iTunes Link RED Los Lobos - This a genre which I truely love. Its the combination of electronic music with flamenco guitar played in a dramatic manner.

Its my first orchestral composition with some great dramatic tones and electric guitars. Dark Blue Coming Home - One of my very favorite songs in the color dark blue.

Dramatic Sports 2 - Again my favorite composing style in the industrial genre with dark and melancolic soundscapes and electric guitars. Violet Dieu - A wonderful violet song with some voices.

Religion - And again my favorite composing technique. Very dramatic. Pictures of Life - A violet song which is the door to heaven.

This is one of my favorite tunes which I recently composed for solo piano. A wonderful orange tune in the style of one of my favorite pianist - Michel Petrucciani. Too sad he passed away so early.

This is a wonderful tune which I composed for solo piano - I think it also fits into the colourmusic colection. In this case it would be a bright red.

This is my Version of Herbie Hancock's " Round Midnight " - one of the few cover versions which can be heard on www.pianist.ch - just love it.

I have signed Tatjana Nikic and release her first album " Innocent Melody " - I love the wonderful approach and touch in her music. iTunes Link

In my early years as a pianist I was focused mainly on Blues and Boogie Woogie. Here you find some recordings which give you an Impression of my style. Sometimes I still love to play this kind of music.

I recently introduced a box with jazz and latin piano songs.

HPCRAZY – Blues City Blues City is a small and dusty town in the ancient wild wild west. There are several characters living there and some different situations and scenes happening which are described through the music. Hanspeter Kruesi ( HPCRAZY ) is a Swiss pro guitarist which has the ability to draw pictures with his music and his guitar. Inspired through movies by Quentin Tarantino movies he created and realized this project. Creating emotions through polarities is one of his favorite method in telling stories with music. As a well-respected composer for Swiss TV and international TV Channels, Hanspeter gave " Blues City " the touch of a wild west movie with some unusual pictures and stories. Even Hanspeter is a guitar virtuoso, being popular for many years as online guitar instructor world wide on guitartricks.com or gibson.com to name 2 of the companies he worked with. Blues City was never meant to be a pure guitar feature album. The pictures and emotions are what always have been in the focus of Hanspeter's artistic work. Wild Wild West Welcome to the ancient wild wild west. We are riding through the wide landscape of Arizona. Mountain Cowboys We are meeting some friends at the campfire and enjoying the wonderful mountains which we are surrounded. Drunken Snake in the Dessert Travelling against south we are getting into the dessert. It is very dry – slowly we are approaching Blues City. From far we can see a snake which comes out of a bar – the snake is totally drunk and crawling through the sand with a terrible headache and totally dizzy. Suddenly 40 riders approach very fast and in an instant one horse steps on the head of the snake – and it is dead. The Horse The horse which hit the snake now stand around it and does not know what to say. It is very old and dusty and has kind of crazy eyes. That the horse has killed the snake makes it totally depressive and so it gets out the guitar and plays the blues. Unemployee Pier As we are approaching Blues City we pass a small little lake where you can see a pier. It is a know hangout for all unemployed people in town. There they hang around the whole day doing nothing, smoking, drinking and fishing. Even they do nothing they have a great time smoking that funny weed which is growing near that lake and laughing all the time. The Church The 40 Riders are entering Blues City – suddenly they hear the bell of the church ringing. The notice that it is Sunday and time to go to church. So the enter the church and start to feel the spirit of Gospel and God. Reverend Carter Now Reverend Carter enters the church. He is known in Blues City as a man who tries to do good but mostly he faileds because of whiskey and cheap women. But he has a fast shooting hand and sometimes he is successful to defend the right of the weak and poor because he is a mean as his enemies. Grandma's Apple Pie After church people leave the church when they suddenly get a wonderful smell in there noses. Its grandma's apple pie which she put on the window ledge to let it cool down. The 40 riders are very hungry and since they always take what they want with force they approach grandma's house to steal the apple pie. And so they start to get into heavy shooting fights themselves just because they got so greedy because of grandma's apple pie. The Sheriff The sheriff is the good guy in Blues City. He rides a white horse and his colts are blank and shiny steel. All people really love him because he is the hero in town. He always succeeds to defend law. Cool, hard headed but very firm in his actions he defends the law in Blues City. He see's the fight about grandma's apple pie – so he goes there and clears the situation and gives grandma here apple pie back. Night Crawler As the sun goes down a lonely rider approaches Blues City. He looks very mysterious. His hat is in his face so you can not see his face but you can see the smoke of his cigarillo he is smoking. And as it is getting night he slowly enters the bar to get himself a bottle of Whiskey and a good smoke. The Bad Suddely a very bad and mean looking man enters the bar. He wants to fight. Everybody is scared and hides where they can. Only one man is ready to stand tall and firm. The “ Night Crawler “ - he starts to fight with “ The Bad “ - and now even the 40 riders enter the fight and so it gets really wild. Heavy Session The sheriff hears that there is a heavy session going on in the bar. He takes his guns, his white horse and approaches the bar to make some arrests. Fighting goes on through the whole night, but like a shining light the sheriff enters the fight. The Bullet Suddely one bullet hits “ The Bad “ and fighting stops. Good has won. Daybreak has begun. The Goodbye After being one day in Town making some friends and buring “ The Bad “ as sun goes down the “ The Nightcrawler “ leaves Blues City. He never turns back when he leaves a place and leaves everybody behind. My last Smoke I am the teller of this story – I am living in Blues City and watching all people going there ways and live there lifes and now I smoke my last cigarrette.
