An echo of my time spent in the quiet vastness of the countryside: open skies, solitude, and weather that moves like a living presence—gentle one moment, fierce the next. Nights when the stars seem to carry memory. Days where every breeze and blade of grass speaks of life in its most elemental form.

A rose, perhaps — but without color, without bloom. Only the memory of its shape, and the thorn still touching the skin. Moving between presence and absence, Between future and the image and what fades behind it.
Searching for a color, that tinting my future when even now contrast has disappeared.

A collection of piano pieces and musical sketches I recorded like a sound diary, during my work as a Shepherd. Recorded this summer, the album’s 12 tracks are titled and sequenced by the condition of the moment. A diary-like sound collection that provides an intimate snapshot of a Shepherds Life in the mountains.

The present is there in the experience of nature. Anyone who experiences this mindfully is lifted into the time dimension of long duration, into an extended, stagnant moment, so to speak. The flowing stream of time is overcome and the idea of what eternity could mean is awakened. Supported by the beauty of nature, the mystery of all life is touched upon.

..moving your body and dancing from the moment, from the impulses that come or are felt in that..

breath for a moment

Where we wander, where life is still a craft and the daring dare to venture.

Earth Beats is an plea to preserve the Earth and its natural resources, born out of the urgency of the present situation.

"Time slowed and all that existed was sound."

Wide starry nights, icy cold, snow storms and crackling footsteps.. Shining eyes. Frozen pods and beards and flickering northern lights..
A forty-five minute sonic winter cure through the winter of the far north.

n different autumn nights I explored on my piano the beauty and darkness of the night.After that i wrote eight poems to each of single track.

There are things that I cannot describe with words. I believe that if we had the ability to speak directly from the heart, we would be in a dream world of sincerity and true love.The atmosphere that surrounds this work goes beyond melancholy, the tenderness in each piece takes us into a warm space where the piano is the only companion and the narrator of this short story. The rings around my eyes were about to glow, maybe I have a weak soul, yes, but sincere.

The album was produced for and inspired by the work of Eric Cheung, a street dance and inter-disciplinary artist based in Vancouver. The music, crafted to complement Eric's innovative dance approach, takes you through a soundscape that enhances both movement and meditation. Masaya Kato, a Japanese composer whose work fuses poetry and visual arts, contributed to the final track, adding an extra layer of depth to the project.

Gallery Six and I have been in a sonic dialogue for over a year. We wanted to conclude our conversation with this Release. Conversations about overseas, between Germany and Japan, organic sounds, piano strings, soundscapes, modeling, experimental field recordings - all together make for a podcast of a different kind. I'm curious to hear what you experience.
