Wenn in bangen trüben Stunden Wenn in bangen trüben Stunden Unser Herz beinah verzagt, Wenn von Krankheit überwunden Angst in unserm Innern nagt; Wir der Treugeliebten denken, Wie sie Gram und Kummer drückt, Wolken unsern Blick beschränken, Die kein Hoffnungsstrahl durchblickt: O! dann neigt sich Gott herüber, Seine Liebe kommt uns nah, Sehnen wir uns dann hinüber, Steht sein Engel vor uns da, Bringt den Kelch des frischen Lebens, Lispelt Muth und Trost uns zu; Und wir beten nicht vergebens Auch für die Geliebten Ruh. Novalis, Geistliche Lieder, 1802. XIII. Translation: When in anxious, cloudy hours When in anxious, cloudy hours, Our heart almost despondent. When overcome by illness, Fear gnaws inside of us; We, the faithful, believe How she expresses grief and sorrow. Clouds restrict our view, That no ray of hope sees through. Oh! then God leans over His love comes close to us. Let's long over there, When his angel stands before us. Bring the chalice of fresh life, Whisper courage and comfort to us; And we do not pray in vain Rest also for the loved ones.

about

Three track EP in a 1970s Krautrock style.
Two of the songs are backed by the excellent, free-downloadable,
mechanik, drum loops made by Frank Coleman.
There's also plenty of guitar, synth sounds, and some mellotron.

When recording the guitar parts, I allowed myself only two takes
in order to achieve a freer, jam-like feel, in keeping with the era.

'Paper' includes a poem from German poet, Novalis, and
bonus track 'Lizard' is an experiment in atonal rock music, drawing its inspiration from an Austrian composer.

Numbered albums contain music created using only Apple Loops – nothing else.
