Latest project
Latest project: a cover album
The new album is the "part II collection" of songs by Luxembourgish band collective LUXUS led by chick'n.MO, aka "The Kapellmeister".
By reworking these tracks, originally designed as anti-genre experiments, studio playgrounds and joyful acts of musical disobedience, Bob applies his brew of funk/rock unorthodoxy.
Not a traditional cover album
BOB & THE LUXUS REDUX PROJECT - Pt.2, is the next slize of the "Rieslingspaschtéit" three-course meal. Once again it's not a traditional cover album, but a controlled disturbance: familiar songs behaving badly, structures wobbling, grooves misbehaving, and as a result some egos aware of the "LUXUS' Originals" might be gently but firmly shaken.
Not a tribute. Not nostalgia.
BOB & THE LUXUS REDUX PROJECT strive to remind everyone that music is not a museum, rock is not a pension plan, and that comfort has never been a creative virtue.
Consider THE LUXUS REDUX PROJECT trilogy less “paying homage” and more releasing ants into your pants. So, shake your booty!
About
Bob Sylvester is a Luxembourgish artist working since 1999 between music, sound design and cinematic expression.
He is using DAWs, samples, and recentely AI to skip the group therapy sessions traditionally known as band rehearsals or art theory discussions.
He fits somehow into a, uncategorized niche: part digital scribe, part video artist, calling himself not a musician, in the first place, prefering “audio opportunist” or “button-pusher with feelings.”
... working with artificial intelligence isn’t about replacing humans — it’s about avoiding them.
Music
Approach
The artistic approach for projects (AI-assisted music, lyric-driven songs, self-produced videos, and a non-musician identity) aim to aligne with a growing artistic scene of hybrid creators and their focus on democratizing creativity and opening doors for, day to day, artistic expression.
Vinyl & CD
Physical releases for those who still believe music deserves weight, texture and friction.
Bob & The Redux Project
Available on vinyl and CD.
A tangible version of the controlled disturbance known as
Bob & The Redux Project.
Pressed, packaged and distributed via ElasticStage.
Self-produced "cinematics", add a visual layer, just in case the music wasn’t clear enough already. Video and sound mash-ups are developed as a single expressive form.
Against Dumb Neighbours
The story behind the story
Following the regrettable, highly unofficial, and frankly disastrous release of our previous video — now archived courtesy of an unsupervised intern and an absent-minded director—management is cautiously pleased to announce that Order Has Been Restored™.
Our Esteemed Music Video Director has finally returned from his idyllic, sun-drenched sanctuary of luxury and complete disregard for professional duty. However, upon witnessing the intern’s low-budget “Sing-Along” abominations, a Crisis Meeting was immediately convened.
Heated discussions were had, executive coffeecups were shattered, and several urgent, highly hysterical phone calls were made to people who had no idea what was going on.
The conclusion? A unanimous decision to translate this human tragedy correctly onto the "silver" screen. Why?
Because probably most have shared at least once, one universal, inescapable burden: A Dumb Neighbour.
The story behind the song
The song is about, that very creature who mows the lawn at 6:00 AM on a Sunday, constructs questionable wooden structures near your fence, has opinions about hedge heights, washingg cars properly or simply exists with a deeply unsettling level of confidence. Recognizing that this subject was of critical, universal-wide urgency, our director worked tirelessly to bring you a music video that is as relatable as it is deeply alarming..
We urge you to watch & listen responsibly, check your property boundaries, and remember: if you cannot identify the dumb neighbour on your street... it is almost certainly you.
No Neighbours were physically harmed during the making of this video, though some in particular was heavily judged.
Dr Wethermarch (or: How worrying to stop love the bomb)
The story behind the story
What happens when a very small country decides to think very big?
“Dr Wethermarch (or: How worrying to stop love the bomb)” is a satirical homage to Cold War paranoia and bureaucratic absurdity, inspired by the dark humor of Stanley Kubricks' classic Dr. Strangelove.
Set in the mid-1960s, as nuclear tests echo across the globe, the military quietly pursues the ultimate symbol of power: the atomic bomb. The public says NO!. As chain of command collapses into confusion. The government debates, and the majority of the "STOP" vote prevailed. But Dr Wethermarch—the brilliant eccentric and deeply unhinged scientist behind the program (code name: Rislingspaschtéit)—has other plans. Refusing to abandon his life’s work, he goes rogue,
Hijacking a B-52 bomber along with his together with his submissive subordinates, Dr Wethermarch orders to finish in the sky what he started in his laboratory. When ambition overrides reason, a single question remains: What now ?
“Dr Wethermarch (or: How worrying to stop love the bomb)” is a dark comedy about pride, power, and the dangerously thin line between genius and madness.
The Soundtrack a "Twisted Take" on the “Hämmelsmarsch”
The story behind the song
The soundtrack features a gently twisted reinterpretation of Luxembourg's traditional "Hämmelsmarsch" — the "Sheep March". Historically performed by local brass bands on their way to the village fair, the march once proudly included real sheep in the procession. These days, the sheep have mostly retired—possibly negotiating better working conditions or launching influencer careers.
In this version, the familiar melody takes a new path. It’s still respectful, still unmistakably Luxembourgish, but with a rebellious twist, a pinch of mischief, and just enough modern flair to make the sheep (if they were still around) tap their hooves in approval.
Equal parts tribute and playful experiment, this reinterpretation honors the cultural roots of the Hämmelsmarsch while nudging it into fresh, unexpected territory. Perfect for nostalgics, cultural explorers, and anyone who’s ever thought their local parade could use a slightly unexpected soundtrack. Find "Dr Wethermarch" soundtrack on soundcloud.
Losing It In Las Vegas
The story behind the story
Greg and Bob back from their Caribbean escapades in the previous episode "Fast & Flakyious" ( • Fast & Flakyious - 4K #shortfilm #musicvideo ), expected two things: eternal bragging rights and maybe a decent nap.
What they got instead was exhaustion, and the creeping realization that even chaos can get… boring. Days passed. Then more days. The stories stopped hitting, got old, and even started to feel routine.
For two guys who not so long ago swam to tropical islands, this level of boredom was frankly unacceptable.And then - like most bad ideas - it struck them at the exact same time... LAS VEGAS!

5 Years Later (SJW Blues)
The story behind the story
When the World Ends but Your Opinions Don’t.
He used to dispense social justice — heroically, tirelessly, and almost exclusively from a very ergonomic chair. Back then, he refreshed himself every five seconds with a brand-new scandal, opinion, or moral dilemma. He tried to stay morally ahead of the curve! The curve, unfortunately, won....
Five years later, the apocalypse solved the problem. No feeds. No debates. No notifications. Just ruins, wind, and an uncomfortable amount of silence. He’s still a social justice warrior, technically... Only now the causes have changed: basic human decency — now retro stuff.
Heading North for reasons even he can’t fully explain, he wanders through a broken landscape meeting survivors who are far less interested in social justice than in staying alive. Slowly, awkwardly, reality replaces ideology..
A «road movie» about redemption, misplaced certainty, and discovering that social justice is significantly harder without people.
If you enjoy dystopian films, satirical character studies, indie cinema, and philosophical dark comedy, this story might be for you.
Fast & Flakyious
The story behind the story
Originally released as the official video for the song “Nonn Di Kass Dajee Do” by Bob & The Luxus Redux Project, that music video was supposed to be… finished.
However, after a brief meeting of the Creative Department (held in a room containing two chairs and one conflicting opinion), it was unanimously decided — by a narrow margin — that something was missing. Possibly gravitas. Possibly a final. Possibly a punchier music track...
So for gravitas we chose monochrome, a grand final was added and finally the complete music score was changed, general agreement and mutual back-patting included.
During the launch party however the Department of Unnecessarily Dramatic Improvements arrived. After several minutes of heated debate and a brief cookie break, the consequences were immediate. An official voice from somewhere "above" announced: “This clip will be upgraded to 4K - Technicolor as the Colour department refused to leave”. So it was.
Unfortunately, shortly after the Technicolor Incident, a second complication emerged regarding the end credits. A brief emergency session of the Bureau of Cinematic Accountability was convened to correct the situation. During this process, the credits were carefully updated to ensure that all responsible parties were properly acknowledged, somehow…. The revised end credits are therefore slightly the same, marginally more official, and 17% less confusing to historians studying this production in the distant future.
Viewers are encouraged to watch them closely, as they now represent the most accurate list of contributors currently approved by the Department of Retro Action Documentation, pending further investigation.
So here it is "Fast & Flakyious - 4K“ – High-Energy Instrumental Alternative Rock x Drum & Bass | Cinematic 70s Cop Show Music Video.
If you enjoy instrumental rock, hybrid electronic music, drum & bass drops, cinematic short films, or retro crime show aesthetics — this 7-minute experience should blend them all. Built on heavy live-style drums and distorted rock guitars, Fast & Flakyious collides with dubstep low-end, glitchy electronicore textures, and relentless DnB momentum. No vocals. No soft build-ups. Just controlled chaos.
Originally created as a music video, it evolved into a cinematic short film experiment, because sometimes it just needs a badge, a synth bassline, and a slightly overacted stare into the distance...
Perfect for:
• Workout playlists
• Gaming background music
• Driving at night

Sorry Dave, I Ate It – A Rieslingspaschtéit Odyssey 2026
The story behind the story
Somewhere in the vast silence of deep space, humanity makes its greatest discovery: a mysterious black shiny black monolith in the shape-of an ancient Rieslingspaschtéit.
Then, things escalate quickly…
This music video is a respectful, but scientifically questionable homage to « Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey » (1968) — except instead of mysterious monoliths and existential dread, the crew of a spacecraft listed in official records as “soft infrastructure. confronts a far more serious dilemma:
At first the mission proceeds according to plan.The astronauts float gracefully through the ship / The music plays / The computer appears calm / Then the refrigeration unit reports: “Sorry Dave… I ate it”…
What follows is a slow-burning cosmic tragedy involving:
* zero-gravity crumbs
* philosophical debates about the resistance of pâté in space
* a highly confused onboard computer
* and the irreversible consequences of bringing Luxembourgish cuisine into orbit.
Sorry Dave, I Ate It – A Rieslingspaschtéit Odyssey 2026 explores the deepest questions of human existence:
* Are we alone in the universe?
* What is consciousness?
* And why did someone use a Rieslingspaschtéit which even does not resemble to a genuine luxemburgish pâté, for this clip?
A cinematic journey through space, hunger, and questionable mission AI discipline.
