2 new songs in a cinematic Hans Zimmer Style. For those who don't know his name. He is the most featured composer in many movies like : Gladiator, Dune, Interstellar and many others... check him out. I love that style and I did some of my features with colors ( Farbmusik ) and those songs get played at the live concerts now by playing the guitar live. I have been working the entire year on creating a really expressive and warm guitar sound with my new guitar and I am finally there - you can hear it when you what my liveshow which are broadcasted live each time. The event is still small and am building up the whole thing but slowly the music is there where it should be and the liveaudience always loves the music and the colors.
So here the 2 new songs :
The Traveller : Here is a cinematic composition with the bass and the piano leading the melody through the piece. In a way, it is a piano concerto with cinematic elements. It is based on the style of Hans Zimmer. The piece represents the color " dark blue "
Pandora : Here is a green piece which is supposed to reflect the wonderful atmosphere and the wonderful green of the fictitious planet “Pandora” from the movie Avatar. In the composition you can hear a piano playing the main melody, followed by an English horn and a cello. All mixed together to create this harmonious and wonderful green.
the next liveshow where you can watch is on Aug 19th live in the small church in Seegräben in Switzerland. Starts at 8PM Zürich time. Be there live or in the livestream :
That's now all for this month - thanks for your time and attention and your support.
