My initial piano sketch for this piece aroused associations with two styles: nothern shanty and southern work songs. So when it came to composing and arranging the full piece, I lent heavily into these styles. They blended incredibly good and the result is some adventurous fantasy piece that gave me strong pirate-vibes. Hence the cover - Arrr!

You may have noticed that I find more and more joy in recording live instruments. So if you want to have a look behind the scenes and see what and how I've recorded, you'll find quite a few shorts from this on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TorbenFugger/shorts

"The Siren (Seascape Version)" is an enchanting instrumental piece composed, performed and recorded by Karen Biehl.

The Siren - Seascape Version

In the process of writing “Death’s Exile,” I reflected on the numerous instances in which I have succumbed to seizures. While some of these situations have elicited amusement from me, they have caused distress to my family, which I fully comprehend. However, the reason behind this song is the inexplicable reason why I was repeatedly sent back to life. Not once, not twice, but five times. I came to the conclusion that neither heaven, hell, nor purgatory desired my presence. I felt exiled from the realm of death, and at that juncture in my life, the seizures were excruciatingly painful, the medication was abhorrent, and death appeared increasingly appealing at the tender age of sixteen. When you listen to this song, you will witness the transition from darkness to light, and you will sense the compelling force that draws me back into my body. I trust that I have provided a glimpse into the inspiration behind this song, and I sincerely hope that you find it enjoyable.
