in that (..no real words..) of joy i come to your house by looking your old postcards with the memory of that old sea that childhood childhood sea one day under water i suffocated

scars 05:33
i can't let go these old tunes that do capture a magic from when i was young that promised a life that never did come they're filled up with beauty and hope and all of those things that give you the feeling of what all might come great situations and places and people that never did pay out that never did come well this lays shattered in sweet little pieces barefooted in wet grass sparkles in the sun remember that scars that you kept on your arms and inside your guts remember that scars that you kept on your arms that you kept on your legs and inside your heart remember that scars when you fell off your dream when you fell off my dream when i fell off your dream when i fell off my dream

about

i was feeding the cats and watering plants
for two weeks in the summer of 2024
in louis' house near metz east of france

i used the piano, harmonium, mandola, 5-string guitar, chatons saw, leaves and branches from the woods and the things i brought there myself: banjo, guitars, bells, bow and a simple recording set up, two mics and one field recorder

all these tracks started as improvisations and did grow by rain
i spent my days recording, walking, listening, recording, walking
i tryed to focus on mainly accoustic instrumentation in this room in louis'house with a wide window and a wooden floor

to find out a little more about my passion for the banjo, most pieces turn aroud its sound. i was looking for an access to the instrument to get closer to my musical needs, struggles and consolation and maybe, by sharing it with you, some of my longing, rage and desolation can resonate with yours
