Special Thanks

My heartfelt thanks go to my wonderful wife Nicole, and to the eleven amazing musicians and friends who took the time to listen to my new track and share their honest feedback:

Donna Dior, Michele Ansani, Jens Sieckmann, Andronix, Axel Menningen, Janne Hennie,  Beats by Luke, Neowakan (Aileen Asatouri), Stefan Kraft, Anastasya Ihnatovich, and Siamak Sarmadian.

Your support, thoughts, and recommendations mean so much to me and truly help me grow as an artist. Without such an inspiring community, this journey would not be the same. I deeply appreciate your openness and encouragement.

Yearning is a sorrowful and deeply melancholic piece that takes the listener on a journey of longing and inner conflict. The track unfolds slowly, carrying moments of pain and hope, and gradually builds into a powerful, epic finale.
It is music that makes emotions tangible – between darkness and light, silence and monumental grandeur.

Yearning ist ein wehmütiges und zutiefst melancholisches Werk, das den Hörer auf eine Reise voller Sehnsucht und innerer Zerrissenheit führt. Der Track entfaltet sich langsam, trägt die leisen Momente von Schmerz und Hoffnung in sich und steigert sich Schritt für Schritt zu einem kraftvollen, epischen Finale.
Es ist Musik, die Emotionen spürbar macht – zwischen Dunkelheit und Licht, Stille und gewaltiger Größe.

Note: This track was entirely composed, performed, arranged, and produced by myself – without the use of artificial intelligence.
Creating authentic music with real emotion and personality is important to me. Thank you for listening and for your support.

Chasing

The beginning of one of my guitar lessons at Matteo's Room with some training in phrasing and harmonics. Music is like a language - we just have to train a little to get more comfortable in unsing it...

lesson - Matteo Ridolfini

I was looking at old photos of a town gathering in the 1800s for a lynching. I was struck at the carnival atmosphere, the presence of all kinds of people, women and children. This is disturbing but very real and it is NOT confined to America,the South but instead is a sad global problem with religions and "God". Too often I think religions are excuses to commit some of the most awful  human atrocities . Religions,like leader cults(nazis/emperorsetc), seem to blind masses into justifying the slaughter  of the enemy of the day. God in most religions preached tolerance/forgiveness/inclusion and yet these fundamental principles are conveniently forgotten when it comes time to fulfill some self serving goal, monetary/territorial or ego. I wish I knew why

lyrics
glowing yellow sun
clear bright blue sky
leaves are dancing in the wind

sherriff and the barber
the doctor and the lawyer 
all the townspeople are there

just to meet and greet
and to chat about
the news and their hopes and fears

The children all are there
dressed up in their best
blue eyes and many happy smiles

then the time arrives
the crowd all turn their head
they march the black man to the tree

a noose slips round his neck
they pull him up on high
so his legs can swing free

there's heard a horrible crack
that splits the morning air
the children look up and they stare
as his legs they shake
and his body quivers
until he hangs there still and limp

then the children turn around and finish up their games 
on this bright and sunny day

now it's time to go
they hear the parents say
off to church to learn to pray

"praise God??really??

praise God??what are you thinking?

Landscape before the storm.
