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.
