Lyrics:
The path of destiny
is not hard to see
at all if you keep it real
all you got to do is deal
with all the pain
that you‘re still investing so much energy
to keep inside
and try to hide from you
in order not to feel it consciously
and try to hide from others
in order not to be,
vulnerably,
life is not always easy,
but trust me,
it can definitely be simple,
just sit down with me,
breathe in,
breathe out,
and just be.


[guitar solo]


Life wants you to feel,
life wants you to heal,
together we can live heaven on earth,
you just have to put your hands in the dirt,
and grow your love,
and grow your love,
and grow your love,
and grow your love,


Life wants you to feel,
life wants you to heal,
so that we live heaven on earth,
put your hands in the dirt,

Life wants you to feel,
life wants you to heal,
so that we live heaven on earth,
put your hands in the dirt,

Life wants you to feel,
life wants you to heal,
so that we live heaven on earth,
put your hands in the dirt,

Life wants you to feel,
life wants you to heal,
so that we live heaven on earth,
put your hands in the dirt,

and grow your love

So Much Energy (Composition No. 8)

This was my first "studio" recording ever. I really had to laugh while hearing it again after so many years. So I thought, someone out there might be, too.

Hamma Nimma

Indta Phar Nzhe

Laura took photos, expressing herself. She asked me, if I would record some music to it. This is the result. I kind of meditated on each photo and than improvised. I wanted her to add some words:

»Morir después de la despedida, caer en el abismo negro de un hasta núnca, y sentir que nuestra propia existencia se desvanece en vida. Un alto, un momento de quietud y volvemos a nacer, aquellas que amamos el calor de cada amanecer, no podemos abandonar las ganas de experimentar un nuevo día, renacemos de las cenizas y nos tranformamos en un nuevo ser con la fuerza de  nuestro espíritu, y la vida sigue con sus ritmos y colores.«

English:
»To die after saying goodbye, to fall into the black abyss of a never before, and to feel that our own existence vanishes in life.  A halt, a moment of stillness and we are born again, those of us who love the warmth of each sunrise, we cannot abandon the desire to experience a new day, we are reborn from the ashes and we transform ourselves into a new being with the strength of our spirit,  and life goes on with its rhythms and colors.«

Lyrics

You were busking in the city,
where I've been living,
for seven years now.

Yeah, I think you're pretty,
and when I smiled at you
you were kind of flattered.

You sang two sad songs,
telling the people around,
that they would have to bear it.

But I can tell you,
you sang so deep from your soul,
that I had tears in my eyes,
you made people stop, and not just pass by,
you were touching hearts
behind crowded minds.

I listened 'til you finished,
and with all my courage,
I started talking to you.

Man,
I felt like a school boy,
so nervous and shy,

but somehow I managed to tell you,
that I want to spend time with you,
before we said goodbye

Now I've got to write a song for you,
'cause after 2 weeks, you still did not reply,
I made myself not think about you,
but now I got tired to try.

I assume, you're not interested right now,
and I can really take that easy.
I'm not just looking for a girlfriend, you know
though I wouldn't mind having one or two.

But seriously, it's because I already,
found myself,
and I want everybody else,
just to be themselves.

I'd just like to get to know you a bit more,
meet you from soul to soul,
I'd love to play and sing with you,
maybe record some music, too.

Who knows, maybe we'll grow friends,
are you not curious to see,
what will be alive,
between you and me?

Know You A Bit More (Composition No. 9)

Walking silently,
through a future that won't last,
screaming inside of me
are the demons of the past,
everything seemed fine,
an illusion of mine

Illusion of Mine w/ D. (Collaboration No. 2)

Translated to English:
How do you want to be
always there for me?
You stumble yourself
when the weight pulls on you.

First we have
to learn to love ourselves.
We do know that.
But how to do it,
that knowledge we miss.

Much rather would I prefer
could we see each other if it fits.
We'll learn this soon.
The door to another is our own heart.

Lyrics in German:
Wie willst Du
immer für mich da sein?
Du schwankst doch selbst,
wenn die Schwere an Dir zieht.

Wir müssen uns erst
selber lieben lernen,
das wissen wir,
aber wie das geht,
das Wissen fehlt.

Viel lieber wär' es mir,
wir könnten uns sehen, wenn es stimmig ist.
Wir lernen das schon.
Die Tür zum ander'n ist unser eigenes Herz.

Unser eigenes Herz (Composition No. 10)

Oh, again
loneliness is killing me
I don't know
how to escape from here

my heart, please
don't get cold
stay with me while
love's on hold

tell me
what to do
I'm lonely
give me anything
to ease my suffering

Oh, again
I wish I had a friend
but emptiness
drags me down again

There's so much
I could give
but nobody needs it
nobody cares

tell me
what to do
I'm lonely
give me anything
to ease my suffering

Loneliness (Composition No. 11)

It's been a while since I first recorded this piece composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. I have played it many, many times since then and it is still developing. I like to change between playing it fast and slow, as it gives a different quality.

Bach: Prelude No. 1 in C Major – BWV 846 (Interpretation No. 1a)

Meditation in G flat minor on the Dizi flute. The Dizi is a chinese traverse bamboo flute. The counter bass, drums and synth pad were recorded with the SL88 midi keyboard I recently got. It's a great device, as it plays like a real grand piano. Now I'm able to make use of a much broader variety of sounds. Synth pad was generated using Odin 2.

This was more of an experiment, but I really liked the outcome. Hope you enjoy it.

Meditation with Flute (Improvisation No. 42)

Trapped In The Flight (Improvisation No. 46)

Official music video: https://youtu.be/ap0uQZz_KG4

Why is this weight
in my chest
still pulling me down
most of the times
that I come one
with my heart

It feels like a curse
cannot escape
this burden it hurts
I've been looking
for remedy
for so many times

Weight (Composition No. 14)

Piano and orchestral elements blend with Industrial sounds shamelessly to create a seriously strange atmosphere, that you could even dance to. Until they take you, too.

My Mindfulness (Improvisation No. 4)

"Der Mensch muß entweder wie ein Kind vor Wut und Unglück und Begeisterung und Liebe heulen und entschlägt sich so seines Gefühls in einem kurzen, nichtigen Wirbel; oder er kann geheimnisvoll an sich halten, ohne dem Zug zur Wirklichkeit, dem Trieb, dem mit jedem Gefühl verwachsenen Begehren ein Zugeständnis zu machen, und dann wächst sein Gefühl über ihm mit den Wipfeln der Bäume, mit den Turmspitzen, mit dem Scheitel des Himmels zusammen. Was aber dazwischen liegt, dieser maßvolle sogenannte Reichtum des Gefühls, lohnt nicht des Aufhebens, das davon gemacht wird!"
Robert Musil, Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften - II. Aus dem Nachlaß

Fire of Desire (Improvisation No. 11)

Ich will Dich riechen.
Ich will Dich spüren.
Will uns Flammen
der Erlösung schüren.

Das Herz vermag,
wenn es stark ist,
jede noch so weite Strecke
mit seinen Schwingen leicht zu überbrücken.

Doch uns're Körper
leiden Hungersnot.
Gefangen in Einzelhaft,
darben sie dahin.

Es fehlt Berührung,
es fehlt der nackte Hautkontakt.
Fehlen tiefe Blicke,
und das Salz Deiner Tränen,
der, der Freude und des Glücks
der, der Trauer und des Schmerzes,
der Dich fast erdrückt..

Es ist gut zu wissen,
dass die Zeit des Wiedersehens
endlich naht.

Während wir in Fesseln liegen,
und still von Herz zu Herz uns lieben,
brennt ein kleines Licht.

Wie der Hauch von Blüten,
der mir aus dem Schlossgarten
in den dunklen Kerker weht,
und mich nicht vergessen lässt,
wie wundervoll dies Leben doch ist.

So erhellt der Gedanke daran,
Dich bald endlich 
in meinen Armen zu halten,
Dein Anlitz zu küssen,
Dein ganzes Wesen zu lieben,
Deinen Duft zu atmen,
Deine Haut zu spüren,
Deine Füße zu ehren,
Deine Stimme zu hören,
Deine Wärme zu genießen,
so erhellt der Gedanke daran
die Tage, die ich zähl'.
Stund' um Stund' bist Du es,
die ich wähl'.

Travelling Home (Improvisation No. 15)

"Ein Dunkles ist, das vollkommen war,
ehe Himmel und Erde entstanden;
ruhig, still,
es steht allein ohne Wandel,
es bewegt sich ohne Gefahr.
Es könnte die Mutter aller Dinge sein,
Ich weiß seinen Namen nicht
und nenne es Tao."

Family Should Help You Heal (Composition No. 6)

I play instruments and sing. Into zen, permaculture, veganism, anarchy. Trying to be a good dad for my daughter, which leaves less time for art.

禅 I make music to explore myself. Each track is an intense journey for me. It's meditation and medicine.

禅 I publish on soundclound first. My work will always be free and available on most platforms for your convenience.

禅 I love to collaborate. Don't hesitate to send a DM. I can take care of the production.

禅 I usually publish under a CC-license, which allows you to use it for non-commercial purposes for free. If you need the files or single tracks from it, just contact me.
