This is a collab with my long-time friend Paul (aka Sylvain Dicte). A Lady I know might like to propose and develop a version of her own, so that it is also open to a collaboration with her. All in all, we have:
- 3 people: her, me and my poet friend
- 2 tongues: French and English
- 2 languages: music and poetry
- 1 mystery... as to whether or how this thing will branch out!

Original version of the poem >

J’ai vu en laissant partir l’abeille
Des arbres plantés vers le ciel
Suppliant le soleil.
Grands frères bras tendus
Buvant l’air et mangeant la lumière,
Tanguant comme des algues tentaculaires
Au cœur clair de la mer agitée,
Dendrites et axones puisant
Insatiablement l’énergie
Intarissable de l’univers.
Entre ciel et terre, traits d’union sacrés.
Je ne peux croire que ce n’est pas décidé...

English version of the poem >

I let go of a bee
And I see trees planted in the sky
Imploring the sun.
Ample brothers, their arms held out wide
Drinking the air, feeding on the light
Swaying like sprawling seaweed
Amidst the clear waters of a turbulent sea,
Dendrites and axons
Unquenchably drawing
The inexhaustable energy of the universe.
Sacred links unifying sky and earth –
I cannot believe it is not meant to be.

Ample brothers

My bandcamp page is getting out of date again, but some older albums there can be downloaded for free or for a name-your-own price donation.

If anyone wants to try performing any of this stuff on real instruments please send a message and I can provide scores. Not sure how playable some of it is for human musicians though.

Unsolicited messages asking me to listen to your latest song will lead to you being blocked unless if I know you well and we've interacted a lot.

Deutscher Singer-Songwriter über fünfzig Jahre alt. Seit fast vierzig Jahren schreibe und singe ich Lieder. Mein Hauptinstrument ist die akustische Gitarre, aber ich mag auch Perkussionsinstrumente (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). Ich liebe es, melancholische und poetische Balladen zu komponieren. Aber manchmal schreibe ich auch (schwarze) humorvolle Songs, Jazzstyle und -Rocksongs. Meine Hauptsprache ist Deutsch. Aber in Zukunft will ich mehr Songs auf Englisch und vereinzelt auch Französisch schreiben.
In meinen Kompositionen bin ich inspiriert von Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison und Bob Dylan. Auf meinen Platten spiele und singe ich alles alleine. Meine Vision für die Zukunft ist es, Musiker aus verschiedenen Kulturen zu finden, die gerne ihre Tracks mit mir teilen wollen.
Mein persönliches Mantra ist ein Satz, der von Paul Mccartney auf dem Beatles-Album "Abbey Road auf dem Track "In the end" vor fast Fünfzig Jahren geschrieben wurde:

Die Liebe, die Du bekommst ist gleich der Liebe, die Du gibst.

German singer-songwriter over fifty years old. For almost forty years I have been writing and singing songs. My main instrument is the acoustic guitar, but I also like percussion instruments (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). I love composing melancholic and poetic ballads. But sometimes I also write (black) humorous songs, jazz style and rock songs. My main language is German. But in the future I want to write more songs in English and occasionally also in French.
In my compositions I am inspired by Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. On my records I play and sing all by myself. My vision for the future is to find musicians from different cultures who would like to share their tracks with me.
My personal mantra is a sentence written by Paul Mccartney on the Beatles album "Abbey Road on the track "In the end" almost fifty years ago:

The love you take is equal to the love you make.
