Thomas M. Sprenger, born in '53, escaped the ivory tower writing a love letter for a love-sick warden, often astonished as to what four fingers can do to a guitar, fascinated by all the things that run at low voltage, likes singing in harmony with himself.
Michael Egeri, born in '53 but two month earlier, uses 6 more fingers for his craft, master of putting together weird chords, champion of the cadenza, the human metronome, you name it, he’s a whiz when it comes to the black and white keys, artiste extraordinaire with coloured chalk, in charge of the beer supply.
If it wasn’t for Michael’s urge to get things finished they wouldn’t look at 200+ songs and instrumentals they've put together over the years. Thomas is more the type to wait for a kiss from a muse ad infinitum as opposed to Michael’s approach of kicking the shifty dame in her pretty backside.
How do they do it?
Regularly. They meet every Wednesday and see what comes up or work on the song they haven’t finished the Wednesday before. Most of their material is based on keyboard chords because that’s what Michael is really good at. With the friendly help of the computer (and Steinberg’s Cubase) they fit in instruments that underline the character of the song. Up to that point they don’t have the lyrics yet, just a general idea what the song could be about.
For Thomas writing the lyrics can be a nerve-racking enterprise, because the more he has come to like the song the better the lyrics have to be. Just piecing together some odd words about love, pain and waking up with a bad taste in your mouth just won’t do.
So they have to try to find something inventive for the lyrics, an unusual subject (see Ice diver), interesting alliterations (love’s so tender and surrender comes only in full splendour), a good story or a political issue that is important to them.
They think good lyrics should give the listeners pictures that they can keep in mind.
Style?
They don’t stick to any definite style of music. You can find elements of the kind of music they like, namely Rock, Pop, Folk, Blues. The most important thing to them is that each individual song has it’s own character, that means tune, lyrics, background, rhythm, vocals mould into one.
