Mystical flute sounds and low strings build up to a dark and suspenseful main part.

Fighting the Nightmares

E-piano sounds mixed with a simple drum beat and deep bass – imitating a steady rainfall.

Runner

A little song of praise for life in the city. However, in reality, I actually enjoy it 😉.

Lyrics:
Scherben am Boden, (Shards on the floor,)
Junkies in der Bank. (junkies in the bank.)
Überall Drogen. (Drugs everywhere.)
Ich glaub‘, ich zieh‘ aufs Land. (I think I'll move to the country.)
Morgens um acht, (At eight in the morning,)
bereits dichter Verkehr. (already heavy traffic.)
Ich sag nein zu den Drogen. (I say no to drugs.)
Kein Fleck menschenleer. (Not a single spot deserted.)

Abends um neun, (At nine in the evening,)
ich schließ‘ die Wohnung auf. (I unlock the apartment.)
Drinnen warten Gestalten, (There are people waiting inside,)
werd‘ mal wieder ausgeraubt. (I'm robbed again.)
Abends um zehn, (At ten in the evening,)
draußen die Polizei. (outside, the police.)
Das Blaulicht hält wach, (The blue light keeps me awake,)
schon wieder eine Schlägerei. (another brawl.)

Ich zieh‘ aufs Land. (I move to the country.)
Endlich ist es still. (Finally it's quiet.)
Komm‘ nur noch in die Stadt, (I'll only come to town)
wenn ich Sehnsucht fühlen will. (when I want to feel longing.)

I made a remake of my original track “Poison” – with some more atmospheric sounds and an extended outro.

Originating from ancient Greek, the word “Nostos” means homecoming. In this track I have tried to express the rather melancholy feelings that can accompany a homecoming.

Remaster of my original track “Blockade Runner” – with a lot of electronic and orchestral stuff going on.
Even if the title and the cover picture might suggest a spiritual meaning, I had more of a modern interpretation of a saviour in mind for this piece. A helping hand, powerful and empathetic, that is there when you need it.

Salvator

A small melancholic piano impro I recorded some years ago.

Remaster of my original track  “Breakwater”.
Dry throat, heavy legs: the caravan laboriously inches through a vast steppe. Suddenly, shapes become discernible in the buzzing air. A mirage? No, a real source of life – the saving oasis.

Remaster of my original track “Liquid Air”.
A tribute to air, making life at least twice as fun. Take a deep breath and enjoy the music.

Remaster of my original track “Breathless”.
After the sun has grazed the treetops, a rapid transformation takes place. The soft twilight disappears, leaving only darkness. Darkness shrouded in silence until the cycle begins again.

Vespera

Everything awakens, and life returns. Chirping and splashing fills the air: spring is here.

Spring

"Sirius" means a lot to me. It's my music for starry nights, where I tilt my head back, savor the view, and enjoy the peace. I hope this song evokes something for you too!

"Corvus" describes the long journey of a crow. Though it may simply be traveling from one place to another, to some, it serves as an omen.

Corvus

A remake of my original track "Exodus", featuring newly recorded choir vocals and added drums.

Exodus tells a story of restlessness, departure, and adventure. The journey goes on and on, and as it progresses, companions increase.

For this piece, I had a giant mirror in mind – one that not only reflects yourself but the whole world. Perhaps this is my musical take on what the world's reflection might sound like.

As always, I had a lot of fun while creating “Mirror”, especially while recording the vocals. By the way: The low tone at 0:18 is a subharmonic note – it's one of the few times I've been able to hit that note.

I hope you enjoy this journey!

Mirror

I came across the ancient Greek term "Galene," which can refer to a state of a soul filled with peace, but was also the goddess of the calm sea. In that spirit, may this piece bring you calm seas as you listen.

Galene

The days are getting wetter  – here’s some music to accompany the patter of the rain.

Remaster of my track of the same name, with a subtle sound of rain added.

Where there is shadow, there is also light – and somewhere, a piano is playing.

I love that moment on my evening walks when the light fades away – a simple, peaceful moment.

Umbra

Memoria

Soft piano and warm strings for a quiet farewell scene. For me, it’s not a sad goodbye – there’s joy in the idea of seeing each other again.

Hi, I'm Benjamin! I create music that tells stories. 

I combine orchestral and electronic elements to bring these stories to life – anchored by my instrument, the piano.

My music can be exciting, sometimes relaxing, sometimes uplifting – or sometimes all in one piece, just like stories tend to be. I hope you enjoy listening!
