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.

Here^s my modern tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Improvised to a beat I am currently working on.

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
