Friends.... 

back on the piano, inspired by a wonderful vacation at the baltic sea and with some fresh music... Anmut will be the title track of the new album I am working on and planning to release in 2014. As per usual I am releasing all songs here on soundcloud before....

Thanks a lot to "Mirko Costantini" for his permission to use his awesome photo for my cover art for the upcoming album.

I saw this picture and I remembered my grandparents.
Stories and images described by the beginning of 900. 
They escaped in boats from Smyrna (Asia Minor), where until a few days before, Greeks and Turks live together peacefully.
Impossible to forget the 1,750,000 refugees, escaped from Ireland in the middle of the nineteenth century, for the great famine.

economic interests, colonialism, wars, deaths, refugees, hunger, racism.

Years go by and the story repeats itself.
Those who are well now, think to be immune to these events, but there is no country in history that has not had such dramatic events.

told an old sick to a young boy: where I am now, you will be and where are you now, I have just been.
think about it.
