The power of a synthesizer is not to imitate but to create !!
I will perform live with Stephan Whitlan at Awakenings-EM 18th march 2023 in the UK!
And some CD shops for buying CDs/LP and so on, with mostly EM-music like Berlin-School and ambient
Links to interesting websites/blogs about em music.
You can listen to the music at Bandcamp and on my Youtube channel
I released some CD's, some "home made" CD recordables and a real CD.
Please feel free to comment. On the Bandcamp account you can also download the music. Scroll down to see all my productions.
On the left side there are some links to (internet)radio sites which broadcasted my music (but there is a lot more em-music to listen).

Under the name "Skoula" with the title "Live" I made my first CD recordable. Recorded from 1997 - 2001 with a compact cassette tape recorder and with the help (sometimes) of Cakewalk (midifiles) installed on a 386 computer.
The second one named "Voyager" under the name "Skoulariki" recorded digital from 2004 - 2006 with Ableton Live Delta on a 1200 mhz labtop computer. Most of the recordings are done in one track and with the use of the arpeggiator from the Kurzweil Midiboard.
***
After several questions about the CDr "Voyager" I decided to made this production available for downloading. Not all the tracks, I made a selection and put some new (old) to it, to complete a second "Voyager" under my artist name Skoulaman. Just visit my Bandcamp account.
