Ask Me Again


I’m trying to erase the wasteland
between you and me from the map
I’m scanning for the proper channels
for a signal that bridges the gap

if you ask me again
and lend me your hand
I’ll tell you the truth in a song
please be patient, my friend
hear me out till the end
so the signal I send can grow strong
and we can go on

Ich fürchte mich, wenn ich mit dir spreche.
Ich hab Angst, dass du mich nicht verstehst.
Ich sing dir was: dein Name – ein Klang,
ein Konzert, wenn du neben mir gehst.

Unsere deutliche Spur –
ein Sorgenkind nur –
verliert sich im endlosen Sand.
Wenn uns die Hoffnung verlässt,
dann halt ich dich fest –
ein Rückhalt mit sicherer Hand.

I’m caught between
the lines of the song
that reaches out beyond this cage
I hold my breath
the strings fall silent
as ghost notes are haunting the stage

when the chords have died out
and I’m left with no crowd
the curtains close on my last show
will my voice still live on
echoing from this song
as a memory of all the hope
I had to let go

if you sing me your name
I will share in your pain
and be there when you stumble and fall
if you tune in to me
if you turn round to see
you will find I’m no stranger at all

Ask Me Again

Taken from my 2017 album, “Confessions in Silence”, a collection of 100% improvised, mostly minimalist piano instrumentals drawing on influenes from classical music and Jazz, and permeated by a melancholic atmosphere.

Behind the Scenes

Black Planet Orbital

My first full-length, piano-based album project dates back to the period 2004–2006, laying the foundation for much of my later musical direction. It wasn’t until 2015 that I finally had the chance to record the songs properly. Full album stream and download available through Bandcamp, Spotify and any other common service.

The Field

Most of this track is based on an unfinished style I created in my teens (ca. 15–17, I cannot date it precisely anymore). Although it bothered me to leave it unfinished, I was frustrated with most of my musical endeavours back then and tried to start something completely new. In early 2013, more than a decade later, I rediscovered the idea and decided to add the missing parts and flesh out the arrangement in order to preserve it and finally make it into a proper track. "Ceremonial Trance" was the name of the original style; I decided to keep it for the sake of authenticity rather than think of a proper title so many years later.

Ceremonial Trance

The Real Redeemer ist my side project which started off when I revisited some of the electronic tracks and ideas from my teens (as presented in the two-track playlist "The Real Redeemer revival 2013"). The alias itself has its origin in this time period, too. I am well aware of the limitations under which those old tracks were composed, so preserving them was really a nostalgic endeavour above all.

As illustrated by the first all-new track, "Fulmine Iovis Deiectus", I am planning to expand on this project in the future and have already gathered some ideas. My vision is to combine an old-school sounding electronic backbone of Trance, Drum'n'Bass and/or Trip-Hop with acoustic instruments and elements of improvisation.
