2009 - 2010 Now since 2009 is slowy coming to an end it is time to review what all happened since this was one of or even the wildest year I ever had with a lot of up's and down's and extrems in all parts of life. The summary of challenges and problems was that big that it was very hard to decide what shall have priority. So I decided to give my creative work the full priority and take many disadvantages in private things as given but it was not easy at all to be honest. As an artist of course private things have an influence on any kind of creative work. You might get an idea how it was when you see the summmary of all things which have been finished and created this year. Music for movies and TV In Jan 09 I have been composing all music for the SULZER anniverary film. This was a big challenge since I had to compose 30 minutes of music in ambient, electronic and new age style. I have very little time for this and I am very pleased that I was able to fullfill all expectations. I think the movie is a bit boring - but I made a lot of money with it. http://www.music-pictures.com/sulzer.wmv I have been very successful to license my music in different national and interantion musiclibraries. The one is in Hollywood and is a very successful library which works together with the big producers of the industry. Swiss national TV SF DRS invited me also to get more into cooperation. And it turned out that I am one of the popular Swiss composers and they use my music for primetime broadcasting. They were asking for more music and so I composed many new tracks for them to get even more popular. Sounds very good but the money I get still is not what it should be. I started to work with different artists who shall make the whole music even more perfect to stay competitive in the international musicbuisness. Liveperformaces & farbmusik I did a big series of concerts in St. Jakobs Church in Zürich from Feb - April 09 which was the starting point to get into many negotions about taking my idea of music to the next level. You can see the final concert here http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=E698936135AC4379 It turned out that a lot of people are became interested to work on my concept of liveperfomances with music and colours. I tried hard to build a team and get this to the next level but it seemed that my very open way of sharing and working together got missunderstood as weakness and acutally nearly everybody got too greedy or not supportiv so I needed to stop the work with nearly all people I wanted to work with since they seemed not to accept that the main idea - the creative part of my liveperformance shall not be changed. I think they did not understand the philosophy and idea behind. Also some cooperation had to be ended because of private difficulties which unfortunately could not be solved. But the result of this endless odyssee is http://www.farbmusik.com - It got finished in Nov. 09 and created quite a attention at different media and magazines. The writters all say that I have created a new genre of music - this " farbmusik ". The website now is finished and I have a very good feeling that it will become successful. Since the visualization of the colors is very important for " farbmusik " it was very important to find the right person with the right feeling for it. I have been checking quite a few artists starting in spring 08. Nothing worked out the way I expected but finally a young local artist did the work very fast and exacly the way I always had it visualized in my mind. The visualization of the colors with movieclips unfortunatelly failed because differences in buisness matters. But this manager contaced me 2 weeks ago and we might find a solution next year. Online Teaching This is a work which I just kept going more or less beside all other things. I am still on of the featured instructors at guitartricks.com even that they changed there system more on local videoshoots. I need to concentrate on exotic stuff as touch technique, latin guitar or whatever. I am very greatful for that job since I still earn some good money there and it helps to make my name more popular in USA and CA and of course other parts of the globe. My own online guitarschool still is running with a small bundle of subscriber. I will have somebody who is willing to take care of the marketing and promotion of it in 2010. He thinks that it has a lot of potential since my online lessons seems to be one of the best and finest in the entire internet. My YouTube channel shows that my videos have been watched 330000 times. Not bad I guess. I also got invited from SMPV on a symposuim again to talk about online education systems. This is stil a great honor and shows that my work as an online teacher get much respected in my own contry by the Swiss head organisation of music ecucation. Normal Teaching Its funny - I wanted to stop normal teaching at the end of 2008. One of my students there really kept me going on with this even organized a new teaching room for me and now it turned out to be the most stable thing in my life currently. A lot of request and interest and my students come to my small teaching room in Bubikon ( Switzerland ) from far away and they enjoy the lessons very much and apprechiate my experience and my teaching style. ( there words )This small room slowly slowy gets into a representation problem since students expect something else when the see me in internet. So I started to get into negotiation with GODIN Switzerland that we can combine our efforts and maybe I can get an office there at there place in 2010. Bodo the guy from GODIN told me that he was very disappointed when I " cheated " him with Gibson ( USA ) Netlabel.ch I do own a recording company ( very small one ) and I am about to sign a very good artist. She is much into pianomusic and music and colors. So this would fit very good into the philosophy of my label. We started to work now - more to come. But therefor follow here websites. You find her websites here : http://www.tatjananikic.com http://www.doingnothing.org ----------- So this is it at the moment. My next steps now will be to take care of my private life more since the work on all projects which was very very intense is done now.

Nov 09 blog There has been some time since my last blog - entry. I have been very busy and met many people to develope my projects. So here are the results : Farbmusik.com My german website related to colors & music is now more or less finished. I have builded this website up during the discussion with my manager. We wanted to work out a full professional setting since my " farbmusik " has a lot of potential. But unfortunately it turned out, that my manager did not support my vision and he wanted to have exclusiv - rights. So I had to end up this cooperation. After all difficulties I went through during this year I think it is the best to stay on the line and just look for people who have a similar feeling and vision for projects. Everything else does not work in a artistic cooperation. So from now on I will select people who I want to work with very carfull and check if this really works without bigger discussions. So since the website http://www.farbmusik.com is now finished I will have a first interview tomorrow. It seems like people from different interest areas ( TV, movie, health, meditation, theraphy, wellness, liveperformances, events ... ) are very much interested in my " farbmusik " which is actually great. But it is not that easy that you get missunderstood as an artist and performer. Many people think it is meant in an esoteric way - but it is not. I will see what will happen and if this will cause more attention and more interviews. So since everything is finished I can not do more then keep it going and follow the reactions of the people. New CD Now I will finish my CD which I have been working on. I hope it will be finished till the end of the year. Acutally I have enough recordings for one CD but I what to get a clean concept on the CD so it might take some more time and of course I want to have more guitars on my recordings. This is the harder part to record some cool and great guitartracks. I have to be in top shape for that. New contract for my music I have got 7 more tracks under contract by a musiclibrary in Houton TX. Outlook I have been doing a lot of project work in the past months and had no free minute for myself. Now since I am finished I will keep things with teaching, performing and recording going on a normal level and now take care of my personal life which I did not do since july. This has now first priority - so it might stay quite with new flashlights for a while.
