Calaminus is a one-man-project from Stuttgart/Germany
with the aim to produce groove-orientated instrumental music
with the focus on genres like Funk, Fusion, (Nu)Jazz and Pop.
It started 2003 after a decade of playing the acoustic & electric guitar
as a singer/songwriter and developing my sound and abilities in playing
by joining several bands - which were responsible for my change of musical style from pop/rock to jazzy funk.
Since then I work with sequencing, plug-ins, keys, samples and loops.
Nearly everything you hear is MIDI, but it should sound band-like.
One result of my efforts is the
album “Filet de Fonque”, self-produced 2010, showing my approach on groovy music with a spice of jazz. (Free download link above)
Every track released here on SoundCloud
is an original composition of mine,
arranged, recorded, mixed & mastered by myself, and is available for free download under Creative Common Licence.
