Good morning my dear fellas,

GAS is back and brought a new piece of gear to my setup +++ You might have noticed on my Instagram that I have been to Cologne last weekend to perform at "Modular Madness". The event was a full success, we had a big crowd of around 80-100 people and the lineup was a blast - my friends Timmey (DE), Sholinger (DE) and Miles Kvndra (DE) made this event a night to remember.

But in Cologne is also one of the biggest gear stores in Germany, "Music Store", and before I left the city I coulnd't resist and stopped by. And yes, what can I say, a new piece of hardware is mine: I purchased the "Soma Cosmos", a looper pedal that creates the most wonderful ambient textures I ever heard, combined with a great build and excellent sound quality (what else to expect from Soma).

In an earlier blogpost, I talked about the development of a new visual identy for 59 Perlen. The choice of buying this monster pedal follows exactly the direction I am developing with the design principles: I want to make more improvised, emotional music in the future, with organic sounds, and I also want to engage more in the field of art scoring. The "Cosmos" seems to be the perfect machine for these purposes and I can't wait to record a first jam with it.

Have a lovely Tuesday everyone !

59 Hugs
