  • Studio Vlog at Drum! Magazine

    I’m happy and honored by Drum! Magazine presenting the first The Ocean vlog, captured in Iceland earlier this year while recording drums for “Phanerozoic”.

    The post also includes a couple of insights on the mental and creative process involved in the making of the new record and being surrounded by Iceland’s beauty. Check it out at the link below:

    “The most prominent effect to me was this overall humbleness towards nature and the creative process, all due to being surrounded by these vast landscapes that Iceland is so famous for,” Seidel tells Drum. “The studio was located amidst a snowed-in mountain range, offering only coldness and abrasive irrelevance. It was the antipode to Berlin, a capital at times drowning in self-importance. Relocating ourselves allowed us to ease our minds and focus on what matters.”

    Enjoy!

  • CASPER ⇥ “FLACKERN & FLIMMERN” VIDEO

    Ein weiteres Schmankerl!

    Das intensive sowie cineastische Meisterwerk zum Schlusstrack des letzten CASPER Albums “Lang Lebe der Tod”.

    Der Song “Flackern & Flimmern”, welcher letztes Jahr auf dem Nummer 1 Album (zu dem ich die Drums beisteuern durfte) erschien, hat mit dem visuell wirklich beeindruckenden Video endlich eine mehr als würdige Umsetzung gefunden.

    Wer sich musikalisch in Bezug auf CASPER noch etwas weiterbilden möchte, dem sei auch der gleichnamige Opener des “Lang Lebe der Tod” Albums an’s Herz gelegt, welcher mit einem ebenso intensiven wie beeindruckenden Video    für offene Münder und etliche Preise sorgte.

    Danke für das Vertrauen und die Zusammenarbeit!

    Euer Paul
