Noch Soloprojekt des Kölner Musikers Birger Nießen ...
Die Stimme steht in den Startlöschern :)

New album out now! 

Want a cd ? Look at amazon :) "on foot dogs"

Take one guitarist, who is also playing bass guitar, one singer with a theremin box, a pianist, who is also mastering the accordion plus a jazz drummer, who is also willing to play pop music – mix them together, flavour this mélange with folk, pop, cinematic music and a pinch of jazz... and somehow this becomes on foot...

The last three years  on foot was going through a development from a singer/songwriter-duo (guitar man Christian and singer Corinna) to a trio (with pianist Birger) up to a quartet (with drummer Christoph).
And finally it is how it should be!

In may 2013 their first album dogs will eventually be released.


dogs – the new album by   on foot

If not necessarily literally dogs is about the fear of death. In the broadest sense it’s about the fear of loss, the fear of forgetting and the fear of being forgotten.
Every one knows this fear. More or less. Mostly we crowd it out, more or less.

Maybe the description of our music sounds depressing but it’s the opposite actually since it tells about happiness, about love and that the searching of it is always worth the effort.
The whiff of melancholia in these songs should be like the cinnamon on the apple cake, the chili on the tomato sauce - clear and brief: the icing on the cake...
