It is all around us, ambience. A notion of distance and proximity that we all get its vibes. It can be as big as the air around us or as small as the space between two atoms, it can reside above the ground, under or inside it. Wherever it is, and whomever it affects, it has a grave impact on our world, both physically and spiritually. This album captures the essence of ambience in some of its forms, brings to the listener a grasp of its true nature. With fast rhythms the music is somehow in the style of Moonbooter.

In continuation to the previous album, Blind Vision, Atmosphere captures the soundscapes of the '70 in electronic music. Listeners will be able to find hints of old Tangerine Dream and Jean Michel Jarre music of that time embedded within a contemporary sound, melodies and production. This album took 6 months to produce from start to finish and the process of making it was smooth and flowing, indicating a harmonic creation.
The album itself is structured as one long piece.

This studio album was conceived out of the concept of the hybrid world we live in of analog and digital co-existing, especially in music. In composing and producing the album, special care was taken to sound palette selection as well as instrumentation and song ordering in order to blend together analog and digital sounds and concepts in a fascinating way.
This album is a concept one, with analog style sequences taken from the early moog and ARP step sequences along with early drum module sounds up until rich harmonics and digital pads and solo lines.
In the Jean Michel Jarre-like “Analog” this is evident. “Digital” begins softly, and then it is built up into a nice melodic track. In “Timing”, the sound of a clock is central. The title track with nice sequences and soft rhythms has some traces of Ron Boots’ music. “Hybrid”, again, has a strong sequence.

Darklight is an album of contrast. From the dark atmosphere and sequences of the track dark, to the wide soundscapes of the track light. For me, this album took the longest to finish as I wanted it to sound exactly as I had in mind, and for this I had also built a complete analog modular synthesizer that I could use to create all the sounds and timbres that make up darklight. Darklight ventures further into the realm of analog-driven electronic music by having the modular synthesizer take charge of more than half of the sound and all sounds are original patches. Very few digital and software instruments took part in this album.

When I started composing Moab, I had a concept album in my head that is based on the fusion of Analog synthesize and orchestral sounds, which I carried with me for several years, but did not find the right balance between the two.
Listening to Tron Legacy soundtrack, I immediately recognized that there’s a way to realize my idea of blending analog and orchestra sounds together into something entirely new. Time spent on Moab was considerable as I focused on crafting analog sounds that could be mixed with orchestral sounds of strings and brass in a way for the listener to not easily identify which is which, but once did, could enjoy a new sculpture of sounds.

"Nibiru" is a concept album by the Israeli musician Erez Yaary, who already has composed five albums. The cd depicts the musical voyage of "Nibiru", which is thought to be the 10th planet of the solar system that is affecting Neptune and Pluto's orbits.
Well, overall this is an atmospheric treat with some (ethnic) voice-samples, featuring lots of wavering textures with a slight heavenly edge. Next to some sedate tracks there’s also room for a bit more rhythmic/dance stuff on "Alchemy of the Mind", which doesn’t really fit in here, although it’s a nice try.
Next to several weak, slightly experimental and too common sounding passages ("Remote Viewing" should have been skipped as well) in the music I also encountered a few unnecessary drop-outs and cracks in the sound spectrum.
Nibiru, thought to be the 10th planet of the solar system that is affecting Neptune and Pluto's orbits, has a rotation span around the sun of 3600 years. 6000 years old Sumerian clay tablets portray a race called Anunnaki that have come down to earth boarding chariots of fire in order to rule the earth.
Sumar is an ancient civilization that flourished in the area called Mesopotamia, between 4500 B.C. and 2000 B.C. Many modern concepts have been formed in Sumar, like the Calendar and the Metric System.
This is the musical voyage of the 10th planet "Nibiru" and its inhabitants the "Anunnaki", which have come to planet earth and changed its nature forever.

A retrospective work of music of past projects in view of modern times. All tracks where carefully selected from albums "Projects I" till "Projects IV" to extract essence and ideas out of them to be the seed for this album. All music was re-composed and re-arranged, freshening the music with new sounds and textures as well as new melodies and atmospheres.

Continuing the journey started in the album Signal, Signal dives deeper into fusing orchestral and synthesised sounds and melodies. New harmonic structured are layered on top of electronic beats and sequences generated by the analog modular synthesizer, which delivers a new and exciting sound tapestry.
Signal's sound is darker and more 'analog' in nature due to the use of vintage sound processing that deliver classical '70 ambience to the music.

"Synergos" is one long and fluid piece of music, soothing and encompassing. Almost 40 minutes from start to finish in one bite. It is my most ambitious creation, composing and producing a single unit of 40 minutes where an external sequencer was dealing with all the poly-rhythmic steps while the internal Apple based sequencer was dealing with longer musical cues.
In the making of this project, two hardware devices where built in order to extend the sound palette used in the album as well as provide additional compositional control.
The first is the SID Box 6561, a synthesizer built around the Commodore C64 SID sound chip, while the second is the Skylight MSS 2007 Midi Step Sequencer. The MSS 2007 drives all sequences and drum parts, while the SID Box provides sound effects and strings.

All new titles compsed for this compilation.
On March 11th, 2011, Japan had to experience the most powerful earthquake of its history. Pictures of the following Tsunami were seen around the world. This natural catastrophe caused extensive and long lasting consequences. In one word: Fukushima.
Ten thousands of people died, hundred thousands are homeless. Families, children and old people are fighting for their livelihood. The world is shocked and takes share in the fate of the concerned. The quiet and proud japanese people welcome this solace. But even a country like Japan cannot manage the enormous challenges alone. Therefore, the consoling words have to be followed by action!
Based on this thought, Mellowjet-Records started the project "Electronic Music FOR LIFE" shortly after the catastrophe. The idea was to release a compilation and to donate the complete revenue to a charitable organisation. The response and readiness of the addressed artists to support this project was overwhelming. So, INTERDISC agreed to sponsor the first release of a double-cd-production. Even more artists joint the project.
The Eroc Mastering Ranch offered a free audio mastering. Company Rebeat offered the free digital marketing and added a special sponsoring package. A survey among the participating artists confirmed, that the revenue should be donated to the Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (DRK). Due to this remarkable development the DRK was convinced to support this project by allocating their logo. Within a few weeks only, Mellowjet-Records was able to compile and produce an excellent, 150 minutes long double-cd which involves all faces
of contemporary electronic music. Most of the 27 songs from 27 different bands and musicians have been composed exclusively for this project.
Only to mention some: Robert Schroeder, Eroc, Bernd Kistenmacher, Rolf Maier Bode, Harald Grosskopf, Mythos, Matthias Beine, Wellenfeld, Dithmar, moonbooter, Uwe Reckzeh, Spyra and many, many more. Besides dreamy sequences of Berlin School, powerful chorals, piano-ballades, orchestral works and danceable electronic music this double-cd offers as well experimental pieces, synthiepop, spacerock, chillout and ambient
music. Thus, this album should be part of every collection!
All artists as well as the label waive their share of profits. The whole revenue from sales of the double-cd and downloads will be donated to a project of the Deutsches Rotes Kreuz and will support the people in Japan directly.
Please support the victims in Japan by buying this album. Even if the world tends to forget quickly: the misery will remain in the everyday life of the people in Japan for a very long time.
Thank you very much!

In June 2019 the album "Erez Yaary - Delta" was released. With almost 30 minutes playing time it was unfortunately too short for an album release on MellowJet-Records. A few months later, at the beginning of 2020, I had the spontaneous idea of a cooperation. I wanted to complement the album "Delta" with further tracks and thus turn an EP into an LP. Erez Yaary immediately agreed to it. After I had familiarized myself with the not so easy theme of the album, the "Simplicial Complex", 5 new tracks were created, which were seamlessly integrated into the existing ones. The original title "Macroscopic Change" served me as a template for a reprise. As title for the album we chose the very fitting name "Delta Evolution". And because "Erez Yaary & moonbooter" sounded somehow strange, we limited ourselves to our last names "Yaary & Scholl". The new artwork is based on the original of the album "Delta". Musically, "Delta Evolution" is sophisticated and at the same time highly entertaining electronic music. Real electronic sounds mix with orchestral sounds. So natural instruments have their special place on the album. There is no strict monotony. Variety is the program. "Delta Evolution" was produced with a lot of love for detail and with high technical effort. Also the fact that it is, among other things, a German-Israeli cooperation is not quite commonplace, especially in electronic music. Nevertheless, the music is and has always been in the foreground. So: Listen to it!
