What is this sorcery?! It is not freezing indoors, feetses are demanding to be worn in lighter feetses-wear, birds outside in the trees are greasing up their vocal cords, and oh look, but don’t look, there’s the sun.
It seems we have entered the limbo between winter and spring.
Neat. I’ll take it.
Therefore ICEBREAKER. It has nothing to do with ships, trade agreements or any kind of shipping. It’s just music.
When it comes to writing these posts, it’s segue or highway.
Happy almost February friends!
Here’s something to spice up the early year: THE GREAT FADE. You’ll get the title, if you press play button while wearing headphones, and sit quietly for about 4,8333 minutes.
Not really having a winter blues here. Just the winter part, and this particular season is nasty! It’s pretty cold outside, which also means that it’s not very pleasant indoors either.
Winter pls, go away.
Anyway, until next time!
Hi!
Here’s something for the december, something that has absolutely nothing to do with X-mas. I’m sure you’ve got chocolate, reindeers & Mariah Carey coming out of your ears already.
So, SKIP HOP. It’s pop.
Anyway, where ever you are, you have a jolly end of the year celebrational season, with everything good that comes with it!
See you in 2026!
Well you gotta have a Halloween update. Yezzir!
80s CHILLS II sounds exactly what it sounds like in written form. It’s simple, LoFi & a lot of synthesized fun.
The biggest influence on this one was probably the famous film guy / musician John C. You know, his minimalistic synth stuff that creates a wonderfully scary, mood over matter-atmosphere.
And no, I wasn’t talking about John C. Reilly, although the latest Sherrie Holmes-flick was pretty terrifying piece of art.
That’s about it. Happy Halloween everyone!
And then some more of those that have a very specific dedication. Also, it’s orchestral.
First I thought I’d give this one a very, very competitive title. Like “Yay, a Winner is You” or “For Gold Earners Glory”, you know, something olympic & huge. Then I realised that, it’s not really the thing I enjoy. I like friendly games, where the game itself is the goal, not the… goal?
“If winning is not important, then, commander – why keep score?”
“Shut up.”
For Canada’s second national sport: FOR THOSE WHO ENJOY CROKINOLE.
Yo!
I thought I’d upload something, while waiting for the washing machine to finish. So, here you go:
… or hang on. Gotta pick which one first… BARON MASON, yeah, that’s it. It’s electrifying.
Now you have some nice autumn times there, human.
TL;DR:
There will be no more regular updates on kongano.com starting next week. From now on, I’ll update the site whenever I feel like it.
Too short, will read:
Well, that’s really the necessary information. I’ve been doing this for over ten years, and I really need a break. Big break. I also desperately need more free time to focus on other things, and that’s really the main reason behind this decision. When it comes to the future updates… I don’t know, man. I have a few tunes on reserve, I might upload them later. I may produce more stuff, or not. Only time will tell.
For the ever-changing times: WEATHERVANE.
Live long & prosper,

“Ok, Gotta do this one fast. I’m in a terrible hurry.”
“It’s summer & break. Why you are in a hurry? Where are you heading?”
“To write.”
Manhattan window cleaner knows how to deal with heights. Kindergarten teacher knows how lovely & cute kids really are. Ice hockey player knows what it really smells like in the locker room. Hacker knows hacking & Slash all about slashing. Jon Snow knows nothing.
Terry knows butchery, Anne archery and Alice how to make them barrels. Belgians know chocolate when the taste it. Everyone who has ever played crokinole know, that it’s the best game ever. Tomorrow Never Knows… or actually now that I think about it… sometimes it just might!
Everyone who’s ever played the guitar knows about HIDDEN PICK RATTLE.
Nuff said.
So, the other day I was doing some translating. I wrote a word in finnish in 6ugle translate – I can’t remember the word and that’s not important – in the hopes of finding a nifty song title in english. Before I could see the result, the app changed the source language from finnish to corsican! (Which I didn’t even know was a language!)
Ok – I said to the machine – you wanna play rough. Well, two can play that game… rough.
Then I set the song title to be CORSICAN.
The tune itself is some kind of piano/chill/pop type of stuff, and has absolutely nothing corsican in it. I couldn’t have, because I know nothing about that beautiful & rocky island. Well, except that the french fellow – the short one – was corsican. And oh, of course I’ve read the foreword of Asterix in Corsica, which is the reason I’m now gonna shut my big, fat mouth.
