A brave pilot is taking his spaceship on a ride through the solar system. He's on an urgent mission and has to take the route through the asteroid field to be on time. On the way through the field more and more asteroids show up. Our hero has to demonstrate all of his piloting skills to make it through, which he eventually does. Leaving the field behind, he can finally relax and take a deep breath.

Orbit to Nowhere

Among the Asteroids

We're on a journey to a star several light years away. Our advanced propulsion allows us to travel faster than the speed of light, so it will only take us a few weeks to get there. But every now and then we have to slow down to let the engine recharge and prevent it from overheating.

Light Years Away

The probe is approaching its destination. The super massive black hole in the center of the galaxy is near. The probe sends pictures and valuable scientific data back to the command station. In the end the probe passes the event horizon where time slows down to an irrevocable halt in the unknown.

Event Horizon

A pilot goes on a mission, leaving his home planet behind. His ship has passed the outer atmosphere of the planet and is taking up speed. The pilot looks back to what once was his home, knowing he will never see it again. His mission will take him far away from his home, never to return. The choice he's made will haunt him on his journey and leave him forever in doubt whether the decision was right or wrong.

Forever in Doubt

After millions of years, the stardust from the preceding supernova has formed a rotating disk once more. Soon gravity will form planets and a new star for the cycle to begin anew.

Stardust

Myriads of planets orbit their stars and the stars themselves travel on their seemingly endless orbits around the center of the galaxy, one turn after another, again and again. Galaxies on their part, millions and billions of lightyears apart, drift away from each other even further at ever increasing speeds. Life flourishes on some planets and then withers. And in one of those countless galaxies, on a planet so small to be unnoticable from afar, we humans live and ask ourselves: "Why are we here? What is the meaning of all this?" But there is no meaning as far as we can judge. There is but absence of purpose.

Absence of Purpose

Absence Of Purpose

The deadly pulsar spins around its axis at an incredible speed. In this deadly dance the star emits radiance that deprives the surrounding planets of any life that may have existed there. And despite its lethal breath, the star is an amazingly beautiful sight to behold.

This track is dedicated to my beloved daughter Leana. 

 After a grand voyage at close to light speed the explorer pilot returns from yearlong travel. Having slowed down he passes the planets of his home solar system. The sight fills him with a mix of sweet anticipation and bitter regret at the same time. He is eager to set foot on earth again yet he's aware that this will be a whole different world from when he left.

Homecoming

An alien race has gained dominion over mankind. Men are intimidated and fear they will be oppressed. Gradually however humans realize that the alien beings are actually benevolent. Soon mankind starts to thrive in a peaceful coexistence with the alien race.

Alien Reign

The beacon floats lonely in space. It fulfills its purpose by sending out strong radio signals and thereby aiding spacecrafts to navigate. This high tech instrument is invaluable for pilots passing by.

Beacon

This track is dedicated to my beloved wife Isabel.

When we go outside at night and the sky is clear we marvel at the stars. These seemingly tiny glittering dots capture our imagination and we picture to ourselves these distant stars with their worlds and what they may look like. Places so far we may never reach them. Might it be there is life on planets circling these distant stars? Might it be there are creatures there asking the same questions to the stars as we?

My dear Isa, you are the love of my life and the brightest star on my firmament that guides me on my journey through life. You care for our kids when they wake up at night after having a bad dream. You comfort them and make them feel secure so they may sleep again while the stars are shining on the nightly sky. I can't ever thank you enough for who you are and what you do. The world is a better place because of you!

Starry Night

The never ending fascination for the universe is the driver behind my music. I want to build an atmosphere of vast space for the listener to dive into a mix of deep relaxation and true excitement. I'm most inspired by Jon Hallur.

In June 2017 my track Pulsar was reviewed on Huffington Post. A great success for me to get that kind of spotlight. Check out the single review there by Randy Radic. Moreover, there's an article about this track on Your EDM. There are more reviews of Pulsar on Tattoo.com, Brutal Resonance, Ellen Wood EP, Middle Tennessee Music, Global Dance Electronic and UnderThePress.
