Martin Gustav Collective
Growing up in Austria, I founded my first band in 1994 playing bass, which has remained my main instrument ever since. From early on, I was the kind of musician who composed the music around existing lyrics. Over the years, a lot has changed: from my very first recordings on cassette tapes, to the first steps with Cool Edit Pro, and eventually moving on to Logic each stage shaped my sound and approach. With the internet, it became easier to connect with lyricists and musicians from all over the world and turn ideas into full productions. I was never the strongest lyricist myself, but I developed my own style as a songwriter and composer. The Martin Gustav Project is where I present these collaborations a collection of songs shaped by friendship, creativity, and the joy of making music together.

Story behind the song
About 25 years ago, I was playing in a band and we were working on our second album. One of my own songs got dropped from the tracklist, and I was a little frustrated. So I asked if anyone would help me record a few of my songs on the side. Our guitarist and drummer, who already knew the material, immediately said yes. The guitarists girlfriend joined in on vocals, and another friend added piano. In one afternoon and evening during what was supposed to be a break we recorded five tracks together. Among them was a quiet cover of Candle Song by Ugly Kid Joe (written by Whitfield Crane, Dave Fortman, Cordell Crockett, Klaus Eichstadt, Mark Davis, and Roger Lahr). Now, with the help of todays technology, this intimate recording finds its way into 2025 reimagined as part of my journey
