Notes Music stands before the
soul without creating a picture, a name or a form of this concrete
world, and so the soul prepares itself to experience the infinite. During my concerts I combine structured, thought-through/felt-through compositions with improvisations created in the moment. The goal of my artistic development is to arrive at my original creative power. This includes for me the challenge of letting go and truly being present in the moment.It also means letting go of total perfectionism, censorship and the wish to control. Simply letting it happen and flow intuitively. So naturally it can happen that a little noise or unevenness shows up in the recording which cannot be corrected or covered up, since these improvisations are something unique and fleeting. But, - is life so perfect? Most of the time perfectionism happens at the expense of feeling, breath and the great power of flow. |
