” Odyssee “

One day when the urge to start creating this (quasi) debut album became too strong to suppress, something profound occurred to me. The mere existence of music, with its unrivaled ability to point toward hope, meaning and redemption even in the darkest of times suddenly seemed reason enough to make even the most cynical person ponder upon the reason of our existence. What if music betrayed a genuine hope and purpose for mankind in stead of an illusory one in an otherwise gloomy universe? If so, music might actually be telling us a cosmic love story reminiscent of the one contained in the world’s most famous collection of ancient writings. Furthermore if I was created with the ability and desire to create, all credits of my music would belong to the initial Creator who actually proved Himself determined to redeem this world by becoming our living hope in an ultimate act of love. When this chain of thought crystallized it unintendedly removed a burden to hunger for acclaim and instead trust in the One who was able to create T-Rexes, trees and tenor sax players. The making of this album seemed destined to become a true Odyssey away from the shores of cynicism, fear and indifference in search of the narrative of hope we al long for and which route, like nothing else, music seems to be able to guide.
