There's a light in the sky.
There's a light in your eyes.
Out of the dreaming, the world comes alive.
There's a light in the space.
There's a light in your mind.
After the dreaming, a world came alive.
Out of the darkness emerges the light.

Brought down by freak minds.
You fell by the way side.
They found out.
You were the last to know.
Sent where the wind blows.
Give me a free mind.
Keep the rest.
 I'll stay on side.
Held on to finally let it go.
The shadows only showed you toward the light.
After the dream...
You come alive.

There's a small glint of light.
In the corner of your mind.
Out of the darkness, you rose toward the light.
There was light at the start.
There is light at the heart.
Out of the dreaming emerges the light.
After the darkness is pierced by the light.

Dragged up, paid no mind.
You drifted toward the dark side.
No idea where to go.
Found out too slow.
Give me my free mind.
Forget your downsides.
Held on to finally let it go.
The darkness only guides you toward the light.
After the dream...
There comes your life.

Hold up the light.
To guide you home.

Preyed upon by strong minds.
Pressed up. 
Passed by.
When they make cuts.
You'll be the first to go.
The light from your window.
Forget your freak mind.
I'll get there in my own time.
Hold on. 
Or let it go.
The tunnel only leads towards the light.
Out of the dark...
You come to light.

Brought down by freak minds.
You fell by the way side.
They found out, you were the last to know.
Sent where the wind blows.
Give me a free mind.
Keep the rest, I'll stay on side.
Held on to finally let it go.
The shadows only showed you toward the light.
After the dream... 
You come alive.

Musician & songwriter driven just by passion for songwriting and singing. I am releasing "SoundCloud first" but some selected songs are also on https://potbarley.bandcamp.com or Spotify etc, sometimes in older versions though.
Since spring 2023 I have been writing and recording mainly as a "one man band", using acoustic & electric guitars, bass guitar, keyboards, an old piano, conga, etc. and a voice.
Former member of German bands: In Rags (with Sami Yli-Sirniö and Roman Keymer), Sharkpool and Dutch bands Garbitsjkeng, The Wit, Trio van Putten and and a few others. I baptized my Alter Ego and named him "Pot Barley".

IR1S (Intelligent Recognitive Integrated Sound) is an alternative band electronic music project where the central characters in every song are women. Each track tells a story, explores a social issue, or expresses a thought from the perspective of these protagonists, weaving together elements of both fictional narratives and real-life experiences. Drawing inspiration from strong women in literature, cinema, and dystopian worlds, IR1S creates a unique soundscape that blends powerful storytelling with evocative electronic beats.
