Hello,

First of all, I would like to thank you very much for your kind compliment and ask you to also convey my warmest regards to your wife.
Regarding your question: In Germany, we say, "It was in her cradle." I'm not sure if this expression translates directly into English, and frankly, it would be too simplistic anyway. The fact is, there have been talented musicians in every generation of my family. But none of them ever made it beyond the confines of their parents' home or hometown.
My father was a gifted pianist, even though he was a civil servant. For me, the path was long. I became pregnant very young by a much older man, and that almost destroyed my family. But I had the child, and this wonderful girl ultimately helped to soften and heal my parents' feelings toward me, the baby, and even her father. A little over a year later, my second daughter was born, this time planned.
I separated from her father last year, a sensible decision that still hurts me from time to time. He struggled with my frequent absences due to music and his own work-related absences. For two years, I tried to change, but it was simply impossible.
You didn't ask about this, but it's important to understand what happened next. My parents are wealthy, and so was my husband, so I had both the financial and moral support to pursue classical vocal training, supplemented by solid instruction in piano and classical guitar. I completed all of this in my mid-twenties.
Around this time, Angelica, who is ten years younger, left the family under dramatic circumstances that I don't want to discuss publicly here. Five years later, she returned deeply hurt, and with the help of my parents, myself, and a few other important people, she fought her way back to life. Over time, she developed exceptional musical skills in composing and performing.
To make a long story short: We both worked as studio musicians, producing loops and vocals, working for well-known artists, realizing commercial productions, getting to know many musicians, and benefiting from their experience. We joined the group ManuS, and after the lead singer, Stephanie Burger, left in 2014, I took over her part. ManuS evolved into 2Sisters and eventually the True Sister Band.
Since last year, I've also been known as a solo artist under the name Nuela. My father would have been proud of me, but sadly, he didn't live to see these last few years; he passed away unexpectedly in 2015.
In short, it's been a long, 20-year journey that I was only able to embark on because I was fortunate enough to be born under a lucky star. Angelica and I are deeply grateful to our parents and my husband for making this path possible for us.

Warm regards,
Manuela

Thank you for letting me in a bit to understand you better. Now I understand the song How we fell apart, and regret making it such a disjointed remix, that was a personal song. So I owe you a personal song. https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/174110/
My wife suffers from Bipolarism, she has been hospitalized 3 times over the last 20 yrs. In 2016 she was in a state of catatonia for a week. I tried to capture that observation in a song. She is doing great now, but the disease stripped her of having a career in Opera, and also a choice for us not to have children. I am a Loyal person, though, and I would not abandon her as long as she continues treatment. It's not easy. At this time, my Parents had a decent Inheritance to give my sister and me. So I will be OK, not wealthy, but way better than most Canadians for their future. I also work in IT as a resource manager, specializing in SharePoint design. I make a pretty penny at that as well. I have my Sister to thank for steering me into this line of work. So Music is more of a hobby for me now. Thanks for your honesty. Sometimes the dark moments in our lives open up new opportunities for happiness. We just don't always see it when we're in the firestorm.

Hi Steve,

This is a great song. The drive, the bassline, and the drumming are superbly arranged, mixed, and mastered. It has exceptional intensity and clarity. The choice of instruments, the plugins, and the surprising, subtle saxophone entry towards the end, as well as the ending itself, speak volumes about your professionalism.

Again: a fantastic track. Best regards, Manuela

Thank you again, it feels good to flex those creative muscles once more. So I will ask you a question. How and when did you start to sing and realize you and your sister had such talent and could be great musicians?

Hi Steve,

I remember expressing my condolences to you months ago for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose your parents. I'm lucky enough to still have my mother, and since my father passed away, our relationship has become much deeper, closer, and more meaningful. And of course, I still have my sassy sister, who is also my best friend, and of course, my two precious children. I honestly don't know how I would cope if one of these dear people were no longer here. I'm sure I would struggle with it for a long time.
I also completely withdrew from Looperman for several months, deleted all my songs and even my profile, and only recently returned after much deliberation.

I read your message to Cosmo and was surprised how little we actually know about each other, despite all the years we've spent together here. It's nice to read about your experiences, even if they come from a time when I was probably just taking my first steps in music.
I've also completely withdrawn from Looperman for several months, deleted all my songs and even my profile, and only recently returned after much consideration. But your stories give me that warm, cozy feeling inside, just like when I was a child, sitting on the sofa with my father and listening to him tell stories. I really mean that. You have no idea what a precious treasure you share with us when you open up like this, even in such a short way as with Cosmo.

I hope that one day people will feel that same warmth when they hear my stories.

Warm regards,
Manuela

Hej Manuela! As you may have noticed in the past, I don't always respond right away to comments. The reason is I like to let the comments sink in so I can have a thoughtful reply. In this case, I was showing my wife tonight your lovely words. I am not exactly as ancient as you think I am, but sure, I could play a fatherly figure. My wife and I chose not to have kids for various reasons, but if you were my kid, I would be so proud of your talent and accomplishments. I needed a break, and I will be honest that the remake I made of you and your sisters' song sort of broke me. On one hand, I loved the dark twist; on the other, I was horrified that that was what creativity was coming out of me at that time, and as you know, I was dealing with some issues of the graven kind. So I put away the synths and the computer and focused on work, and dealing with all the aftermath of the loss of my parents. My father was a volunteer fireman for 70 years. The second longest lived in the department and was beloved by everyone there. I had a chance to have a cathartic moment with the people he influenced and mentored, trading stories in a sort of Cathartic Irish Wake moment. I gave a speech to the department as they held the funeral in the firehouse. The chaplain, who was older than my father as he was in his 90's, came up to me and said in the thirty years I have been giving speeches at funerals, no one ever captured or said the things in a way you did to understand the spirit of what it means to volunteer. After that, I bought a new car and turned the sun visor into a memorial of my father's medals and accolades. He always rides with me now, and that gives me some peace. So yes, I needed time and space, but I am glad to be back, and glad you are back. And if I ever had children, I would be proud to call you one of my own. Your parents were and are lucky to have you!

Great track, spooky in places. Is that second section microtonal? I've been listening to those crazy Canadians too! Very creative and great sounding piece you made here. Cheers Chris.

Hello! This is an interesting track, it's like ambient with some other genres on the top of it in different parts, like the drums in proper metal style, and then techno / acid - good creativity!

Hi Steve!
Good to hear a cool one from your lab after a long time!
The well-known progie sound as just you can do it ... that rockish drums from 0.40 is outstanding ... it made my rocker heartbeat ... :-)
welcome back, hope all is well with you ...
fistbump,
Danke

Danke, I missed you guys. 8 months. No inspiration, but then these two lads from Saguenay, Quebec, made me realize what I have done, and what I am capable of is still relevant.

Description : the other end of the scale from me, yep people, this is a ballad. its for all the people who have lost somebody long before their time was due,
i used my experience of tragic loss and how i hid my mental health issues that stemmed from it while writing it, its repetitive but has fresh verses
its to Matthias music Du Bist Nicht Mehr Hier almost the same title, He has suffered too that's why he wrote the music and dedicated it to his brother. i hope i have done it justice

He was a simple man. A high school teacher; wife, kids. He never thought in all his life that he'd end up alone in the middle of the Apocalypse, his family dead, doing his best to survive against all odds. The zombies have grown hungrier. More agressive. They have him trapped. There's nothing he can do now.

Description : I intentionally made this song minimalistic. The drums I spliced together from some drum loops I had, there's one other loop in the mix, the rest of the instruments are played by me (bass and synths). I used the excellent (and free) Cakewalk z3ta+ vst and the BBC Symphony vst. My intention was to create a very simple and dream like ambient track. Feel free to download or comment. Feedback is always welcome. Thanks.
