about

Between October 7th and November 1st, in my work as HR Referent, I had to experience a stressful time as 22 of our MSF colleagues were trapped in a very dangerous situation. . This period of over 3 weeks meant worries, fear of death and hopelessness for my colleagues. The certainty of my colleagues' situation also caused as well for me some stress and a depressed mood. Although I had been through tough situations during my time working abroad with MSF, I could not even imagine the difficulties my colleagues were going through.
On November 1, the situation improved significantly for my colleagues. I was also able to take a deep breath and the worries about my colleagues fell away from me.
I was exhausted and at the same time very moved and inspired by this stressful time. I felt that creating ambient drones as a form of self-awareness and reflection could be a healing and creative way to cope with the stress I experienced during those three weeks. I often use ambient drones to create a sense of calm and self-reflection.
The process of creating ambient drones is a personal and creative journey for me. It is an opportunity to connect with my inner self and find solace in the midst of stress. I wasn't afraid to experiment and let my feelings guide me. I embrace as well possible imperfection.
Maybe my music will support you in difficult times of life.

I also added a bonus track, an ambient drone track with almost 50 minutes duration, which I recorded in one-go live.

This Album is dedicated to the 22 MSF colleagues.

Where is this place? This temple? This ancient choir? These memories, faces, beings? What is this magic? This spell? The cast is strong, hypnotic, and then it ends as mysteriously as it began... Volker Lankow

Another stellar release from this long-lived ensemble. Though the King Crimson influence is obvious & that comparison unavoidable, these guys have made many great recordings that can't be categorized as 'mere copies'. The perfect balance of aggressive riffing and serene soundscapes. Stephen Roberts
