For What Is Lost

Abstractional Changes

Klangmoebel-Soundtracks, Vol. 4: Harry

Red Curtain Room Rear Right

A track inspired by a short story set in the halo universe, by the same name. The story depicts an ordinary soldier stationed on a spacestation with its companion AI. It's a normal day, the soldier claims he's observed some alien life in the distance, but his AI companion dismisses these claims as the sensors do not pick up anything. One day, a high ranking general appears on the station with many soldiers, equipped for battle. The flood is on their trail and they have been sent to defend this station at all cost.  The flood arrive and all hell break loose. The station's crew is evacuated and all is lost, in a last stand against overhwelming odds, the soldier decides to steer the spacestation into the eye of the storm which rages on the planet below. Expecting to die, the soldier is perplexed when he wakes up alone on the station. He will live out the rest of his days here alone with only his AI companion for company, on the other hand, the alien lifeforms turns out to be real and they might have stories to tell.

Defender of the Storm

Embrace the Storm (2025) – Facing new beginnings
Embrace the Storm is a powerful symphonic metal song about facing changes. Driven by heavy riffs, soaring choirs and operatic vocals, this song captures the raw chaos of transformation like staring into the heart of a storm, a sense of something breaking apart to make way for something new. Are you ready to cast off the weight of the past and give yourself into the storm?

The Arrival

The Sentience of Ants

This is a quiet, intimate piano ballad about the unexpected paths that life takes. It's about the acceptance that the life we live is often not the one we once planned—and that there is a unique and profound beauty in that deviation. The song explores the bittersweet wisdom found in hindsight, carried by a voice that is both fragile and resilient.

Musically and emotionally, this song is a deep and respectful homage to Joni Mitchell's masterpiece, "Both Sides, Now." It does not attempt to copy it, but to honor its spirit: the ability to express complex life truths in simple, poetic language. The raw, vulnerable performance is also inspired by the heartbreaking interpretation by Emilia Jones in the film "Coda."

A song for anyone who has learned to find the beauty in the scars of their own journey.

Dies ist eine leise, intime Piano-Ballade über die unerwarteten Wege, die das Leben nimmt. Es geht um die Akzeptanz, dass das Leben, das wir führen, oft nicht das ist, das wir einst geplant haben – und dass es in dieser Abweichung eine eigene, tiefe Schönheit gibt. Der Song erkundet die bittersüße Weisheit, die man im Rückblick findet, getragen von einer zerbrechlichen, aber standhaften Stimme.

Musikalisch und emotional ist dieser Song eine tiefe Verneigung vor Joni Mitchells Meisterwerk "Both Sides, Now". Er versucht nicht, es zu kopieren, sondern seinen Geist zu ehren: die Fähigkeit, komplexe Lebenswahrheiten in einfacher, poetischer Sprache auszudrücken. Die rohe, verletzliche Darbietung ist zudem inspiriert von der herzzerreißenden Interpretation durch Emilia Jones im Film "Coda".

Ein Song für alle, die gelernt haben, die Schönheit in den Narben des eigenen Lebensweges zu finden.

Lyrics:

Maps can be drawn to show a distant shore... 
And open books all promise something more.  
Lines on a page for a life to be led...  
A different garden in a different bed.  
That's how the plans for futures often look... 
Before the first page... ...of the real book.

But looking at your life from both sides now,  
From what was lost and what the fates allow...
It's life's illusions I see you recall...  
You never really knew... 
...your life at all.

Words can be shields to teach and to write,  
To turn fading darkness to brilliant light...  
A legacy built on a victory loud,  
Your echo trapped in a cheering crowd. 
That's how the plans for greatness often feel...  
Before the wounds... that time won't let conceal.

But looking at your life from both sides now,  
From give and take, and still somehow...  
It's life's illusions you cling to, standing tall...  
Did you ever know... your life at all?

The child you were...
...would never understand 
This broken soil in a foreign land.  
She'd only see the things you had to lose... 
The simple choice... you didn't get to choose.

But she could never see his hand in yours...  
A different sun that opens different doors.  
No, this was not the life...
But it was yours...   
...and it was... 
grand.
