I have made an album in German, it's instrumental.
I made this!
If you ever wonder what it was like to hang out in West Germany in the early 70s, drinking endless coffees and sharing a joint with members of Neu!, Cluster or the Baader-Meinhof gang, this is my attempt to evoke such a heady time.
And it has tunes you can actually whistle.
No judgement but it's made without any software other than Final Cut for editing.

Only listened to the first track so far, but that's great!

I was going to say it reminded me of Kluster.
Didn't read the message before listening and 20s in I was reminded of them. Fab

Sounds lovely, love the sound design/instrumentation/whatever you prefer to call it.
Is that a tweakbench tapeworm?

Thanks very much
If you mean the Mellotron (I had to look the tweakbench tapeworm) it's a real one that I recorded in Germany at the house of a man who has a collection of vintage instruments, including the holy-of-holies the Orchestron, which appears in tracks 3 and 8

Played live with a hardware sampler attached to a keyboard?

Normally I'd cite the adage that Secrets protect the audience as much as the magician but
It's much simpler than that, I had the tempos and key already and I played each part on the respective keyboard and recordwd it on a little Zoom recorder
