Welcome, Wanderer
Every song begins with a story, and here you’ll find the tales behind my music: old myths, forest whispers and glimpses of the places that sparked the inspiration. Press play, read a tale, and wander wherever your heart leads. 🎶
Rauhnacht
"Rauhnacht" is the German term for the nights between the years. Many legends revolve around this time of the year. This is when the veil to the other world is thin and things are neither here nor there but just gloriously "in-between."
This is a song to honour the thresholds and transitions in life. The states of limbo where we get to part ways with the old and intentionally invite in the new.
The forest scenes were also filmed in that special time, again mother nature provided the perfect ambiance and co-created this piece.
Stand Sure
This song was inspired by the crest of the Scottish Anderson Clan - an old oak tree and the words "Stand Sure". There is much to learn from nature. From a small acorn grows a strong tree, standing firmly in the ground and yet moving with the wind and adapting to the seasons. 🌱🌳
The video was inspired by our fairyland in the forests, as well as myths and legends surrounding woodland spirits like Satyrs, Nymphs and other forest fae. Sometimes, when out in nature, it's not difficult to imagine that there is more than plants, insects, and forest animals out and about.
Woodland Wanderings
When we go into the forest, it is like entering another world. On nature walks there is space for clarity and wonders along the way. Many of my songs come to me when I am out in nature. This song is to honour this gift of being able to wander outside.
The video was filmed in a very special spot in the magical Teutoburger Forest in Germany. Enjoy the scenes and tunes!
A Drop in an Ocean
Breathe in, breathe out. Come take a break and sit by the seaside. This is from the heart for the heart, for all those who value calmness within. When the winds are wild, it is so soothing to take a few deliberate deep breaths.
The Quote in the beginning is from an excellent movie named Cloud Atlas: “My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?” ― David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas. (Worth a thought or two 😉 )
Special thanks to the Movement Theater Bielefeld, where we were allowed to film some of the scenes for this video.
Magical Realm
From ink and pen flows word and tale. What if all the magical worlds we are looking for are not as far away as we think? Welcome to a storybook music video. This song, as well as the visuals are inspired by the gateways to the other realms that surround us. Sometimes just one story away.
Special thanks to Mike Modulacja, who not only helped out when filming this material, but also played the Satyr in the video.
Fairy Lights
Once a year, parts of the forest turn into a fairyland when the wild garlic blossoms. Within a few days, the forest is transformed into a magical world, in which it is not hard to imagine the fae flowing in between the flowers.
I really wanted to bring that place which inspired the song into the music video, so I did what I had to do: A solo uphill-hike with my travel harp on my back, a little picnic bag and all the video equipment dangling around me. I’m telling you, it’s a glamorous life behind the scenes.😁
So come with me to that special place (lightweight and zero effort) and enjoy the blossoms and forest harp magic.
Fading to Stardust
A cosmic harp video to the song "Fading to Stardust". It was inspired by the Great Mystery from which all that exists life came to be, and that we are all made up of stardust. Everything goes from form to form, nothing is ever lost, only reassembled. 🌌
Originally this piece was written with lyrics for my dark folk project Tribe Spirit. This is the instrumental version, in which the music can speak for itself, no words needed.
The Passage - Fairytale Version
A true fairytale- version of this track. When creating a music video for this originally instrumental song, the ideas began to flow and a tale about the great myths of the sea emerged.
This story was embedded into the original song and also woven into the video.
The ocean footage was recorded on a magical day on Fehmarn, at the Baltic sea. By the evening, the ocean and sunset provided an epic scenery for the video. Mama nature was beyond generous. 💜
