Broken

And go past the forest 
where you can slowly wake up
or you can take your time 
and let the seasons catch up
slip off your shoes 
and feel the earth 
your ears will start to ring
and life will sing.

You've just got to swing past the 
forest 
where colours can blind you 
and everything finds you 
it can drive you insane 

You've got to slow down now
or you'll grow cold.
Leap past the flowers that sleep,
The hours that spring those old 
Shadows confuse you 
and the silence is loud 
your're reaching for the light
your're losing sight 

You've just got to swing past the
forest
where colours can blind you 
and everything finds you 
it can drive you insane

and go past the forest 
where you can slowly wake up

The Factory "Path Through the Forest" 1968

William Mendedelbaum is a pianist who despite his young age is very present on the scene of Reunion.

He began playing the piano at the age of 12 and discovered a real passion for this instrument. He studies only current music.

A few years later, around the age of 16, he started playing in bars and making himself known. Wishing then professionalize, he enters the professional training of the School of Contemporary Music "EMA Reunion", to follow the curriculum of Musician Interpreter of the Current Music (M.I.M.A.). During his training, he deepens MA, and especially the jazz he particularly likes.

Off-road pianist, he can play with many formations and musicians in Reunion of all styles ("Kafmaron", "Sitrongalé", "Quartet l'Essaim", "Jade", "Captain", "Prof Jah Pin Pin", "Maesh Vingataredy", "Guillaume Robert" ,"Prof Jah Pinpin" "David Adelson", "Loic Simon", "Klowdy" .... to name a few).

For more than 3 years, William is a resident of "Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra" and was in many places (Choka bleu, Studio 32, Hemisphere, Cherry, Bistro, Kerveguen, Univert, .....). With more than 250 concerts to his credit, William Mendelbaum is part of the new generation jazz.

In solo concert, he offers compositions and covers, arranged in his own way. A jazz pianist, he is moving towards modern jazz, to which he adds many influences (world / klezmer / gnawa ....). Groove and improvisation are very present in his game, as it is a grain of madness that makes his game unique. Open to a varied palette, it is not limited to a color ...!

Its originality distinguishes it from others. One feels inhabited by music: when he plays the piano, it is for him a real means of expression and exchange.

He is currently preparing a solo piano, full of surprises and origins.

Deutscher Singer-Songwriter über fünfzig Jahre alt. Seit fast vierzig Jahren schreibe und singe ich Lieder. Mein Hauptinstrument ist die akustische Gitarre, aber ich mag auch Perkussionsinstrumente (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). Ich liebe es, melancholische und poetische Balladen zu komponieren. Aber manchmal schreibe ich auch (schwarze) humorvolle Songs, Jazzstyle und -Rocksongs. Meine Hauptsprache ist Deutsch. Aber in Zukunft will ich mehr Songs auf Englisch und vereinzelt auch Französisch schreiben.
In meinen Kompositionen bin ich inspiriert von Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison und Bob Dylan. Auf meinen Platten spiele und singe ich alles alleine. Meine Vision für die Zukunft ist es, Musiker aus verschiedenen Kulturen zu finden, die gerne ihre Tracks mit mir teilen wollen.
Mein persönliches Mantra ist ein Satz, der von Paul Mccartney auf dem Beatles-Album "Abbey Road auf dem Track "In the end" vor fast Fünfzig Jahren geschrieben wurde:

Die Liebe, die Du bekommst ist gleich der Liebe, die Du gibst.

German singer-songwriter over fifty years old. For almost forty years I have been writing and singing songs. My main instrument is the acoustic guitar, but I also like percussion instruments (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). I love composing melancholic and poetic ballads. But sometimes I also write (black) humorous songs, jazz style and rock songs. My main language is German. But in the future I want to write more songs in English and occasionally also in French.
In my compositions I am inspired by Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. On my records I play and sing all by myself. My vision for the future is to find musicians from different cultures who would like to share their tracks with me.
My personal mantra is a sentence written by Paul Mccartney on the Beatles album "Abbey Road on the track "In the end" almost fifty years ago:

The love you take is equal to the love you make.

singer songwriter dabbling in garageband/creating learning having fun (also some raw acoustic recordings)


Our Father who art in heaven, 
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come. 
Thy will be done 
On earth as it is in heaven. 
Give us this day our daily bread, 
And forgive us our trespasses, 
As we forgive those who trespass against us, 
And lead us not into temptation, 
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, 
Forever and ever.

Brand new album, 'Mythologies' out now! CD available here: https://www.hoanzl.at/mythologies.html

'Baudelairean flights through dimly lit urban landscapes 'round midnight... Ballads alluding to Ovid, Homer and Solomon... Lovers wrapt in the sultry bliss of a sunny summer morn... Wine, witchcraft, temptation… The quest for voices to trust amidst a world corrupt… These themes and motifs all weave into Herald K's oeuvre… Come in and eavesdrop...'
