Chasing Reverbs

Some mornings, you feel it before you've even had coffee. ☕️

The phone goes on. And within seconds, it's there: wars, climate disasters, political noise. The kind of weight that makes you want to put it back down before the day has even started.

"The Weight of It All" is my attempt to offer something different — just for the three minutes it lasts. Not an escape from the world, but a brief pause inside it. 🌎

My new track “Two Takes” turned out to be a bit of a challenge.

The original idea started on acoustic guitar. After shaping it into a full piece, I picked up an electric guitar — and the alternate tuning, the sound, and especially the space and reverb felt so compelling that I couldn’t decide which version I liked better.
So I set myself a rule: if I could record both versions in a single take and be happy with the result, both would be released.

That’s how “Two Takes” came to life. What you hear is exactly how it was played — just two hands, six strings, and one continuous performance 🎸
Curious which version you prefer.

Many thanks to Sky Valley Records for supporting the release.

My memory isn’t the best.
The other day my daughter asked me what I had for lunch in the office cafeteria just two days earlier — and I honestly couldn’t remember.

What I do remember very clearly, though, is the first time I heard Ed Sheeran’s song for “The Hobbit.” It was during a train ride home. There was time to spare, and a friend had sent me the link. I pressed play without expecting much and then just sat there for five minutes, completely stunned. I must have listened to it at least three times in a row. That moment has stayed with me ever since.

Today, my instrumental guitar reinterpretation of that song has crossed one million streams on Spotify — something I still find hard to fully grasp. Artists like Ed Sheeran probably reach that number within a day of releasing new music. For me, it represents years of quiet work, small steps, and steady growth. This isn’t just a statistic. It means that someone, somewhere, decided to press play and that still feels significant to me.

Thank you to everyone who has listened, shared, or added the song to a playlist. And a heartfelt thank you to Sky Valley Records! 🙏🏼 This milestone simply would not have been possible without you.

🌗 „Lost in Low Light“ is out today. 🌗

This album brings together songs I’ve written and released over the past two years — now framed by two new pieces that open and close the record.
It’s not about big moments, but about the quieter ones in between.

The title works on two levels:
On a very personal one, it reflects those late hours when the day is done, the family is asleep, and songs slowly take shape in dim light — sometimes later than planned, sometimes completely losing track of time.
On a broader level, it’s about how we often see the world as black and white, while most things actually live in the grey areas in between. In low light, these nuances become more visible — more honest, perhaps — but also harder to navigate.

Thank you for listening, for coming back, and for taking the time to slow down with this music. And heartfelt thanks to Sky Valley Records for the continued support.

A little seasonal surprise for you today! 🎁

Chris Rea’s 'Driving Home for Christmas' has always been one of my favourite holiday songs — one I can listen to again and again (unlike 'Last Christmas' 😄).
So I thought a calm, guitar-based interpretation might be a nice way to bring a bit of quiet into the pre-Christmas rush.

Hope you enjoy it — and may your December stay as stress-free as possible. 🎄
Thanks to Sky Valley Records for the support!

🍁 New Release 🍁

My new track “As the Seasons Turn” reflects the quiet transition between autumn and winter — moments when nature slows down and everything feels still, yet somehow full of change.

It was inspired by a short trip with my family to the Eifel — a forested region near my home that, in autumn, almost feels like a small piece of Indian Summer.

Built around warm analog tones and subtle tape echoes, the piece captures a calm, melancholic, and hopeful mood.
