Hey!
This is a live recording of a gig I had on the 30th of July at this years ZMF, Freiburg. It's a cover version of Regina Spektors insanely good song "Apres Moi" from the album Fidelity. I love this song so much, I learned it in piano lessons and I am playing it every time I sit at the piano to rehearse. 
I fucked it up a little bit, for I was really nervous playing it, for this was my debut playing it live on stage, but no apologies! I was also a little sick, so this is why my voice was gone nearly at the end of the song :D

I am also singing in german, one part of the song, the part where regina sings russian. A friend of mine translated me the passage into english, I translated it into german, so this is the very first english/russian/german version of "Apres Moi", so far I havent found another one :)

I hope you enjoy it. 
It's long.

Speak Easy

Our fifth episode of Reversal of the Muse is Laura’s conversation with Olga FitzRoy, who was recently crowned Recording Engineer of the Year 2016 at the MPG awards. Following her Music and Sound Recording degree, Olga trained as an engineer and mixer in the renowned AIR Studios in London, where she’s worked on chart-topping records for Coldplay, The Foo Fighters and Muse. She also assisted Sir George Martin on the last ever Beatles recording for the 2006 album, Love, as well as working with top film composers such as Hans Zimmer.

Laura and Olga are both well accustomed to the long working hours of the studio. Together they discuss whether women are able to meet the demands of working in a studio and still have children, or if the two are mutually exclusive which has consequently lead to the male dominated environment. Laura also notes that women scientifically hear differently to men, which sparks the question: Have we been creating records for the male ear, as most of our studio mixers are male? Olga and Laura consider if we’re missing a feminine part to everything behind music and the way it’s created.

For our sixth Reversal of the Muse podcast, Laura is in Nashville talking to Pamela Cole, co-owner of ‘Fanny’s House Of Music’. Pamela and her co-founder Leigh Maples,   wanted a guitar shop that was comfortable for everyone, having found that music stores tended to be focused on a male demographic. Therefore Fanny’s unique motto, is to serve those who are typically left out of that experience, and is one of the only guitar shops in the world aimed at female guitarists.

Laura is now a repeat customer of Pamela’s, and together they chat about how they’ve experienced misconceptions and pre-judgement in other guitar shops, as women are often assumed to be beginner guitarists or looking on behalf of a man. Laura and Pamela also think about the process of women learning from other women, and if there’s a difference in the way that women teach. Fanny’s welcomes and inspires both extroverts and introverts, as Pamela and Laura believe it’s important to encourage all female guitarists and nurture their musical talent and expression.

In our seventh Reversal of the Muse podcast, Laura is joined by fellow musician and friend Marika Hackman. Marika’s beautiful debut album, ‘We Slept At Last’, was released in 2014. She has since joined sold out tours with alt-J, The 1975 and of course, Laura.

In this episode, Laura and Marika recall their early experiences of being on tour, and how they adapted to the dynamic of male-dominated tour buses. Like Laura, Marika would be intrigued to record in a studio run by women, as it’d be interesting to see whether an artist would feel less pressure to perform and be more inclined to share ideas. Laura and Marika also discuss the contradiction of many female artists today, by the way they’re sexualised by the media but also presented as strong and independent.

For our eighth instalment of Reversal of the Muse, Laura is joined by singer songwriter Karen Elson and musician/producer Jonathan Wilson. Karen started her career as a successful high-fashion model, and then went on to release her excellent debut album ‘The Ghost Who Walks’ in 2010. Karen’s forthcoming second album was produced by Jonathan, and Laura also features on backing vocals.

Jonathan starts by talking about his experience of working with women in the studio, and if there’s a difference in the male approach. After working with Jonathan, Karen and Laura share how they trust and admire his sensitivity to the creative process, and together wonder if women will become more integrated into the mechanical world of the studio - perhaps it’s already happening. Karen also recalls the struggles she’s faced, especially at the genesis of her music career, through feeling objectified by men in the industry as if she’s a commodity. She highlights the importance of having the right team of people around an artist, whether that be men or women.

For our ninth Reversal Of The Muse episode, Laura is joined by fantastic London-based singer-songwriter and producer Shura. After releasing singles ‘2Shy’, ‘Touch’ and ‘What’s It Gonna Be?’ to a glowing reception, July 2016 brought Shura’s debut album ‘Nothing’s Real’. For the second part of their conversation, Laura and Shura are joined by previous Reversal Of The Muse guest and friend, Marika Hackman.

Laura recorded this podcast just after ’Nothing’s Real’ was released, and Shura explains she made a conscious effort to construct her album cohesively, with the aspiration to create records in the way she consumes them: listening in their entirety from start to finish. However, Laura and Shura share the same difficulty when they’re in the midst of making records and travelling, as they find themselves detached from listening to other music which inspires them. As Marika joins the conversation, the trio discuss how Marika’s early presentation in the media emphasises a problem many female musicians encounter: journalists can focus on everything but the great music they produce.

The North Water

Hi! For english version please see below!

Für Mary Jane Insane, eine Singer/Songwriterin aus Süddeutschland, bedeutet Musik Selbsttherarpie.
So steht sie singend, flüsternd, schreiend und lachend auf der Bühne und rollt sich nicht auf einem freud'schen Sofa zusammen.
Welch Glück für uns.
Wie würden wir sonst teilhaben können, an einem Universum, das angefüllt ist mit monsterhaften Begegnungen, einer Liebschaft zu New York,
chaotischen Autofahrten, fünfundachtzig Tagen ohne Schlaf sowie die Frage, ob man mit selbst aufgenommenen Mixtapes die Welt retten kann.
Und wenn wir ihre Finger auf den Gitarrensaiten erzählen hören, ihre Stimme in die Luft malen sehen, dann spüren wir, dass Wahnsinn
nur eine Sache der Perspektive ist.

Im Februar 2014 veröffentlichte sie endlich ihre erste EP. Aufgenommen im August 2013 und gestaltet, gedruckt, bestempelt, gebrannt bis zu diesem Tag. DIY also ;)
