- Solace -

Do you see a human child in tears,
restrained sobs in the chest,
so do not want to do it
that you must console with words.
Avoid consulting him;
Go on, but then send
the love that is in quiet deeds
to help him secretly, secretly.
If a cold sound touches the wound,
so he only hurts and does not heal her;
comfort does not dwell in the empty mouth,
he is the deepest duty of the heart.
Before a word in the right place
If the grief returns, surely
but true pain has no words
and the true solace is mute. (Karl Friedrich May )

1. What was the reason for you to interpretate "Solace"?

Music is my way of expressing the life that´s happening to me. There have always been times when it was not framing happy times but also being there for me when i needed it. With this podcast i want to musically be there with understanding, nourishing, uplifting sinewaves in the field of music that i feel at home. 

2. Which track is indicative of this feeling?

The Intro "it´s okay". In the last months i´ve often been confronted with the impermanence of life. I wrote the song in a moment of absolute gratitude and peace when i was realizing that i am connected with somebody by absolute trust and understanding. Experience this moment is worth so endlessly much and gives such deep solace to me - no matter what might happen from this moment on. 
How infinite seemingly passing things can be.
How quickly passing things can be that seem to be infinite.
These songs came to me in the last couple of years from the bottom of my soul. Through life, and love, laughter and loss, and hope, and pain, and truth, and forgiveness. And every layer in between. Music was always there and now it's here for you. To your solace, beautiful soul.

3. Why do you chose your name being MARIA RUHE?

Because it is more personal and as my music is it too i think its closer to what i am and want to express. 

4. Which plans do you have for the future?

All of my own tracks in this podcast are unreleased, so it is a next step to to that. Besides i am working on cooperations with different amazing artists. Of course i love playing - I love to take people with me into to my wild world - happliy looking forward to a lot of great gigs and festivals here in germany and abroad this year.

5. The most important thing in your life is? 

...for me is love. To learn and expand it with friends, family and all the people i meet. Also to learn from its absence and transform with it. Its my motor and what i want to give and feel.

MARIA RUHE

Gedankenklang " SOLACE " by MARIA RUHE

- El Ánimo Vago -

1. How did you come up with the idea of making "El Ánimo Vago" to your subject for an  interpretation of a GK?

It seems that there are always phases in life that feel indefinite. Everyday feelings where you do not know what they mean...the moments in everyday life in which you are neither overjoyed nor deeply saddened. At some point then reveals where these intermediate states lead and what they mean.

2. Since when do you make music and why?

When I was 15, a good friend gave me a bass guitar and said, "You're playing in our crust-punk band now!". I had no idea, and 3 weeks later we had our first concert. I absolutely did not know what I was doing and I focused on poses.
After half a year I could play the first songs. So I learned self-taught and have always enjoyed the great freedom that opened up for me there. It was nice to see how my abilities, including those of others, developed out of themselves. Even today I still firmly believe that every human being is musical. You just have to find your own access and not be put off by the reviews of others.

3. Music means to you...and did you change the view of it in recent years?

Music has always been a big mystery to me. It can reproduce and evoke states that can not be described in words. Music is an anchor in all circumstances, and it helps me to survive the turmoil of life. I would be happy, at some point in my life, to take my last breaths together with the people I love and with music.

4. You are a member of the Soundclash Crew, a small but growing collective in Fulda. What are your plans and how did you change the music scene in Fulda? How can you influence and what is important to you?

Fulda is small and pretty stubborn in the first place. When we started 2013/14, there was no alternative for us. We wanted to bring colorful sounds from all over the world, away from the mainstream, in the ears and hearts. That was very well received from the beginning and that is exactly what we want to continue. It's not important to be big and successful, but to create great, sparkling conditions with our audience that we all will not forget so quickly. The world needs that.

5. If you have something on your mind that is important to mention, now is the time!

I'm listening to the beautiful audio book "Rage is a Gift" by Arun Gandhi. It reaffirms once more how we humans can make a positive difference with our overemphasizing feelings of anger and aggression as we take them and cultivate them. They are the engine of change and I think that needs the world over and over again. Resist hatred and destruction resolutely and create a better life for all of us. Happiness is there for everyone, not just any elite. This requires each and every one of us.

We say thank you Phil and hope that we all find a way to deal with our feelings and for sure, music is a great supporter.

Gedankenklang " El Ánimo Vago " by Phil Weé

GedankenKlang

...is primarily the connection of people who have found themselves through the common passion music and love. It stands for the fusion of music and feelings. 
We are fascinated by the idea of  letting artists interpret feelings in a piece of music like love, lonliness, satisfaction, sadness, happieness and let them show what it means to them.
Charlie Chaplin once said:
"We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity; more than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost" 

...and for us ,this is the reason why we are doing this Project. We love words and emotional release, because every day is full with Poetry. We just need to open up all our senses. 
And because everyone is  feelings differently and our artists are not committed to a musical direction, everyone is free to do what he wants and that is always a surprise, like Life.

 Spread Love
