Why do you still search for the happy ending?

About Me

Winsto is a one-man-band, but it is a band. The reinvention of the wheel is not what Winsto is here for. To be quite honest Winsto is a therapy, an egocentric escape from the real world, an aesthetic attempt on shining over the profane and useless existence. Only beauty, but also the dark side of beauty, is to be considered as real. No truth, no moral, no reality that would exist out of our heads. Thanks for your attention


My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/6/2006
Band Members: Sven: Guitars, Basses, Percussion, Pseudo-piano, Pseudo-E-Organ or Harmonium & all kind of Vocals
Influences: Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Kristofer Åström to only mention the three most important. Summed up that is what they call the Blues, I guess. The Velvet Underground and Nirvana, play a great role concerning the attitude towards that little something "maybe-art-project"Apart from music there are influences from the side of literature, but it is difficult to really name an author, as it is rather a blend of epochs which inspire the lyrics. First of all there is the décadence / fin de siècle. The short and precise form of the German Expressionism is also to be found in favor to overcome the décadence... it is all little complicated, you see!As a source of inspiration may also be declared the G.D.R. singer/songwriter Gerhard Gundermann.
Sounds Like: My green tongue
Record Label: kein Label, aber: www.adlibitum-musikverlag.de
Type of Label: None

The great escape

I really made it! I just recorded a song I finished yesterday, but started writing about a year ago. It is one of the songs that I actually never finish, for I wanted to write them. Normally my songs ...
