Kaptain Clocks – NEWS:
You lovely people out there!
It’s time for a few words.
Many things are happening in my music (and private) life at the moment and I can tell you so far: It’s super exciting!
I’m meeting many musicians, mainly local ones from Kassel and surrounding areas. I’ve got countless ideas in my head, as usual I might add, but still, in combination with meeting all this lovely fresh people, making all kinds of new connections and friends, my fire is burning even hotter.
Publishing my first album all alone has been an amazing and very important experience for me. The album is a truly honest documentation of what I was capable of when working all by myself. It’s a self experience that I don’t wanna miss.
Still – it’s so very much time to go on. Life is absolutely not at all about staying alone in your chamber, posting once a while and letting your lonely thoughts bouncing on and off the walls… I am quite an entertainer – besides my huge addiction for music – and I need people to perform for. Be it family (my absolutely favourite audience!), friends or (yet) strangers.
This waterfall of emotions, meetings and preparations for meetings of all kind has been the reason for my longer lack of updating you guys.
I’m not sorry for it – ’cause if I lose myself in the internet the content I offer you will become empty and lame.
Nevertheless I’m happy to find the time now to write to you again and share my thoughts.
More stories are gonna come – and hell yeah, more concerts, music and humans dancing in the joy of a real life full of magic music!!!
Keep it on fire – rock it!
Watch the Lyrik Video for the song “Scared To share”!!!
Finally, it’s time!
April 12th will be the date.
Breathing Sound will be released that Friday and You can be there to listen to the music I have been working on for one year.
It is a special album in many ways.
It’s my first album. Not the first one I’m playing on, counting the jazz stuff I played the double bass. It’s the first one with my music. I am super excited and yes, scared to share, too.
I did it all by myself. Not to prove I could do such a thing. I had something in mind that I wanted to realise. I didn’t know “the right people” living close enough to form this magical band that I dream of night and day. So I did it myself and learned so much, it’s truly incredible!
In the end it was a feeling. I have faith that I’ll meet all the musicians in my life I crave for to play music live together. This one time it had to be me, and just me. It’s a kind of self therapy, finding out so many things about myself, finding peace and healing old wounds. It wasn’t easy, but beautiful.
Here comes the release special for all of you who want to stay tuned:
By subscribing to my newsletter you’ll receive the song Scared to Share as a download.
The following weeks I’ll be filling the song section of the Kaptain’s site, so if you wanna check out the lyrics or read some stories take your time to come by once a while!
If you can’t wait till April 12th, the easiest thing to do is going to my Patreon page and become a Fan or even a Super Fan – smile. You’ll not only tremendously improve your karma (no blasphemy intended). You’ll belong to the very first ones that invest their money to support my music.
Whatever you decide: I’m glad that you are here reading these lines.
We are living in a world full of haste.
In my world things need time to breathe. Things get loud and others become silent.
Have a great time. Hope to meet you soon!
Your Kaptain

Kaptain Clocks is a musician checking out all possibilities that sound offers. He’s a true sound explorer, not only always searching for the most profound ways to express his own ideas and feelings but also to widen his own sound horizon. Every day he is amazed about the power of the ear. The world offers so much profound listening experience and he feels that it is his call to share the sounds of his life.
Over the years he had the chance to learn several instruments to support his sound visions. He grew up playing cello, later started playing electric bass and finally thought to have found “his” instrument when starting with the double that he finally studied, focusing both on jazz and classical music.
You’ll find his whole story here.
Since 2015 his childhood excitement for rock music has returned and inspired him to begin with playing drums and guitar. In these days he is finally able for the first time in his life to express his own ideas. So before returning to his deepest yearning of founding his own family like band he has to record his first album all by himself. It is like a daily ritual, his holy prayer: The profound experience of shaping all aspects of his sound by himself.
That’s why he has deepened his knowledge about acoustics, recording and mixing, further on heading into mastering for sure!
It is our time that allows us for the first time ever to shape all of these aspects of capturing music all by ourself. It’s not that the Kaptain doesn’t know that he will need many other people in order to achieve his biggest sound visions.
But starting at this point on his own reveals such beautiful experience, diving into all different aspects of a music production, shaping it all the way he feels is right for his music.
Best place to follow his musical journey online is at this moment his YT-channel.
If you feel moved by the Kaptain sound world and want to support his work, you are so very welcome to enter his crew on Patreon!
The Kaptain is no fan of crowded mailboxes. That’s why he’ll send out his message in a bottle a few times per year, no more.
