Musicellaneous ‣ Presto
Friday again! I think I’ve hit the rock bottom in my quest for musical exotics.
This eighteenth edition of Musicellaneous features a totally unknown to general public endeavour of Japanese jazz musicians titled Presto.
There’s as little as nothing on it on the Internet. And if there were, you wouldn’t be able to find it given the band’s name.

It’s Friday! A pandemic is definitely no reason for missing out on the good music!
This seventeenth edition of Musicellaneous presents a mysterious and obscure band I bet you never heard of.
It’s the jazz-funk-fusion project Electric Outlet from Germany.
Musicellaneous ‣ Widek

A happy Friday the 13th everyone! This sixteenth edition of Musicellaneous features yet another portion of fascinating space djent played by yet another one-man band, the Polish guitarist Widek.
Widek owns a recording studio, which he used to record and mix more than a hundred bands.
It’s quite surprising how low-profile he is considering the number of musicians he played with.
Musicellaneous ‣ 4Front

Gee it’s Friday again! The fifteenth edition of Musicellaneous continues to introduce you to progressive bands having a 4 in their name.
This time I’m going to pull the American instrumental-progressve-jazz band 4Front out of my music treasure chest.
This project is as little known as it is fascinating. You will hardly find any information about it on the Internet, save for the band’s Facebook page.
Telegram channels
I’ve finally made it to Telegram. I’ve also created Telegram channels for the blog feed in all three languages.
Musicellaneous ‣ 7for4

Friday! This fourteenth edition of Musicellaneous presents a little known yet extremely professional German collective with the funky name 7for4.
7for4 was founded back in 1999 by the guitarist and the band’s frontman Wolfgang Zenk. It has released only four albums to date.
But what albums!
Musicellaneous ‣ Lost in Thought

Is it also Friday where you are? In this thirteenth edition of Musicellaneous we continue to learn about lesser-known yet very progressive bands with a three-word title.
Today we’re listening to Lost in Thought from Swansea (Wales, UK) which plays melodic progressive metal.
Musicellaneous ‣ Beyond the Bridge
It’s Friday! As a follow-up to the topic of symphonic metal started by Osture in the previous edition of Musicellaneous, this time I’d like to tell you about once-existed German band Beyond the Bridge.
During its lifetime the band has recorded the only album, but it’s a real masterpiece (you wouldn’t see them in this series otherwise).
Aikido seminar in Nijmegen
It was my very first visit to the Dutch city of Nijmegen, which is located near the German border.
The reason for my going there was a joint aikido seminar led by three senseis:
- Tom Dijkman (6th dan aikido aikikai);
- Jan Thesing (5th dan);
- René Habraken (5th dan).
So I was brave enough to not get scared off by storm Ciara (but nonetheless happy to be back home before dark).
PeriPage A6 pocket thermal printer review
About a month ago we’ve bought a peculiar gadget, the pocket thermal printer PeriPage A6.
Quite a bit of thermal paper has been spent since so I think I can share my experiences about the device.
Musicellaneous ‣ Ostura

It’s Friday again, which means—another gulp of exotic music in the eleventh edition of Musicellaneous!
This time I’m going to sidestep the tradition of reviewing instrumental djent stuff. Our guests today are the cinematic progressive metal band (in their own words) Ostura from Lebanon.
