How about an ever so relaxing piece of music? I composed and recorded this already 30 years ago in 1996. Recently I stumbled across this old recording and I wondered what I considered to be a good sound back in…

I often heard that my music sounds like film music - and here we are: This is the first time I did it on purpose. Imagine an Italian cinema movie from the early 1970s. I like the tragic, melodramatic mood…

Hello dear listeners, I just finished my new album “Happy Hour”. A charming mixture of swing and Latin music. The last title got ready yesterday and is called “Void”. Enjoy the music! Cheers, Mario Stresow: HAPPY HOUR

This is a happy one. And if you want to, slip into your old self-made frog dress and jump around the the corners of your quarter. Just remember: We all have the freedom to go nuts any time! Hop!

Imagine a Guitar and a Piano dancing together as a ballet duo. Bass and Drums delivering the frame. A retrospective mood with a modern sound. Your part? Just listen and dream. A french Twist in Spain

You are having a date with your new flirt in a bar. It is already late and the bartender is a guy with a lot of experience. That means he now will play this song: It´s so nasty fine

He is definitely hoping for more, as you can tell by the end of the lyrics. But what about her?  Will she also reach out her arm - or rejecting his one?
Let this song be your dreamy companion throughout…

When I was a little kid, around six or seven years old, I used to sing this at night in my bed. I was mesmerised by the melody as well as the German lyrics. In my early 20s I tried…

What would the then five-year-old Mario think about the now old Sack Mario if we met in a time machine? Regards, Mario

Grab a drink of your choice, sit in your favourite place and watch a beautiful sunset. Even if it’s just in your mind. Or just relax and meditate while listening to this soothing music. This melody is able to be…

How about some swamp music? Again I recorded this with my approximately 62 years old Hoefner archtop  guitar, that I bought at the end of the 2024. You can see this guitar on the picture of this block post. And…

Like a Mother hums to her Baby Child. The core of things. After rhythm melodies might be the second earliest element appearing in music history. The melody tells the story. The melody is the story. The melody is a being…

A prayer can’t hurt. For example, one can pray that things will develop for the better of humanity in the next year. Or that the kiosk is still open. Or that your own partner will have a better mood again…

For me, there are two types of waltz. The bright for the opening dance of the solemn party. And then the dark one, who has something morbid about it. After all, you can not only dance, but you can also…

November is the time of year when the trees lose their leaves. The weather is getting cold, outside it is often foggy and rainy. And sometimes at this time of year our mood also goes in the gloomy direction. Then…

You take a seat in your favourite wing chair, the woollen blanket on your knees and a cup of tea in your hand. Your gaze is relaxed, because it falls into the beautiful English Garden. How nice it is to…
