Liedermacherin. Chorleiterin. Feministin. Aga Labus nimmt das Publikum mit der fröhlichen Schwere ihrer Musik sofort in Zauberhaft.
Sie setzt ihre ausdrucksstarke Stimme fantasievoll ein, indem sie schöne Klänge mit provozierenden verbindet und der Zuhörerin/dem Zuhörer dadurch aufzeigt, dass die Welt nicht immer rosarot ist. Sie nennt die Dinge beim Namen und vermittelt dennoch ein Gefühl, wie man auch mit Missständen umgehen kann. Die charmante Sängerin bleibt dabei stets eins: echt.

The long road from having the idea to make „Disease“ by Lady Gaga an a-capella Choir Song- Pt. 3
First: Are you still with me? Parrrrrt Thrrrrreeeeeeee 🪚🪓🔪
So: I decided on the song, did my research, created the a-capella arrangement, produced the Teach Mes, and now’s the „hour of truth“ 🕰️, as we say in German: I’m showing the arrangement to my women’s choir for the first time! Which means: I teach it to them directly. The hard part is, that there’s no internal image yet of how it should sound like, because obviously a-capella arrangements differ a lot compared to the original Pop Music productions. So we have to build the parts from scratch, bit by bit, voice layer by voice layer, so that an „internal sound image“ can arise. This is a rather messy process! The singers (they are no professionals) really have to learn and study the lyrics, the phrasing of it, the notes, the harmonies - activities that demand a lot of brain capacity. Even though we’re including the body, remember to feel free in our vocal cords & vocal expression plus remember a proper singer’s technique- it becomes a tiring process. Because we all know that multi tasking is a myth and we can only focus on (doing) one thing at a time (at least consciously) while we are learning something new.
Be patient my friends: the next video won’t be the fourth (and btw last) part of the „Disease“ -series, due to a special event. Will talk about that in my Newsletter (you haven’t signed up yet? Go there, I have plenty to tell and won’t spoil social media with it 😉). So I will mix up the series here.
Which part of the video was the most surprising one for you?
The long road from having the idea to make „Disease“ by Lady Gaga an a-capella Choir Song- Pt. 2
In Part 1 (check it out, if you haven’t yet) I told you, that I chose „Disease“ by Lady Gaga due to the lyrics, because I resonate with them.
I also wrote that arranging helps me transmute unsettling feelings. So here’s a little context:
Most of my childhood I felt very alone. My parents emigrated alone with me as their only child. So I guess, a lot has to do with that (the impacts of emigrating and integration in a foreign country and what it does to the psyche of the generations is a huge topic in general. But we’re all here for music, not sociology🤓).
So basically music was the only (healthy) thing that helped me bear and transmute this pain. Even more: The only times in my life, where I didn't mind being alone (or actually LOVED it) was, when I was in relationship with music: dancing, listening to music or playing around with musical ideas.
So that’s my full circle moment: arranging and recording teach me’s (and so many other activities in music like songwriting, composing, practicing your instrument) are actually very „lonely“ activities. Your only partner is the music and you completely submerge yourself (or better: your ego) in it to build a new world. You „do“ Magic, or more correctly: musical alchemy 🪄🎶❤️
Are there times, when you too enjoy loneliness?
The long road from having the idea to make "Disease" by Lady Gaga a Choir song - Pt.1.
First there’s the decision: why exactly do I want to arrange THIS song for my choirs / female voices?
Undoubtedly, the Artist is outstanding! Arranging a song from Lady Gaga was already on my bucket list.
Then I look at the harmonies and the lyrics.
In this case, I was moved to the core by the lyrics. This deeply felt pain & desperation - I could relate with a lot of parts of the song because I felt like this for the majority of my life. Arranging music that resonates with me on a deeper level - especially if it’s a troubling or disturbing feeling 💔(while it also works with elevating feelings 🦋🪽) gives me the feeling of transmuting sorrow or pain into sth. meaningful and healing ❤️🩹.
Because, in the end, singing in a group and in general IS an elevating experience and can accelerate a healing process. It’s a powerful tool! This is how I would even put my „job description“ as an arranger: you become an emotional alchemist. Even with commissioned work you try to extract the emotion and - at best - I always add a part of me. Just a little „salt“. �
As you can see in the video: extracting alone the musical information is a lot of work! It can be also quite boring, like recording the „Teach Me’s“ for my choirs. At the same time, producing them gives me a better feeling for my own arrangements, because then I AM the singer (and not the choirmaster or arranger or composer) and get to experience, if my arrangement works or makes sense. So as you can see: you sometimes even only record one note 🫣😅🤯.��Have fun with this one and leave a comment, if something comes to your mind watching or reading. Your comment is always valuable to me 🙏🏼

Da ich das ganze Jahr nichts gepostet habe, ist es natürlich Quatsch, das Jahr auf 20 Bilder/Videos und eine Caption zu reduzieren.
Ich bin dieses Jahr implodiert, hab mich 100 Mal geflickt, nur um zu kapieren, dass das ich endlich aufhören muss, mich zu Stressen, dass ich schon nicht sterbe, wenn ich verlassen werde, dass schmerzhafte Realitäten manchmal auch leider geschluckt und akzeptiert werden müssen und dass das Leben immer für mich da ist, wenn ich ihm vertraue und mich und meine Energie nicht mehr verleugne (aka aufhöre, mir ständig selbst ein Bein zu stellen).
Ich stehe auf den Schultern vieler starker slawischer Frauen & Männer und kann nun endlich ein Leben führen, von dem meine Ahnen nicht mal gewagt haben zu träumen. Mit meiner Arbeit für und um meine Chöre und der Musik. Unendlich dankbar dafür. Danke an alle, die mit mir in jeglicher Form zusammengearbeitet (You Know who you Are), Danke an alle bei WRKSHOP ❤️ und danke einfach für jede Begegnung 💫🙏
Meilensteine 2025: 1. unzählige Proben und wundervolle Konzerte mit OK nice try 2. nach 11 Jahren arrangieren habe ich 2025 meine besten Vokalarrangements geschrieben für meine Chöre und OK Nice try geschrieben 3. selbst das, was nicht geklappt hat, war am Ende FÜR mich, FÜR meine Weiterentwicklung und die der Menschen in meinem Umfeld. Diese Lektion habe ich in diesem Jahr etwas schneller begriffen 😅. Das gibt mir ganz viel Hoffnung und Vertrauen. Für das bin ich am aller meisten dankbar.
My Musings 2025:
- Top Alben 💿 : 1. deftones - private Music (11/10!!!), 2. ROSALÍA - Lux, 3. Sevdaliza - HEROINA 4. The Weeknd - Hurry Up Tomorrow

Being on stage and performing my music live for you means the world to me. But let me give you a some context here (although I feel that all of you know ❤️): for most of my career I am a mother on stage. And being a mother of a teenager maybe makes clear, that there are and have been very VERY few rolemodels for me out there. We're getting more and of course, there have always been mothers on stage, but we or at least I did'nt know them, because they were not featured in media or even had to hide there motherhood, because that doesn't sell. By it's current terms, society is very focused on the Archetype of the "the young woman/girl" to be visible (and often even kind of seeked out) as it is obsessed with youth in general. On the other hand the music industry is not so mother-/family-/relationship-friendly by its design. I personally think, that this is a pitty. Not, because of the situation I am personally in, but I genuinely believe that the Archetype of The Mother or even The Crone presenting itself more on a stage, in Culture, in Music could be so healing, transformative or at the very least inspiring for culture and society in general.
So let me assure you, that I take every concert very serious, not only, because I am offering my resources to you, the audience, at this moment but also try to provide for my child with all my creative energy.
This being said, I would highly appreciate you attending one of my concerts in this month and i am so proud, sharing the stage with absolute inspiring & outstanding musicians who are mothers, too ❣️

Mystery Remains is a song about defendance and advocacy the beauty of the soul. About speaking and rising up against oppression. A song about rebellion. A song about the free heart that wants peace, and knows that you sometimes have to fight back in order to live a peaceful life. Not only for yourself but for your friends, your family, your neighbors, for anyone who gehts oppressed for no other reason than to maintain power for a few.
🪽"Mystery remains" is actually a quote I drew from Eckhart Tolle, who indicated that there is a depth, a force in every single one of us that cannot be contained, conquered, touched or destroyed by any other man (or force). There is a whole universe in every one of us, a mystery, that will always remain beyond fear, threat, danger, violence or death.
🪽Stream "Mystery Remains" on your favourite platform.
Thank You.
