Surftronic Disco Pop Music
Oh My Dear, My
Reindeer is an attempt to blend electronic music with guitar instrumentals (no shredding, of course). Indie-guitars, surf leads, software-synths, cigar box guitar tunes and pimped field
recordings get in the ring.
There's going to be some blues and vocal experiments along with Western Austrian language...
SOON TO COME!!!

OCTOBER 2016 - New Album out now: YEAR OF THE DEER. Ten great surftronic tunes from the whale district:
OMDMR does Neil Young Cover for CBN cover project
Every now and then the cigarboxnation (an online diy instrument creators community) calls for a cover project. After Robert Johnson, Townes Van Zandt, The Beatles and many more it was Neil Young's great songbook to be honoured this way. OMDMR chose "Dead Man Theme" from the Jim Jarmusch-movie "Dead Man".
OMDMR does Roberto Diana Cover
Italian guitar maestro Roberto Diana started a so called "No-Contest" and was looking for cover versions of his song "If You Are Happy". OMDMR is doing an indie disco version of the folk guitar instrumental. Feel free to listen - and follow the contest here ...
Debut Album "Random Access Memorial" out now!
Oh My Dear, My Reindeer is an attempt to blend electronic music with guitar instrumentals (no shredding, of course). Indie-guitars, surf leads, software-synths, cigar box guitar tunes and pimped field recordings get in the ring.
Album no. 1 "Random Access Memorial" is ready to be downloaded now. 12 instrumental tracks are waiting to blow your speakers. Tell it to your friends, to your pets and even to your flowers. This is the soundtrack for 2015!
Plenty of the sounds have been produced with my handcrafted shrink kitten cigar box instruments (bass, guitar, cell, ...) and may push guitar music to the next
level... Download a diy-cover here:
The first official OMDMR-video "Tempesta" has been realised with powerpoint. Music and video inspired by Hans Platzgumers books "Der Elefantenfuß" and "Trans-Maghreb".
It's the end of the working day and you feel like relaxing in front of the fireplace, fed up with all the public radio christmas
tunes... try this! "End Of Season" has been recorded on cigar box instruments (3-string-guitars, cello, ukulele bass) and a höfner violin bass. You can as well hear a few electronic pad and
sequenzer parts.
