Finally! My first acoustic CD has arrived from the manufacturer. I have checked each piece and yes on each CD contains 13.5 songs. I have produced this CD on my own with some great help of Joerg Kramer, who has mixed and mastered my music. Most of my music is very relaxed and so you will not find any shredding or AC/DC. But thanks to Silje Nergaard you will find my version of her wonderful song "Lullaby to Erle", featuring Elke Diepenbeck on vocals. Most of the music I have written by myself. It is kind of a long journey and so I travelled from mediterranean ideas over to celtic themes and to nordic songs. Generally music is such an endless journey. And I think that's what makes it so enjoyable.
Band/artist history
Many years ago, in the early seventies, I started to strum on an old classical guitar and soon after I could play those simple chords I covered the music of my heroes like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, James Taylor, Bob Dylan or Peter Frampton. Soon I discovered the electric guitar as well and up to now I have spent a lot of time with the electric but my great musical love focuses on the acoustic. Listening to musicians like Tommy Emmanuel, Franco Morone or James Taylor refreshed my sleeping love for the acoustic guitar. Thanks to them :o) Motivated by their great music and performance I began to write music for this beautiful instrument and just finshed my first solo CD. You can listen to demos for that project when you click on "listen". I hope you like it.
