Extraterrestrials symbolises the confrontation with what exists outside of the earth and is basically also omnipresent on the earth. A sound painting, realised with gongs and electronics. Deep bass paired with electronic sounds and the drone of the gongs allow you to immerse yourself in an intangible mood. Pure emotion.
Shamanic wirlwind is the result of a spontaneous studio session with Ken Peacock and me. It was based on a framedrum composition of mine. Ken then played his flute in his unique way. After that, the piece was further developed and a whirlwind was created. It is an invitation to leave everything behind and set out for new horizons.
There are days when you are overcome by melancholy and need to reflect on what is really important in life. It was the same with Aquamarine. This piece emerged from a small idea on the Rodes piano, followed by drums, guitar and bass. No samples, everything recorded live and always in one piece. 80 bpm is already a challenge and so this piece of music simply gets a somewhat bulky and at the same time flowing mysticism through the playing. The moment was captured perfectly. Not slick and midi-slick, but pure playing. Simply honest music. Katrin, the woman at my side, loved it immediately and found herself in it. I hope this is also the case for you. Enjoy the slowness of being. Take a deep breath
Fundor is the result of a beautiful studio session with Pietro Fauno Finizio on bass. His roots lie primarily in jazz and soundtrack composings and classic rock. Through a collaboration in sessions, I developed the desire to record something with him. Here is the first result. A journey into unknown worlds is in the making. We will see where and in which galaxy it will lead us. Fundor is a planet to be discovered.

This piece was created during a studio session in Nuremberg under the direction of Dieter Weberpals. In this song, Aziz sings about the peace that we all hope for so much, but which is constantly being prevented. Here musicians from Mali, Burkina Faso, Germany and China play together. A wonderful example of the possibilities of approaching each other without killing each other. We ALL need peace... always. So Kele is a piece for world peace. Let's give peace a chance

Miracle is the result of a melange of a gong session and my sound generators. A mixture that attempts to vividly depict the riddle of our time. My perception is pervaded by great confusion and thus found its way into this piece. I try to stimulate the confrontation with what is and what we assume it to be. Brainfood, in other words.A Miracle to live in this times and not going down
Sylphe is the result of a collaboration between Ullip and the exceptional guitarist Aki Riihimäki from Sweden. Ullips spherical soundscapes merge perfectly with Aki's virtuoso guitar playing. Music for the future for the now .....
What is SYLPHS about?
The music is like a storm, as it emerges from another piece of mine. Tormenta was the basis for this track, which I then completed with Aki Riihimäki the way I wanted it to be. The air spirits are depicted here in an impressive form, circling around you and lulling you to sleep. They let go and spread their mystical overall context. Aki found the right mixture of sensitive play and speed, which could not be better depicted in such a different way with air spirits. A really successful work.
The cover picture was taken by the woman at my side. Katrin Aubke!
It's a picture that shows the view from our home in Andalusia into the mountains. Untreated and pure. The place where the air spirits are at home
2016 was a year of great upheaval in my musical endeavours. After Namakua left the band Flordelavida, Birgit and I were left. This piece was created during a studio session in the film studios of Lars Bunse (Indicato.net). Produced, mixed and mastered by me in Andalusia after seven more years. A piece of melancholy, for a time in which a lot of heart music was created. Unfortunately, Birgit and I have parted ways. But I wanted this enchanting piece to be preserved in my sound cosmos.
The collector is the essence of our time. In the general mania to record everything about everyone and all their actions, we find ourselves in a time of information overload, which, however, does not lead to life-affirming action, but instead produces restriction and transparent individuals. This music wants to express this and make clear the oppressive situation in which we all find ourselves. A statement and an assessment of my creativity. No AI but pure play without programming are the basis for this. The mind must be able to flow and not be forced into a pattern by algorithms. Recorded in the Bergtonstudio Andalusia, the place where I live and work. My music is not subject to any label constraints or financial restrictions. It is an expression of my being and is open to everyone.
Jumoo basically stands for June Moon. In this purely electronic piece, I took on the challenge of creating a piece with absolutely low budget equipment that approaches the relevant preset production in a completely new way. Inspired by the Starship Enterprise method of beaming, this creation was brought to life. Music that goes well with teleportation and fulfils the desire for change.
Terra Lux Ensemble : LSD
A new soundtrack from Terra Lux Ensemble. we working with the Cosmic Oktave and the frequency of LSD . A special soundjourney .
created by Ullip, Akasha Project and Steven Craven.
Production recording and Mix by Ullip at Bergtonstudio Periana Spain
Music by Terra Lux Ensemble
Master by Barnim Schultze (Akasha Project) at his Lab in Braunschweig
released May 30, 2024
absolut Intuitiv music
When Barnim Schultze visited me in spring 2024, he produced around 14 hours of very useful material. Steven Craven was also there one day. This piece was also created in a cycle of 7 pieces. LSD, based on the frequency foundation that Barnim had developed through his work with Hans Gusto. This piece, which can basically accompany a deep meditation, was enriched by the trumpet with the ether and I as the drummer gave the whole thing a grounding again. A very interesting experiment, which above all emphasised the differences between the individual players. With the use of the most modern sampling technology as well as traditional classical instrumentation and the post-punk-infused drummology, a very unique and time-describing sound composition was created. Thanks to all who made it possible
Clapping :
based on a pice from Steef Reich.I made my own Version. recording, mixing and Master at Bergtonstudio Periana Andalusien. Music in this pice by Ullip © enjoy the special style of my percussion universe
Cover by Merle Kumschier a painter living nearly in the area
Samplers and compilation releases :
There have been many versions of Steef Reich's contemporary classic. So I saw this music as an inspiration and an impetus to send my version out into the world. Weaving the individual patterns into a new whole was a challenge that had to be overcome. With the handpan as the basic instrument, I was also able to introduce a certain melodic element. A piece that shows my love for contemporary classic and has since become one of my stylistic elements within my music
Single : Tormenta
Tormenta is the result of a really stormy day, and so it is called storm in Spanish. Without knowing what was going on outside, this piece was created in one go. It is the pure emotion of the moment, expressed through the sounds that were given to me. Intuitive and immediate. A storm that swept through me . So I decided to leave it exactly as it was created. Like our times right now: storms everywhere. A contemporary document.
Recorded in my mountain sound studio in Andalusia, nestled between high mountains and a rugged landscape so rough and unreal and at the same time so beautiful and peaceful. Opposites attract... this is Tormenta the Storm

dedicated to my great Muse and Love Katrin
Heavy Travel is the result of a cool studiosession
with Ullip and Mark Hewins.
two special musicians are on a heavy travel. A roadtrip with energetic power and inspiration.
recording at Ullips Bergtonstudio
Mark Hewins - Guitar and Sounds
Ullip - Drums and Bass
Heavy Travel is the result of a recording day with Mark Hewins. A sound painter and finder with a wealth of experience. He comes from Margate in England and has played a major role in the sounds of Casio instruments. Even if this is less well known. It's basically the basic tracks that have also been adopted by Roland, Yamaha and Korg. The primordial soup of the modern music world, so to speak. So it's not surprising that nothing normal-sounding comes from the hands of this exceptional guitarist. With slide effects and a marvellous feel for Athmos, I had the opportunity to explore our points of contact with him. A real gift. To play with someone who has toured the world with Lou Reed, Phil Collins and the much-appreciated ‘Gong’ project was absolutely inspiring. In another song (September) he also brings his other side, that of the accomplished jazz guitarist, to the fore. As versatile as a chameleon. A passionate diver (yes, in the sea as well as in the sounds of this world)
