2025: Music is the soul - Images are the mirror - Text is the memory - Vision is the origin - Everything begins with an impulse
With these words, I described and outlined the meaning and motivation behind Monolab in 1999. In principle, this motto or guiding principle remains, but circumstances have naturally changed and evolved several times over the years. Be it due to my health problems or my own motivation to continue working on this project. This also explains why I remain, so to speak, as the last Mohicans of the original group. In addition to the reasons mentioned, there were also some interpersonal problems, and logically, it doesn't make sense to continue participating in a virtually dead project. However, since I want to preserve the tradition and the old releases are still available, it's logical that the people involved from the past should also be mentioned. Also, keep in mind that the lyrics are up to 26 years old, and we were all young back then.
Ultimately, when downloading, you'd also wonder who the other musicians are.

As the days, weeks, and months pass, your lifestyle naturally changes, and you unfortunately no longer have the time for your projects or hobbies that you'd like. While 25 years ago I could still invest a lot of time in my music and projects, this is unfortunately no longer possible today, and often I simply don't have the time to implement certain things.
That's why, as mentioned above, I've been a lone fighter for years, and there was and still is little motivation to change this situation. Apart from that, the culture in our area has changed ignificantly over the years. While demo or music crews used to be common and numerous, much of it has now been replaced by social media, and these connections are mere relics of days gone by. Sometimes I feel like a dinosaur who just can't stop and still asks myself > does all this still make sense?
On the other hand, many of the actions and things you accomplish in life don't always have a deeper meaning. If it gives you a positive boost of peace of mind and you have tasks ahead of you, then it can only be positive. This is why there was another comeback in 2024, the website was renovated, and this is why I started another "career" on YouTube.
I just can't stop. :-) If anyone isn't deterred and would like to participate in this project regularly, just send me a short email and share your idea. Guest starring is also possible, of course.
Videos separately.
