The new @theoceancollective album is finally out e The new @theoceancollective album is finally out everywhere! It’s been a challenging yet incredibly rewarding ride up until here... I‘m filled with absolute joy and can‘t thank you all enough for joining us in this transformative process. This is a band that has gone through the absolute highs and lows of being human, trying to find ways to communicate with each other in sincerity. And every note, every tension and release, every thought put into this is a reflection of our minds. I sincerely hope that it will guide you in moments of despair, whenever you might need it. Thanks to my partners in crime: @thegreatestbane , Loïc, @mattiasvoid , @petervoigtmann , @davidramis_ and of course all the good people who have participated and helped us turn ideas into motion! Now... time to lean back for a (fraction of a) moment! 🧘🏻‍♂️ Enjoy the ride.
Was it a strategically wise idea to release an alb Was it a strategically wise idea to release an album in the middle of the pandemic? Probably not, we should have waited until we can tour again… but it seems like the album is making massive waves regardless, and we’re immensely thankful for that 🌍 PHANEROZOIC II is out now, and we couldn’t be happier to finally share this album that we have put so much into with you all 🦖 Listen to it on your favourite streaming service, throw your favourite tracks into your playlists, pass it on to a friend, share your thoughts with us… and enjoy the darkness knowing that brighter days are surely ahead for us all 💥 ☄️
One more week until the new @theoceancollective ba One more week until the new @theoceancollective baby is out! It‘s been a hell of a ride so far (and still is)... can‘t wait for you all to experience it in its entirety. 🧘🏻‍♂️
This picture was taken in Kazachstan, while being This picture was taken in Kazachstan, while being on tour exactly one year ago. It seems surreal that something as crucial to me as the touring lifestyle can just vanish within the blink of an eye. After being on the road for almost 13 years without a proper break, suddenly i find myself „stuck“ at home for the first time in over a decade. What has become a vital part of who i am suddenly disappears completely and leaves me with a feeling of uselessness, or at least an inability to fully engage with what i live for. . Throughout the last couple of months i‘ve come to many conclusions as well as overthrowing conclusions after all, because all of the questions end up having multiple answers essentially and seem to lead nowhere. Life is too unpredictable, so to say. What am i worth as a musician if i can‘t share how i see and feel about life with anyone in a live scenario? . I realize that culture and subversive art are the means to countering societal flaws, although living the artist’s life is a luxury that needs to be nourished and afforded by society itself. Art can be a gateway to metaphysical examination, a self-sufficiency as the foundation of its controversy. But if taken for granted as low-key entertainment, art turns into a pale reflection of idolization and becomes stagnant and devoid of ideas. . I hope being forced to overcome structures of habitude will eventually catalyze new forms of offensive, blatant and provoking turmoil. Unique ideas cast into mind-altering, enraging and fullfilling noise to shake the foundations of the new normal. . We don‘t need music as entertainment. We need music as pulsating and pleasing nuisance. We look up to it as an eye-opening mediator towards understanding ourselves and allowing our minds to devote to nothing but sound and feeling. We connect emotionally to these intricate or dense messages of audio-information, we collect them and keep them forever. . I look at music as my partner in crime. An invisible force allowing me to communicate my feelings without being profane or obvious. And in a way i feel that with the help of music i can speak to all of you without saying a word. . ♥️
Here‘s yet another playlist for you including a Here‘s yet another playlist for you including a lot of songs that take me far away and make me forget about earthbound struggles. . „Deep Resonance“ is essentially about breathing and letting go. For all of you who experience anxiety or loneliness. I feel you. . ♥️ . Click the link in my bio to listen. . 📷 @afaulkphoto
So... what is it that makes us so tense and lets u So... what is it that makes us so tense and lets us forget about how it feels to be calm and unwound. Shouldn‘t we allow ourselves the time to heal instead of piling up loads of concern? . I believe that sincerely engaging with our inner turmoil can unlock what makes us feel warm and at ease and eventually bring honest joy and fulfillment not only into our own lives, but also to everyone else around us. . If we can allow ourselves to be calm when it is loud outside, to observe rather than to yell, then we will notice that all the distracting noise that is overstimulating is not actively seeking us, but we are actively letting it in. . Once we decide not to let everything stimulate our senses, we‘ll find calmness amidst the noise of our everyday surroundings. . Have a wonderful week and don‘t forget to breathe! ♥️
In case you forgot: You are allowed to be slow. Yo In case you forgot: You are allowed to be slow. You are allowed to take your time. You are allowed to be overwhelmed by your surroundings, your tasks, your own (and everyone else's) demands. . We are all being thrown into an exhausting world of pressure, expectations, and manifestations of cult-like self-abandonment. Finding a halt within these circumstances is an opportunity to understand our dependencies and allowing ourselves to recognize what causes symptoms of exhaustion, overpowering and anxiety. . Don‘t let false incentives fool you into self-destruction. Seek a reposing mind. Detach from the invasive evil of persuasion. Less is not more. Less is less. And that‘s what we need. . Love ♥️

We're going on tour in January with @pglost , @hyp We're going on tour in January with @pglost , @hypno5eofficial & @svalbard! (swipe to see dates!) . This tour has been planned for a long time already and despite the unprecedented situation we’re all currently going through, we decided to announce it and put tickets on sale. We hope that this will serve as a strong positive statement for bands, promoters and music fans alike. . Tickets go on sale on Friday, 14 August at 10am local time. . As this develops, we have to assess, analyse and make the right decisions for everyone involved. The tour going ahead in early 2021 relies on many elements to fall into place, and if it can’t go ahead, then we have a backup routing in place already for later in the year, and all tickets purchased for this tour will be transferrable to that. . Be assured that we will keep assessing this situation as we head later into 2020, and be in communication with everyone. Much love and we hope to see you guys out there in January! . #theoceancollective #pglost #hypno5e #svalbard
