“Somehow this music echoes the insight that events in life are often irreversible.”
In times of lockdown I had the immense pleasure to go experimental in a duo project with my mentor and friend Uli Rennert. In the special context of the pandemic we aimed to leave our well-known Jazz territory for a while and find honest musical expression of our feelings and thoughts at that time.
MOONRISE - A daring border-crossing between styles and aesthetics. A 9-voice choral accompanying freely floating piano improvisation based on an old protestant evening song. Music for stargazers.
What does HOME feel like to you? A cinematic approach to emotional storytelling.
Uli, „master of keys“ (Kleine Zeitung), deconstructing my previous track MOONRISE. Lustful and beautiful.
This is FOR U.
“I get emotional about music a lot. But this speaks to me like seldomly a piece of art does; my soul truly feels at HOME. Please, go and check out this beautiful album and dive into a world close to heart but from another universe.”
