About Me

"filmpalast" was founded by cologne based producer and songwriter dirk schilling...ehm...that's me...so, let me tell you the short story:after being in bands playing guitar and dealing with psychotic lead singers almost all my life i needed a change and so i started playing around in my bedroom with a synthesizer and a sampler...and made it somehow to the english dance underground and produced music ranging across the whole spectrum of the electronic genre for the last years... then i got sick ending up "editing" instead of "playing"...i rediscovered my acoustic guitar, my voice and ended up sitting on the sofa "playing" with a big grin on my face... and that is what you'll hear on this site...Please check out the band website filmpalast.co.uk
for historic details and the label site projektor-label.com
to listen and purchase. Instead of changing the project name with every twist my music makes i decided to stick with "filmpalast" and follow the idea of a movie theatre that also plays a whole range of movies during the week...and we all love different kinds of movies, don't we? i honestly hope that the one or other song touches your heart. if so, i'd love to here from you...take care.If you're interested in my work as a photographer please go to virb.com/filmpalast
. ...by the way: i'm constantly looking for opportunities to play...cozy bars, opening up for a good band or artist...everything...in case you're interested to have me play somewhere, please get in touch...all the best and take care, dirk
