Summer and Boubles

40°C in the hut (in places)! And even that can be lovely if you’ve got a way to cool down. At least three times an hour I’ve popped under the hose shower to scald myself with the almost boiling-hot water that the sun has already heated up in the hose again. Most of the plants are doing well! Admitte

Hindsight

I know it might be overkill to record so many takes of Hindsight. But I just felt like doing it. And I like to have it back again; that joy of making videos. This video for Hindsight was an experiment for me: How does it feel? So far, I can say it feels neutral to me. Not neutral, however, is this m

Watch the video and observe the animals I filmed. Feel how a pleasant sense of slowness and calm permeates your body and mind. Schau' dir das Video an und beobachte die Tiere, die ich gefilmt habe. Spüre, wie eine angenehme Langsamkeit und Beruhigung deinen Geist und deinen Körper durchdringen. Luna

In Limbo - A New Piano Composition

In Limbo. A piano improvisation I'd like to write down. But because I also tend to procrastinate on important things, I'll write this text first. And since I can't think of anything else right now, here's an excerpt from my diary: Tea with the ladies across the hall. It's nice to do that sometimes.

Fool or romantic? On the happiness of knowing what you really need.

Missed gym membership (ergo: none), completely unroadworthy car (so: none). Exactly one bar of soap for personal hygiene. You could present me with the most amazing and expensive car: I would still prefer every blackbird, every tree, and every mosquito (we need them too). Yes! I will walk, take the

Laconic Hindsight

At the piano: laconic. The garden shed enveloped in the scent of blossoms, the rain drumming gently on the roof, sometimes against the window. Hindsight. Looking forward. Looking inward. Above all, inward. There, one finds wealth. True wealth. Genuine wealth, which differs from inauthenticity in eve

A Garden Day

I'm revising the sheet music for my pieces, the first forget-me-nots are blooming, and the sun is already shining so brightly that I occasionally retreat to the still-cool garden shed to play my favorite pieces at the piano, cooling off again. I do miss the live streams a bit, and yesterday, as I wa

Hindsight - A New Piano Composition

I’m working on a new piece! And nearly 10 years have passed between the audio clip I recorded for it and today, when I’m finally revising and writing it down. So here’s what I recorded 10 years ago. Ich arbeite an einem neuen Stück! Und es liegen beinahe 10 Jahr zwischen dem Audiofragment, das ich d

As always: As simple as possible, but not simpler :). Add your own personal touch to the music! I've attached the sheet music below for download. Of course, I'll also add it to my sheet music directory. And now a few more pictures. This is what it looks like right now. The crocuses and snowdrops hav

My Letter

The piano, though a bit out of tune, is in good shape. I've only had to glue two keys so far, and the cobwebs inside were manageable this time. So the desiccant (a salt) did its job perfectly. Using salt was a good idea. Well, this is my last video on YouTube. And I want things to continue right her

Human Intervention

Every "intervention" has its price. Leaving nature completely alone in many areas, without interference, would also be the best thing for us. In this way, primeval forests and original nature could emerge anew, and the ecosystem would stabilize itself again. But we can speak right away about that be

Under The Pines

It’s snowing. Many flakes. Cold flakes. I don’t see the world anymore. I don’t hear the world anymore. Not anymore. I dream: of burning wood, of a fire that warms me. Out there in the snow. It didn’t hurt. Nothing hurt anymore. You said, you could no longer feel my breath when you found me. Out ther

Something More To Say

Life goes on. It is the manifestation of will itself. Or of meaning. There are many words for it, and almost everyone is searching for it. Yet it is the human being themselves: an individual manifestation of this will. So go forth and do what must be done! Das Leben geht immer weiter. Es ist die Man

Erik Satie - Gymnopédie No. 1

It’s October. We live in an apple dream. I dream. Once, there was a tiny little seed. It fell onto moist, warm soil. The soil greeted it and received it kindly. Years later, a person came along. With a piece of another person. One day, people heard him play and said: 'Beautiful was the apple dream.'

Havedream. Babydream. Lay reality to rest — it’s sleeping time. Drunken and half-sunk, the eyelids fall. Sink into Dürrenmatt’s cloak — of deceit and no longer dewy dreamer eyes. Cave — cozy and hollow. Shaping wood, sleeping warm. Packed tightly by the fire. Flames of Udûn. Dreams inscribed in wat

You're Okay, Yani

Being in the garden and being able to do my own thing is the greatest treasure I can imagine. The freedom to do what I need to do. Here my soul grows, here I find myself again. Im Garten zu sein und mein Ding machen zu können ist der größte Reichtum, den ich mir vorstellen kann. Die Freiheit das zu

A Fresh Start? Let's have a fresh start with a new website! Thanks to some years of programming experience, I'm now able to proudly present my new publishing system. And just for fun: here is one of my very first videos. I guess it's from 2016. And let's have some audio, too! And I like to have play
