THOMAS BLUG

Thomas Blug Viele haben ihn schon gesehen. Noch mehr werden ihn schon gehört haben. Denn der sympatische Saarländer (geb. 4/66) ist ein vielbeschäftigter Mann in der deutschen und internationalen Musikszene Und das seit einigen Jahren. Für einige Jingles (z.B. 'Das Aktuelle Sportstudio' (ASS) im ZDF), Film- und Fernsehserien-Soundtracks (z.B. für 'Die Oase' und 'Hart an der Grenze' beide SR/ARD) zeichnet er verantwortlich; anderswo spielter er mit -so bei David Dundas-; bei reichlich Pop-und Rockproduktionen ist seine bluesig rockige wiewohl melodiöse Gitarrenstimme Live und im Studio gefragt. Seien es internationale Größen wie Percy Sledge oder Hazel O'Connor, nationale wie Purple Schulz, Uwe Ochsenknecht, die Rainbirds, erfolgreiche Newcomer wie die Popper Planet Claire oder Tic Tac Toe, auf deren letzter Tour er die Chance hatte,auch dem begeisterten jüngeren Publikum Teile seiner Werke vorzustellen. Denn auch hier liegen bereits zwei Opera vor -unter Beteiligung exzellenter Musiker wie Raoul Walton (Westernhagen Bassist) und Sax-As Rick Keller-: 'The Beauty of Simplicity' und das aktuellere Meisterstück 'Electric Gallery'. Instrumentaler Mainstream Rock der Sonderklasse: Poppig eingängige Melodien treffen hier auf den typischen blues-rock fundierten Sound von Thomas' Stratocaster. Und der Sound ist auch ein weiteres Aktivitätsgebiet des Multiinstrumentalisten. Seit den späten Achtzigern arbeitet er als Sounddesigner, und weltweiter Performer für die Verstärkerfirma Hughes & Kettner auf Musikmessen von Frankfurt bis L.A.(Demo CD: 'Triamped', H&K 1995) -Außerdem gibt es noch eine instrumentale reine User-CD für die Firma Selected Sound namens 'Living Guitars' (1996) und eine CD seies vokalen Deutschrock Projektes 'Dreist'. - Kraftvoll melodiöser Maistream Rock in rockigem Strat Sound mal heftiger mal poppig, instrumental und dennoch mit Ohrwurmcharakter... 'Die Oase' (O.S.T.) (Scales 1999/96/Single '93), 'The beauty of simplicity' (Scales 1999/94), 'Hart an der Grenze' (O.S.T.) (Scales 1999/1996), 'Electric Gallery' (Scales 1999/97)

Thomas Blug Many may have seen him, but even more will have heard him. The sympathetic young German (born 4/66) is a sought after cat in the german and international music scene for quite some years. He is responsible for some jingles (f.e. the top german sports show 'Das Aktuelle Sportstudio' (ZDF) ), film- and tv-serial- soundtracks (see 'Die Oase' (The oasis), a big city eco-thriller, 'Hart an der Grenze'(On the edge), both by SR/ARD) . He as well played on other's compositions-like british composer's David Dundas. Live and in the studio he played with international greats like Percy Sledge or Hazel O'Connor, german acts like Purple Schulz, actor/rocksinger Uwe Ochsenknecht, The Rainbirds, Pop nerwcomers like Planet Claire or Germany's No.1 female Rappers Tic Tac Toe. On their successful last tour Thomas had the possibility to play some of his own stuff to their younger but surprisingly enthusiastic audience. The songs had been from his cds 'The beauty of simplicity' and the actual masterpiece 'Electric gallery', recorded with some ace players around like Raoul Walton (bass /Westernhagen) and sax man Rick Keller. Premier class instrumental melodic but powerful mainstream rock: poppy catchy melodies meet here the typical rounchy bluesy rocking sound of Thomas Stratocaster. And sound is an other working field of Thomas that brought him around internationally. Since the late 80s he is working as sound designer and worldwide performer on music fairs from Frankfurt to L.A. and inbetween for the amp company Hughes & Kettner (demo-cd 'Triamped' H&K 1995). -Besides that he has out an also instrumental pro-user-only cd named 'Living Guitars' on Selected Sound (1996) and a german vocal rock cdcalled 'Dreist'. Powerful melodic instrumental mainstream rock with typical strat sound, sometimes heavier and bluesy sometimes more into pop, with catchy melodies... 'Die Oase' (O.S.T.) (Scales 1999/96/Single '93), 'The beauty of simplicity' (Scales 1999/94), 'Hart an der Grenze' (O.S.T.) (Scales 1999/96), 'Electric gallery' (Scales 1999/97)
