  • 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 ⇥ LANG LEBE DER TOD

    CASPER ⇥ LANG LEBE DER TOD

    In early March i got approached by none other than german legend Casper. He was in the middle of the songwriting process for his new album and asked me, if i was interested in recording drums for it.

    Toolhouse Studio:

    I was pretty stoked to say the least and met up with him and his producer Markus. The songs i was shown inhabited a strong dystopian mood, very versatile structures and in general a quite different concept, compared to the previous albums.

    After preparing the recording session, we rented the infamous Toolhouse Studio for 5 days in March and had a wonderful time. Also on board was Moritz Enders, who was in charge of the drum engineering and helping out with difficult decisions.

    Apart from choosing the right tuning, the right cymbals and the details for every single song, we were also able to dive into the certain vibe of each song to find exactly, what we were looking for. A great experience.

    New Casper Video:

    Now the first single just dropped recently and you can watch an intense and nauseating video below:
