Many years ago, I lived for a year in an old medieval town in Germany called Hann. Münden. I was a little lonely, and my heart was full of stories of knights, fairies, wolves, and mythical creatures. Fortunately, I am now happy again. I took the old songs out of my Cubase library, transferred them to Bitwig DAW, and remixed and rearranged them.

[Verse]
In the darkest night
Where shadows fall
A wulf roams free
Heed not his call
He's known as Ragnar
The lonely one
Seeking solace 'neath the pale moon's sun

Hear his howl
Echoes through the land
A wild soul
On a mission grand
Through fields and forests
He roams afar
A legendary wulf
Among the stars

[Verse 2]
With eyes like fire
Burning bright and fierce
Ragnar searches
For his heart's release
In quest for love
In this world so cold
His spirit strong
A story yet untold

Ragnar the Lonely Wulf

Another song from my time in Hann. Münden. The story of the honorable blacksmith who is madly in love with the lord's daughter. Remixed and new arranged with Bitwig DAW

[Verse]
The hammer sings on the anvil's face
In a forge of warmth and timeless grace
With sparks that dance in the dim-lit glow
The blacksmith works where the embers flow

[Verse 2]
His hands are rough yet soft in care
A soul of fire with strength laid bare
Each strike a song of the iron's will
A melody forged in the evening's still

[Chorus]
Oh gentle and strong
The blacksmith's art
With every beat it mends the heart
A rhythm of life
A tune so true
The lord’s own blacksmith in skies of blue

[Verse 3]
The bellows sigh
A low
Deep hum
The rhythm echoes where he’s from
The steel takes shape
A tale unfolds
A legacy wrought in the iron's hold

[Bridge]
The moonlight watches his quiet toil
As shadows dance on the earthen soil
The forge's heat
A guiding flame
A simple man
Yet a noble name

[Verse 4]
Through storms and trials his hammer swings
Crafting tools fit for kings and kings
His heart beats steady
A steady drum
The blacksmith's strength will never succumb

The Lord's Gentle Blacksmith

“Lines I Never Sent” is a piano-led ballad about words that remain unspoken. Intimate female vocals carry the melody with quiet intensity, unfolding like a letter never mailed. Fragile and reflective, the song belongs to the upcoming BC25 album Unearthed, Pt. 2 (out November 7) — shared here as a demo version.

Barbonus is a German lyricist who treats songwriting as a form of literature. His tracks begin with words – fragments of prose, quiet observations, poetic disruptions – and build outward into minimalist soundscapes.

Instead of writing hits, Barbonus writes moments. His lyrics don’t chase hooks; they linger, reveal, suggest. Framed by gentle synths and indie-flavored textures, his work explores memory, digital disconnection, and the beauty of unfinished thoughts.

With growing attention from international blogs describing his sound as “electronica with heart” and “a softer, more introspective space,” Barbonus positions himself less as a performer and more as a narrator. A voice at the edge of the frame, crafting scenes in words before sound enters the room.

For him, music is not the message – it’s the carrier wave.
