Kanikau (Lamento) – when my sweet Makani died, a friend said that I should write a song for her. Here it is https://listen.music-hub.com/AdmPbe
She was passed on to me by a friend who found her in a natural reserve when she was very little. Makani always knew what she wanted, and she loved music. When I was singing and playing the piano, she used to join me and sit under the Keyboard. Aloha my dear little friend.
When you have everything, you have everything to loose That doesn`t mean so much to you, if you don`t put it to use
I´ve been practicing lucid dreaming – I love exploring the mind (and getting ideas for songs :-)). Two tricks to know whether you are dreaming or not: 1. Check where you have been before you came where you are – dreams usually don`t have a realistic timeline. 2. Look at what is behind you, look straight, look behind you again. In dreams, the scenery is likely to have changed. In lucid dreams, you can interfere with your dream reality to a certain extend. That gave me a deeper understanding, that we may have more influence on our lives than we think. It`s not easy to change the mindset, but it`s worth it – be happy

For my friends from Martinique, the 6th of January is the most important day of the Season.
For all of you who are still in the mood, I`m happy to anounce my first online release – on the last day of 2022. There is a nice story to it: On December 16, I went to my favourite radio station in Hamburg, Byte.fm, and I was lucky to stumble over Ruben Jonas Schnell, the founder of that wonderful program. I told him I wanted to give him some of my music that was going to be released over the next few months, and he said „and now you want us to play it“ – it was a short, but heart-warming encounter.
In the afternoon, I was working on my laptop, listening to Byte.fm, and suddenly Michael Hager speaks a bout a young (:-) musician that popped in earlier to bring some new music. I was so proud my music was on the radio even before it was released! At the end of the song, my producer Felix calls me and says „Hey, I heard you on the radio“. Yeah, it made my day.
