A surprising encounter, which then requires someone to think about the near future.

The 10th release of cuentos cortos con sonido. A bit different, with real videos. And i think it's the last of this label (So new things will be released at another label ). Focus is the music, maybe the fitting 'short story' is the history of this label and its releases. I'm pretty proud of this release :-)

That purple bunny which evolved as the glbkst avatar - which would be a long story in itself - or at least the profile picture which stayed. I never thought about if it has a home. Until recently. And i decided to think about it.

A drawing and a soundtrack

The short trip reached Arras and a small dog is found.

A shorter short story

A "commemorative release" currently without something to collect. This is the 4 piece soundtrack/shortstory/cover art combination which came first. And a co-creation.

a short story with soundtracks

Yes end. Since glbkst is more of a virtual artist, it's pretty easy for me to retire the artist glbkst. Or at least take a break. There are others. Still, it wasn't a light decision, because I've released more with glbkst than planned. And I like a lot of it.

A shortened short film that's perhaps a bit amateurish and not necessarily coherent in terms of content. However, it's a container for four songs ( 1 in this version ) In German language, with some English subtitles.

Song + Drawing

This is art, Is it art? No that's not art, Everything can be art! that's the chorus of the song

i'm short of real videos rn

Real footage of Saturn and its rings and moons captured by NASA's Cassini probe

Compilation of all the spacecraft footage of Saturn's moon Enceladus targeted and captured during the course of NASA's Cassini mission.

We humans need to hold our cosmic situation in mind while dealing with matters on Earth. NASA's Parker Solar Probe captured this grand prospect of Earth swimming in a sea of stars over the course of ten days in April 2019. I have processed the raw footage and remixed it with sounds of the Solar wind and a stellar track by Max Richter.
