Initiation reflects the search and transformation of light in all senses. Initiation usually is a term used in a spiritual context. As a seeker of archaic human behaviour, Initiation means also beeing part of a new group, beeing part of a new generation of people. Thats it: history is written now by us. Lets write it as we want. 

This Album is 100%  improvised music, so it will never come back or be the same like the wind or the rain.  Its a one take session with no prereccorded stuff almost completely vocal music. From the conceptual point of view, i feel deeply connected to indian classical music, remaining in one key for a long time - and it makes sense. 

The Album was recorded in May 2017 in Valle Libera/Umbria.  Valle Libera played an important role in my life. It was the place where my son grew up the first year after he was born, the place where i spent almost 2 years beeing surrounded by lovely people and an amazing natural enviroment, but not beeing surrounded by musicians. No Problem: Nature is Music. And!! I started Live Looping there in 2013.

ArYstan (b. 1983, Greifswald, Germany) is a musician, composer and DJ. He is a poli-instrumentalist, specializing in the trumpet, percussion and vocals, including beatboxing. 
He began playing the trumpet at an early age, and during his teenage years became interested in deejaying and beats production. After high school, ArYstan moved to Madrid—a city that had a strong influence on his musical evolution. In 2005, he returned to Germany to study the Jazz trumpet as student of  performers like Till Brönner and Malte Burba at the Carl Maria von Weber Conservatory in Dresden.

Since then, he has travelled extensively throughout Spain, Italy, Morocco and India, perform and experience various musical genres, all of which have shaped his musical style. He is most influenced by Jazz, Hip Hop, Latin, Afrobeat, Balcan, Flamenco, World Music, Gnawa, Ambient and Electronic Music. 

He started incorporating “live looping” (real-time recording and playback of music) into his performances in 2009. His solo project “ArYstan” evolved from this experimentation—a symbiotic mix of all the sounds, instruments and styles that have influenced his musical journey. He has performed at several music festivals and has been featured on recording productions all over the world. Aside from his solo projects, ArYstan is an active member of the intercultural music collective, “Banda Internationale.”
