Frozen Waves Frozen Waves
A song about what it would be like to walk along a beach at sunset, when the huge, violent waves have frozen instantaneously at the coast.
My Old Man Cries Alone My Old Man Cries Alone
A short and simple song. Be sure to let it play past the first minute or so.
The GenreBusters are coming!
At least, one of them.
PipHanz is a band, of a sort. It consists of one person, me, singing, playing guitars, keyboards, bass, drums and programming loops. It's all recorded onto a computer using pretty low grade sound cards and connecters, and I use precious little time on the 'polishing', unless I want to.
It's experimenting music, finding out what sounds good without listening to any of the rules that come with the field. You might like it, you might hate it. Such it is.Band/artist history
I've played the piano for 14 years.
I picked up a guitar about 9 years ago and haven't put it down since.
I played in an improvisational band called 'Inside the Ass' (yes, very adult, isn't it) for a couple of years, which taught me many ounces of wisdom about writing songs.
I then moved on to writing music with the same cast from 'Inside', calling ourselves 'Hannibal and Snablen'. This taught me the ins and outs of computer recording and producing.
I was the guitarist in a danish band called 'Himmelblau' for a couple of years, before everything about that band went to shit in my opinion. They're still going strong, without any of the foundaing members left...
I still make music occastionally with the incredibly talented original lead singer of Himmelblau, mr. Jens Friis-Pedersen, for whom I have the greatest respect.
Generally, I like to write songs and mess around without having obligations to anyone's taste buds but my own.Have you performed in front of an audience?No live moments. I need a lot of instruments and I only have two hands.
Your musical influences
I am influenced by the Beatles, originally.
I then switched to Iron Maiden and Megadeth for some time, then to The Stone Roses and other british indie bands, and I'm presently at the
Radiohead/Jeff Buckley/Jonatha Brooke/Mercury Rev level. Let's say I'm eclectic. Some of my music reflects the heavy metal rhythms of my past, but my music is anything but heavy metal.What equipment do you use?
Some software, but not much.Contact

Why am I writing to you, then? A blank space here to fill, a blackout with an oppurtunity, a dream when I dont want to sleep, a wish I wouldnt allow in my right mind? wrong. Well, then, just a note of appreciation of your venture, though it leads away from me..no , its me who left, its me who's gone. Do you understand any of this? I don't want to know why I'm writing and I'm hoping you'll never read this. Conclusion: mad as a hatter on a bad hairday. Thank you for teaching me.
its been such a long, long time..
what will you say when you see my face?
are you going to put some new stuff out already??? something new to listen to...take your time..dumti-dum dumti-dum..Here's some potry to start you off: I can hear the cries from the sky where the rainclouds fly drumming down loud in the pits where spiteful petty people spit or catch their own reflection like drops they drown in the endless crowd community without connection...cummi-nummi-nummi no-bobo wuh-wu
