- Description
MrMessy sass jahrelang an seinen elektronisch angehauchten Liedern. Wie ein Alchemist tüftelte er an der musikalischen Goldformel. Und wurde, er weiss selber nicht mehr genau wie, fündig. Doch kurz bevor er „Heureka!“ in die Welt hinaus rufen konnte, erhielt er Besuch eines gewissen Mr. Murphy. Und es kam, wie es kommen musste: der digitale Abgrund öffnete sich. Das Gefühl etwas musikalisches geschaffen zu haben, löste sich mit dem Brand einer Harddisk in Rauch auf. Beinahe die ganze Arbeit war verloren. All die Arbeit und vor allem: die geheimen Formeln! Alles weg. Es blieb nur das Stochern im elektronischen Aschehaufen. Dieses förderte nur noch vier schwer verletzte Songs zu Tage. Und sie lagen während Jahren im Koma. Der Verlust sass tief und niemand wollte eine Reanimation wagen. Allen voran nicht MrMessy, dessen Name mit dem Desaster eine ganz neue Bedeutung gewonnen hatte. Eine Staubschicht legte sich über die Song-Patienten. Der Verlust wurde überwunden, aber nie ganz vergessen.
In der Zwischenzeit wurde MrMessy Produzent und unterstützte Bands u.a. Crimer, HNO, Swedish, Junes, Gigi Moto, MyKungFu,Marius und die Jagdkapelle, Al-Berto & fried bikinis, Yes I’m very tired now oder From Kid bei ihrer kreativen Arbeit.
Als im Jahr 2013 ein Assistent in MrMessys Foodcorner Studio dazu stiess und in den dunklen Katakomben des Studios eine vergilbte Schachtel mit den fast vergessenen Überresten der Songs von MrMessy aufstöberte, war sein Interesse geweckt.
Es wurde abgestaubt, aufgefrischt, mit neuem Elan gearbeitet. MrMessy wurde wieder zum Leben erweckt. Und es stellte sich heraus, dass die alten Songs im Kern hochaktuell sind.MrMessy had been sitting for years on his electronica-inspired songs. Like an alchemist, he was searching for a golden musical formula. And he found it, though he couldn’t remember exactly how. Before shouting “Eureka!” to the world, a man called Mr. Murphy came to visit him. It happened how it was meant to happen: the digital abyss opened. The feeling of having created something musical disintegrated when the hard drive crashed and burned, or so we thought… Almost everything was lost. All our finished work, and most importantly: the secret formulas! Everything, gone. MrMessy could only poke at the electronic ashes, and only four badly damaged songs emerged. They had been comatose for many years. The loss was profound and nobody dared to reanimate them. Consequently, MrMessy’s name gained a completely new meaning with the disaster and a heavy cloud of dust hovered over the song patients for a long time. The loss would be overcome, but would not be forgotten.
Meanwhile, MrMessy became a producer and supported these bands in their creative work: HNO, Swedish, Junes, Frantic, Gigi Moto, MyKungFu, Al-Berto & The Fried Bikinis, Yes I’m Very Tired Now, WolfWolf, and From Kid.
In 2013, a young assistant, who had recently been hired to work for MrMessy's Foodcorner Studio, found a dusty and yellowed box in the catacombs of the studio.
And in this box were the almost forgotten remains of the songs of MrMessy. A spark kindled MrMessy’s interest. We dusted off the old box, repaired the hard drive with renewed enthusiasm, and revived the songs! And it turned out that the old songs were surprisingly contemporary and warmed their hearts.MrMessy had been sitting for years on his electronica-inspired songs.
