Sometimes you do stuff.
Sometimes you do „dinosaurs in the museum for natural history“ stuff!

MASSIVE thanks to all of you for the incredible feedback concerning „Jurassic Cretaceous“ so far... i really appreciate it.
.
There comes a time in every musical endeavour when you can‘t really fathom the extent of work you‘ve put in anymore. Everything is just relatively blurry and you‘re becoming so locked inside of the creative process that rational observation almost becomes impossible. That‘s usually when the doubts settle in, or questioning the „quality“ of your work.
.
Especially in a band scenario including many different opinions, approaches, and mindsets it‘s sometimes difficult to differentiate between good or bad decisions, mostly because every member looks at things differently, too, both from a musical perspective as well as contextually.
.
What i really and honestly love about Phanerozoic II is that it is one of these „mammoth projects“... hundreds of hours spent in dozens of different locations all across the globe, unique collaborations with outstanding musicians and at the core of it, a group of grown up human beings capable of processing and understanding a musical idea and then in a collective effort transforming it into a unique piece of art that resonates with human beings on a deeper level.
.
So Phanerozoic II is in a way a very therapeutic record, which allows myself and us to look back at ourselves struggling, fighting, but eventually aligning our thoughts and emotions to fulfill a higher purpose.
.
And i can‘t wait for you to listen to the entire record! ♥️

So this is it. Our new @theoceancollective track „Jurassic Cretaceous“ is now live everywhere...
.
And i‘m very excited for all the new adventures coming up with this album! „Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic Cenozoic“ is out September 25.
.
And maybe... only maybe... some day in the near future our @pelagic_records web shop will actually be able to handle all the visitors.
.
Thank you for tuning in!

Lets‘s just hold on for a second and appreciate

Lets‘s just hold on for a second and appreciate life in all of its facets. And instead of forcing ourselves into solitary confinement, open our minds towards a more comprehensive understanding.
.
Diversity and unison, two sides of the same coin, not separated by opposition but in itself intertwined to sustain each other.
.
As much as we‘re all the same, we‘re also inheriting change and openness to provide the future with variation and self-emancipation to overcome repetition and enable each other to learn from experience.
.
We‘re all incarnations of progress and chance, unique thoughts and potential energy, solidified into the present moment.
.
We all share that one moment. Let‘s enjoy it together and let love be love, in whichever variation. ♥️

New drum video finally coming your way, good folks

Found this old pic from back in 2008 when we played the last show of our US tour with Psyopus, Fuck the Facts and Left to Vanish... all the way down memory lane! 😂

Still sporting the chin strap, still being massaged by @vilgrind and Jason!

Thanks for capturing the moment @justinavillanueva 😅

Another highlight... being surrounded by animals and their different mindsets, lifestyles and sensitivities.
.
Today i got up early to indulge in yoga and meditation amidst the stillness of the morning and while being engulfed in the oxygen-laden air, sucking up the warm sun which was slowly crawling up my neck, a couple of horses and the farm cat Emma slowly joined my practice. What a blissful experience.
.
It is in these scarce moments of unison when every impression and impulse merge into a single dot, a place out of which awareness and simplicity arise to give our minds understanding and ease.
.
By practicing this bodily and mental hygiene regularly we can find and create stability amidst the complex distractions of the world and cultivate self-acquired guidance despite all the uncertainties of life.
.
All these animals are as sentient as we are, observing, processing, concluding. They act and react, they tend to be tense or relaxed and carry with them bundles of experience and knowledge. They communicate without being vocal, they feel temper and vibe as much as we do, so just watching them and trying to understand each other becomes vital to mutual acceptance and respect.
.
It is this concious learning of each other that eventually turns into trust and an overall well-being. An essential process we should all appreciate and populate in our daily practice to grow together. ♥️
.
Have a beautiful day!

We‘ve been spending the last couple of days here

We‘ve been spending the last couple of days here at @die_muehle_ the refuge @petervoigtmann and @scienceforsoundness have been calling their new home for a couple of months now.
.
This place, rich in history, oozes old thoughts and traditions, but has quickly been turned into a beautiful place for music and nature.
.
After having spent most of 2020 behind closed doors, not touring, this little getaway has already been mildly calming and really helps shedding the bleak skin of Berlin‘s big city misanthropy.
.
Now... let‘s not forget what i‘m here for: Music! And a lot of it. @fabianwillisimon has joined me to record new drum video material and apart from the massively slapping drumsound in here, he has been capturing the vibes for what must be my one of my favorite drum sessions to date...
.
I‘m not going to dive deeper here and leave it to another post, but let me tell you: Friends, music and nature really make for a prime life experience.
