As usual I try to release a new CD at the Syngate Festival... however this year I have to delay the release, cause my father passed away a few weeks ago and I like to scheme the release by the end of the year.Let's assume less stress for me at this moment... and at the end more quality for you listeners !

Sequences On Request ; how it was done...

Some friends asked me which machines I used and how the sound was created... I mainly used a Roland SH 32 and a Nordlead 2 for the ' analog ' sequences, then I recorded everything through an analog Mackie SR 24 mixing desk with a Lexicon MPX 500 fx connected at the send/return into Logic Pro. Ofcourse I further took care in the mastering ( T- Racks ) not to overdo the compression and limiters, that is how I got a truly rich analog sounding CD without spending a fortune :-)

Happy 2009 to all of you.

First stop killing innocent people with stupid wars.............................Thanks to all who supported me and my music. 2008 will allways be remembered with the album ' Solar Mission ' that Mac ( Bionight ) and I created together.This is the CD that I always wanted to make and thanks to Mac it's a great piece of music . New in 2009 will be a truly ambient album ( in which I go on experimenting with sounds/moods ) and ofcourse the ' live ' Kraftwerk tribute at the Satzvey Electronic Music Festival in april.

Review by Phil Derby from Electroambient Space

Stockman & Mac of BIOnighT “Solar Mission”(www.syngate.net, 2008) 11 tracks, 66.56 mins Both Stockman and Mac are known for bright, optimistic melodic EM, often with themes of ancient or future worlds, so it is not overly surprising that the two would decide to join forces, and Solar Mission is the result. It doesn’t take long for the title track to start moving right along with a steady beat and light electronics. Tangerine Dream’s pop sound of the mid-eighties, particularly their soundtrack work, is a handy reference point. Occasionally a passage may turn darker as the atmospheric sound effects take over, but it usually isn’t too long before the synth melodies and sequencing return. Whooshing winds fade right into “Space Travel”, which reminds me of Software with its easygoing accessible nature. “Closing In” features the catchiest melody yet and is likely to get your toes tapping along with its infectious rhythms. On the softer side is “Solar Orbit,” a brief ethereal number, which then launches into “Heat,” a bouncy happy tune with an insistent beat. Synths and sequencing build up nicely at the end. Fuzzed out sounds start “Sun Flares” before moving back into light, bright melodic electronics. Given Stockman and Mac’s musical leanings it’s no surprise that there is little to be melancholy about here. “Probe One” is a chilled exception, all atmosphere and space twitters. But the stuttering pulses of “Data Stream” bring the energy right back. Solar Mission is the ticket for easygoing accessible EM fun.

After 15 years experience with Logic this is one of the greatest updates, learned to adapt with all new functions/instruments/settings...The manual is a handy help in all these new situations 1000 pages for the program + another 650 pages for the instruments/fx.

Absynth programming.

Discovering the secrets of the Absynth programming, this is truly a remarkable synth that suits my apetite for ' special ' sounds and discovering new fontiers :-)...Deep Sea was one of the first ' good ' results. Other sonic ' inventions ' are now intensively used on some tracks for the next EM album ' Sounds and Sciences '
