The Antarez Project
I recently published two songs on all music streaming platforms under the band name “THE ANTAREZ PROJECT” (in honour of my last band). “Silver Dawn” is a metal ballad that I wrote ages ago – and has now come back in a new dress. “Scorched Lands” is an epic instrumental piece created to be used as a film score. Below is a taste of “Silver Dawn” and “Scorched Lands”.

It’s been quite some time in the making but I’m finally ready to publish the first nine conversation topics in this preliminary format. I still haven’t decided on the final version but for now these can be downloaded and used in English conversation classes.
The basic idea of these worksheets is to gradually expand topic-specific productive vocabulary (see: MY WORD LIST). I have limited the word list for now to 10 nouns/page not to overwhelm students. The photos should help get a conversation going and the text and further questions at the bottom of the page could lead to more in-depth dialogue on the topic.
I’m open and very interested in any comments you may like to share.. They will help me refine the format, the contents and further expansion of this idea such as additional audio, video, worksheets, etc. At present there are many more general topics in the making which then can be found on this page in the near future.
And here are the downloadable PDFs:

Local heroes
In 1982, FAT FREDDY’S TIME GENERATOR and three other local bands of Canton Ticino (Southern Switzerland) produced an album titled TICINO MUSICA Vol. 2 as part of a trilogy to showcase young aspiring bands of that region. I’m extremely pleased to see that after 42 years, ALESSANDRO ZANOLI of RSI (Radiotelevisione Svizzera Italiana) has revisited that period and produced a podcast series to bring to life a time when local musicians and bands had few opportunities to show off their talents let alone immortalise them on records. As guitarist of Fat Freddy’s Time Generator I’m proud to have been part of that. To listen to the podcasts go to https://rsi.ch/s/2083641 (in Italian)
EFLB “Toro”
A sketch folder published by the German architect and artist Ernst Friedrich Brockmann (1920-1987) in 1962. Frequent visits to the Spanish region of Andalusia and a passion for bull fights brought forth this extraordinary collection of artwork. The folder was produced in collaboration with the art dealer Alfred Simon who also provided the preface.
