Thank you for this lovely recording, dear Paul, and happy new year 2019 to you!

how lovely, wishing you all the best for the New Year Paul.....

Legacy Broken is a cinematic orchestral concept album that explores the psychological weight of legacy, family, and emotional silence. Blending restrained elegance with hypnotic minimalism, each track unfolds like a room in a haunted memory palace—echoes of conversations, legal inheritances, betrayals, and unresolved grief.

Muted strings, fractured piano motifs, trembling horns, and emotionally conflicted harmonic structures form a sonic language of unspoken tension and decaying tradition. The arrangements resist resolution, allowing silence, repetition, and space to carry as much meaning as melody.

This album is not just a score — it’s a portrait of inheritance, power, and the long shadows of memory. The finale song "Inheritance of Silence" concludes with a vocalized song about empty love, wealth and social responsibility.

Changing Seasons [Solo Piano]

In the last few months haven't we all felt like we're on a fairground carousel? In lockdown, out of lockdown, R number lower, R number higher, can travel, can't travel?

Revolving [Solo Piano]

I'm a hobby-pianist, who made in '06 -at 60- a re-start after almost five decades of piano-silence. My preferences go to Friedrich Kuhlau for the classical sound, and to the work of Stephan Beneking being one of the leading present-day romantic composers. Thank you for listening. 
(Dear listeners, june 25th 2022, my dad, Paul, has lost his battle against cancer. Thanks to his recordings, he will always be among us. Please, keep sharing, listening and playing.  His daughter, Katrin)
