Calaminus

Born: June 12, 1978

Calaminus is a non-profit one-man-project from Stuttgart/Germany with the aim to produce groove-orientated instrumental music with the focus on genres like Funk, Fusion, (Acid/Nu)Jazz and Groove Pop, spiced with some ethnic influences of the worlds music sometimes. It started 2003 after a decade as a Singer/Songwriter on guitars & vocals and some bandwork. Since then I mainly work with sequencing, plug-ins, keys, samples and loops. Nearly everything you hear is sequenced (MIDI), but it should sound band-like. As Calaminus I also released 4 albums which can be downloaded for FREE as well:
Filet de Fonque (2010)
On the Trail (2012)
Grooveyard (2013)
To Another Place (2014)
