Music Video - Tunnel Vision
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.

Jupiter Rising
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.

HPCrazy Special - AVO Maria Lounge Dietikon
HPCrazy Special - 24.9.15 21:00 AVO Maria Lounge - Dietikon ZH Das HPCrazy Special kann man in einem Satz so beschreiben : Virtuos gespielte Gitarre aus allen bekannten und bisher nicht gehörten Kombinationen von moderner Gitarrenmusik. Meine musikalischen Einflüsse sind in den grossen Protagonisten der verschiedenen Genres von Rock, Jazz, Blues, Flamenco bis Klassik zu finden. Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Gary Moore, George Benson, Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Ry Cooder, Albert Collins, SRV, Robben Ford, Joe Bonamassa, Al Di Meola, Paco de Lucia, Stanley Jordan um nur die Wichtigsten zu nennen. Ich kann mich aber auch sehr für ausdrucksstarke Pianisten wie Brad Mehldau oder Ketih Jarett begeistern. Viele Ideen für mein Gitarrenspiel kommen von meinem Pianospiel, da dies meine ursprüngliche " Muttersprache " ist. Meine Spezialität ist meine einmalige Kombination der Touch Technique ( Stanley Jordan ) und konventionellen Spieltechniken im Zusammenhang mit Farben. Farben, Bilder und Emotionen sollen für den Zuschauer hör - und spürbar gemacht werden.

- TV & Movie Composer Website renewed
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.- Entire System renewed
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.- Guitar Lesson - AC DC Style ( Hard Rock Rhythm & Lead )
