My Tribute to Martin Böttcher

Update:
SoundCloud announced that they’re going to use tracks to feed AI so I deleted mine.

German soundtrack composer Martin Böttcher passed on friday. My old band recorded his Der Ölprinz and Kara Ben Nemsi Effendi main themes, and with Tecumseh Melodie I aimed to understand his unique sound by trying to rebuild some of his trademark devices. Martin Böttcher not only beamed generations of kids into a beautiful adventurous frontier west with his audio magic, but in the early seventies he also was one of first three sailboarders in Germany!
