this album – my first one – is a product of my own journey towards distance. my time-out at the other side of the atlantic ocean – 6 months in new york. this imagination and experience has filled me with positive energy. i found myself in a new situation full of self-determination and concentration (revive). In order to structure this idle space (empty quarter) for me i dedicated the early morning hours with a calm and alert mind to exclusively making music. no interruption, no distraction entered these bright morning hours (region luminous), during which this album was created. during this window i went on a musical expedition, i developed new ways of creating music and finally found the content and form of expression with which I wanted to fill this space (towards distance).

my dearly beloved blueberry granola (layers & blueberries) gave me perfect energy for these early hours and served as inspiration for for the track of the same name.

during this phase i wanted fully engage in the journey without looking too far ahead and without expecting anything too precisely. i tried to focus more on why i wanted to do what i did than how to do it.[info from mm]
