On the journey through paradise

End of 14

This semester I allow myself a few months break. On my mind I have a relaxed journey through the world, yet without taking money or plans with me.

Does that only work in the mind or is it possible to get through with the right attitude? As you can see looking at the title, I´m quite confident! With a smile on my face, open minded and -hearted, modest creative and considerate, I somehow want to get across the ocean!

> As account of the journey, I am going to write a kind of fary tale. <


Romantic Tour on the Stocherkahn

14.05.2014

This summer we offered our Kahncerts in romantic ambience with sparkling wine and candle light. Captain Mike lead our two-hour tours.

Looking back it was a great success as we drew capacity audiences and had a lot of fun gaining experience for the next year! Thank you, dear people!

Video Clip "Family"

20.04.2014


Right in the middle of another crucial learning phase I had a short chance encounter with Mat Rowley at the Synagogenplatz. As I didn't want to delay my breaktime too much, but at the same time didn't want to break the good conversation, I quickly took him to my nearby home. After showing him the brand new song, he really liked it. So we thought about making an easy, short video for everyone! He got Koleton Willams on board and we met for the video shoot a few weeks later. On my own it would have probably taken ages to get started with a video clip, as I have to spend a lot of time studying and keeping myself busy with a variety of other interests and scratching my living...

Despite being short of time, even having just a few minutes footage, Mat and Koleton did a quite well job! Everything was done without charge as we wanted the message to be free for everyone as well - After all we all just are a big family :-)

Thank you very much!


FAMILY

Yes I'm tired of this wrong game
got to do the thing got to go straight through, Aye!
This kind of society
is gonna end up in pieces of shattered dreams

Now is the time to change
we gotta sit down with a quiet mind
Ask all them questions right, right now
make all this light out shine

First stop the doubt, don't think about anyone else as an enemy
First open up, get it really just trust in the people around - we're a family!

Now you say: There's nothing we can do,
its all messed up no one thinking about you!
C'mon wake up who is talking about who?
Everyone is just a mirror face it, it is true

Billions of different people, billions of different dreams
but we are not that different as maybe it may seem - now
Some just take what they want and keep it, others fight for rights to live
we ain't really just, we want to make it more for us...

but we don't need it!

Logic says we can choose a way:
let global players play poison us with greed and hate?
The much greater majority - people just like you and me -
want to live life honestly, sharing peace and harmony!

First stop the doubt, don't think about anyone else as an enemy
First open up, get it really just trust in the people around - we're a family!

It's a hard way to go - easy though:
If you understand it makes so much sense!
I just don't do to anyone else, what I don't want to be done to myself
If you just don't do to anyone else, what you don't want to be done to yourself

Für deutsche Übersetzung auf den kleinen "de" Knopf neben "Home" drücken. Finally got to deal with the bilingual function!

Last Blessing

21.03.2013


As a tribute to all the persons who gave their body to the tuebinger human dissection course after passing, my fellow students Steffen, Hannah, Judith and Freddy could enrich the song Sandengel with violins, viola and cello. Together we played it for their loved ones in the collegiate church, Tuebingen. The song is about transcience, letting go and the own identification with ones higher self. In this case as angel, intended as linking bridge to the pure undefined being in the worldly sand of transientness - the human body and the relative world.

Maybe it helps someone attending the last blessing to find peace with that change.

In case we manage to catch up again in the dense jungle of exams, there will be a proper recording and upload for you!
