Dies ist die erste Episode aus der EP "Die Geschichte von Krankenschwester Hildegard". Die folgende Serie heißt "Helden der Arbeit". Jede EP besteht aus 3 Songs zu einem Beruf. Die deutschen Songtexte sind eigentlich kurze Gedichte von Horst Grabosch, die humorvoll die Arbeit in verschiedenen Berufen würdigen. Die Musik ist extrem eklektisch und ist aus vielen Musikstilen zusammengestzt.

Die Geschichte von Krankenschwester Hildegard

Maurer Klaus hat Schmerzen

Hints or Arabic rhythms mixed with traditional singer-songwriter, introduce Frank’s first single from his coming 3rd album and his 22nd release in just over 2 years.  Again we see his trademark top notch production, warm vocals and insightful lyrics making their mark. Frank’s main strength is surely his song-writing, which underpins the whole project and catches the attention of reviewers. 
“one of the best singer-songwriters today.” 
“A timeless universe of melodic pop" 
“as eclectic as it is ecstatic” 

The lyric delves into the gap between first blush and commitment in a new romance.  The fear and hope that collides within us as we tentatively explore someone else's feelings and compare them to our own. The unease of new love in a world where 'catching feelings' is seen as a bad thing.

Five Funnymals Fighting For Freedom

In this piece the newly invented string instruments are playing in combination with flute, soprano voice and piano. The strings are being stretched between the beams of the mezzanine of the building and also hanging from the ceiling beams with heavy weights on them. The hanging strings surround the audience and musicians. A very special building HET VEEM (Van Diemenstraat 410, 1013 CR Amsterdam) - former warehouse, where the piece was premiered, inspired us to create these instruments and this composition. The concert was performed as a part of Toetsdestijds Concerten Series.

This piece has been written especially for the final bachelor exam of Petri Arvo who is an amazing recorder player from Finland. The patch for this piece has been created by Felipe Ignacio Noriega mexican composer currently based in Amsterdam. This is the recording from Petri's final exam. This title combines dedication to Petri whose amazing performance  inspired me and Felipe to write this piece and the ensemble setting, which is a trio.
