It’s a beautiful process, the recording of a new It’s a beautiful process, the recording of a new album. Sometimes I wonder about the origins of these ideas, these musical creations. Actually I know where they originate from, but this “knowing” would loose everything when it gets put into tiny little letters that form words that mean something different for every human that speaks that language that is based on the cultural norms of that particular time in history. Way too limiting... I keep on knowing then.

Writing music is a world of its own. Playing music Writing music is a world of its own.
Playing music is a world of its own.
Recording music is a world of its own.
Producing music is a world of its own.
Mixing music is a world of its own.

🌀 I create a multiverse of music.
And soon I’m going to birth a new musical star.

We, my piano and me, are creating beautiful tunes out of nothing. Where do ideas come from anyway...? Making an album is a process - one which involves a lot of listening, and every string inside my piano tells a story of its own, wanting to be captured.

This year beautifully showed me the spectrum of my This year beautifully showed me the spectrum of my emotions. Isn’t it marvellous to feel? I sure know the opposite, and despite all the ups and downs this year, I am more than happy to feel it all.
I am in the midst of recording a new album. The last one, MAYA, came out in 2017. A lot has changed since then and „a lot“ could fill more than one album, but life moves on and all that remains are the snapshots in time, my songs, like musical photographs.
This year I released Triad, Death Is My Lover, There Will Be Blood and Die Gedanken. Not only is the making of a musical piece a snapshot in time, but also the release of it. It all comes together - an ever flowing process. And I encourage everyone to create and release, and to do it all over again.

“ If you would indeed behold the spirit of death “ If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.
 For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
 And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides...”
Kahlil Gibran
These past few weeks and months have been a challenge. And although I rejoice in a good challenge, this one I didn’t accept, but had to in the end. I was watching over my dying father, and although I was sad at heart, I am grateful for the lessons. He ultimately taught me what it means to have a body, and what it means to leave a body.
It is not the first time and it won’t be the last time that I question life and its purpose. But those moments truly remind me that the true meaning of life is found in the pursuit of pure love.

Slowly transcending. They say that when the season Slowly transcending.
They say that when the seasons change, you are able to perceive what lies beyond.
Let’s celebrate the limits of our perception, honouring them, thanking them for every thing they gifted us, but then move on, slowly progressing, slowly transcending.

Transitions. Best perceived by the cyclical nature Transitions.
Best perceived by the cyclical nature of nature.
And we humans, after all, are nature, too, thus cyclical, though we seem to love the concept of linearity. But then again, we are not that intelligent, though we seem to come with brilliant ideas, we are a species that destroys its home, poisons its foods, and kills each other from a place of vengeance and logical calculus.
I’ve read that mushrooms are the most intelligent species on earth. I will spend more time with mushrooms from now on, will you join me?

„What was said to the rose that made it open...“

I would sing to the rose bud to gently ask it to open, to encourage it to blossom. Going for a walk takes ages these days because the roses‘ scent keeps me enchanted, like Odysseus and the sirens, like the pungi and the snake.

In my •Moon Mail• I muse on all different kind In my •Moon Mail• I muse on all different kind of things, but they’re always in synch with the moon. This Sunday we have a Full Moon 🌕 and if you’ve signed up, you’ll receive the next Moon Mail from me.
In the meanwhile, you can listen to my latest „My Year in Poem“ on YouTube. It’s by Sara Teasdale:

~ Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly ~

She beautifully depicts the insignificance of humans.

‘My Year in Poems’ is a series I started a whi ‘My Year in Poems’ is a series I started a while ago, setting poems to music. Every poem has its own rhythm, a soul, a tune that just needs to get caught.

Poem No. 5 is ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ by Sara Teasdale. Published in 1918. For me it is about the insignificance of humans.

Listen and watch on my YouTube channel. Link in bio. I have a playlist with all (My Year In) Poems, as well as the series My Year In Folk Songs and My Year in Piano. 🥀

Poppy is a creature whose colour radiates so intensely that I have a hard time even looking at it. It is too red, it hurts my eyes. But together with the blue of the cornflower and the green of the barley field, they sing the tune of summer. ✨

My mind meanders around words to translate “Die Gedanken” for you (thank you (!) all for the lovely messages!🤍). The summer breeze hasn’t brought the fitting equivalent into my ears yet. But I will share it as soon as possible. And for those who asked, my friend Lille Gruber of Defeated Sanity (@defeated_sanity_official) played drums on it.

“Zero Is where the real fun starts. There’s “Zero 
Is where the real fun starts. 
There’s too much counting
Everywhere else.” Every day, every moment carries the possibility of change. When I think about Hafiz’ Zero, I think of (at least) two options:

No.1: Finding inspiration in silence, enjoying a blank space as a chance for creation. 
No.2:  Being destructive, needing a blank space to begin anew, destroying everything. 
Wherever you’re at, do it passionately! 🥀

There’s a full moon this Friday!
