Its a very good and objective article which is kind of a reward for my efforts I have been doing in the past years in the development of professional online education systems.

June 10 CD - Soloistic is out now. Here the iTunes - Link http://itunes.apple.com/album/soloistic/id376744701 and here are some personal notes about the 14 tracks on this CD : 1.Arizona : This is a sologuitar blues played with fingerpicking and this orange " Arizona " feeling. I just love this kind of style in blues. This has the colour " orange " 2.Claim up : This is a new recording of my all time " hit " played with the two handed touch technique. Here there are a lot of additional improvised elements recorded then you hear in the old version of 2002. This has the colour " indigo " 3.Concerto : This is a new recording of my interpretation of the " Concerto de Arranquez " played with the two handed touch technique. One of my very favorite songs from the classical archiv. This has the colour " red " 4.Too cool : A very very cool song played with 3 guitars. I composed this for a student years ago, but it turned out to be very popular and gives this very cool mood. This could be the hit of this album. 5.Human Touch : A wonderful balade played with 2 guitars. 6.Spanish Guitarista : The name of this song gives you the direction here. Spanish influenced guitar with very red and groovy percussion. 7.Beat the Funk out : This is a really funky and wild fusion type song. I recorded the lead guitar in one take. Was great fun – I still listen to this song very often. I just love the parts where I really start to go wild on the guitar. 8.But I was cool : This song describes a longer situation where my emotions were getting more extrem but I did not show anything – as I say " but I was cool ". 9.Red Guitar : This is actually a house beat with a very red played guitar. Takes you to the rhythm and into this red mood. One of my personal favorites. 10.Flying away : This is the next chapter of the story started with " but I was cool " . Experienced listeners can imagine what the story was about. This song is in the colour " indigo ". 11.Live in the Lounge : A recording from a live – gig in a lounge. 12.Bad Blues : This kind of blues is very much my style. Remember the movie " Crossroads " - there is a scene where this kind of blues is played. 13.Violet Guitar : This is the colour " violet " played with the two handed touch technique. 14.Das Fohlen : An other original played with the touch technique. The colour " light blue ".

May 2010 - Finished Since my last blog - entry I have been finishing my release of those 7 CD's Farbmusik ( http://www.farbmusik.com ) and I had a speach in front of members of the SMPV in Winterthur ( Switzerland ) talking about professional online education systems and music & internet in general. The president who was in the audience as well constated at the end of the speach how impressed he was about my pioneer work in the past 10 years and my modesty which I have even that I have reached so much. You can imagine that a lot of people still dont believe me what all had happened to me during my times where I was into this pioneer - work in internet. At the end of my speach I said to the audience that even that my knowledge is still progressive for me the time of internet is over. I rarly speak about my personal feelings in my blog, but I really have a feeling of proudness when I review the last 10 years but I feel that it is now time to move on and leave this behind. For me this topic is acutally closed - this dont not mean that I will not continue my work which I have in internet but I will reduce it to those parts which are nessessary and open up for new things. Maybe its a personal disadvantage but it always has been like this. I put a lot of enery into something which I believe in but once I reached it I start to loose interest. After my speach about internet I felt that it is now over. Next steps : I got this movie " As it is in heaven " from a friend long time ago. I dont know why I did not watch it for so long. Now today I happened to watch it : http://www.amazon.com/As-Heaven-Michael-Nyqvist/dp/B002W1HBM0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1273310710&sr=1-1 I could not believe it - this story and specially the charactre of this conducter in this movie reminded me a lot to my ideas and my visions - I think I should start to follow my visions in music the way I lost it a bit during my engagment in internet. So I will start to practice regulary again and start to express music the way it is meant to be and I know I talk about this for a while start to play live again regulary. So this is tha plan. I can not say more at the moment. PS : But dont be afraid that I stop all internet activities - I will just set the priorities right.

CD Releases 2010 It has been a bit quite in the past weeks and months. I have been very busy with the final work and the preparations of a major CD release. I did not release any music since 3 years. But I was of course very creative in this time by working on a major release of 7 CD's with my " Farbmusik - http://www.farbmusik.com " where I composed and recorded 49 songs on solo - guitar, solo - piano and moderns sounds to the colors : red, orange, yellow, green, lightblue, indigo and violet. The guitar - recordings with the touch technique were the last ones I had to do and they were very demanding I have to say. I practiced a lot to get them done this way. You can listen to the selection of my 7 CD already on my german homepage : http://www.farbmusik.com/musik/colormusic.htm I am please and very greatful that this work is now finally done. Its my masterpiece as a musician - this I always wanted to do and I worked very long and very hard to get it done without knowing about the outcome of the story. Through my concerts in the past 2-3 years were I performend my " Farbmusik " I saw the great potential behind it since so many people reacted very positiv about it. These gave me the power to now take the last very big step to finish my masterpiece now. I guess I will cal myself J.S. Kruesi now Beside this I ectracted an other CD with guitar - feature music on it will I want to release the next months when I recovered from this big amount of work. It can already be listened at http://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/news/index.htm I will call this CD * Soloistic " since it features my guitarplaying. Going outside Switzerland Together with the CD releases I plan to get more outside Switzerland. I already made some efforts and investigations. The first results are quite promissing. But it is still too early to say something concret about it. But it is one of my major plans which I will keep going like I did with " Farbmusik * over all those years. I am now ready to go !
