On the day of the winter solstice, Hekske (the little witch) had a vivid dream about her friends the wolves of the Gugu Peak, the enigmatic mountain in the Godeanu ridge which mysteriously disappears every now and then. She looked at Falke (the 10 year old witch apprentice) who was still sleeping underneath their cozy moss blanket … and smiling while sleeping. A few minutes later Falke woke up and enthusiastically told Hekske that she had a vivid dream about their friends the wolves of the Gugu Peak. Now that was strange. And the next nights it became even stranger as the witches kept on dreaming about the Carpathian wolves, every night in a different location and every night a bit closer to the witch’s forest, leaving Transylvania and passing by lake Balaton before crossing the snowy peaks of the Styrian Alps. Night after night, their collective dream became more and more vivid while Hekske and Falke snuggled close to each other under the warm moss blanket in the rainy and soggy winter forest. After passing through the Black Forest and crossing the River Rhine, the wolves ran day and night until they finally reached the Dender river, which they followed downstream while enduring the lashing rains and gale force winds. The normally gentle flow of the Dender river had transformed into a wild torrent which had flooded the entire valley.
That morning Hekske and Falke woke up very early as they sensed that their friends were now really close by. And just before sunrise, the girls heard the all-pervading howl of a wolf in the distance. The elated witches ran through the mud of the soggy woods, and encountered the wolves at the edge of the beech forest. They gave a long fluffy hug to all the ebullient wolves. When the initial euphoria had abated, the girls noticed how thin and emaciated the wolves were. They hadn’t eaten for a whole week. 
Hekske and Falke took the wolves straight to the nymph’s pond, where they all took a bath in the frigid water. Despite the cold, the water was really pleasant and they stayed for a really long time in the pool, playing with each other all the time. They hadn’t even noticed that meanwhile the rain had stopped. Finally, they decided to get out of the water. The winter sun had broken through the clouds and the witches and wolves dried their bodies in the soft sunlight. Miraculously, the wolves suddenly looked strong and well-fed again, and their fur was glistening and fluffy.
The Carpathians wolves stayed in the witch’s forest for over a week, while the temperatures plunged below zero and an immaculately white snow carpet covered the witch’s forest, creating an enchanted atmosphere. During the freezing cold nights, the wolves and the witches huddled together and kept each other warm. And every day, they took a collective bath in the nymph’s pond and every time the wolves came out of the water stronger and fiercer than the day before.
Finally, the wolves were strong enough and time had come to return to the Carpathians. Hekske and Falke gave one last hug to all their fluffy friends, promising to visit them back in Dacia next summer, on the slopes of the enigmatic Gugu Peak which mysteriously disappears every now and then …

FRUITCAST #84 I Sia Moan I Ein Knistern geht durch's Feigenwäldchen

A warm, breathing mix from Leipzig’s Moosen — where earthy rhythms meet the pulse of something ancient and alive.
Basslines bloom like roots in fertile soil, while shimmering textures dance across the surface of still waters.
The tempo rises like sunlight through morning mist, unfolding gently, then with intention.
A sensual journey between ground and sky, where sound speaks in soft, wordless waves.
