Music has a lot of meanings for me.  Among other things, it means relaxation, calm, joy, and encouragement.  It is a place where I feel good, switch off and enjoy the moment.  A resting place of many memories, as there are so many songs that I associate with special or emotional moments in which I was either particularly happy or sad.  Therefore, for me, music also means happiness and sadness.  It roughly reflects my first great love, as strange as that may sound to one or the other.  To put my feelings into two sentences: Music is something wonderful and shouldn’t be denied to anyone.  Music is love!

I am open to any kind of music.  Well, except for techno. I can’t make friends with this music.  The music by a British band from Liverpool, ‘Anathema’, has influenced me the most in the last few years, though they’re unfortunately on an indefinite break at the moment. Their music touched me deeply and helped me a lot in so many ways. But also the German band ‘Flyswatter’ really impressed me with the energy and passion with which they make music. My other musical influences are Coldplay, Pink Floyd, Kyotohead, James Gillespie, Dan & Vincent Cavanagh, Springsteen, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Myles Kennedy, Ros Gilman, Adele, Damien Rice and and and…

Sharing my endless love for music with others and expanding my musical horizons every day, motivates me immensely. Looking forward to sharing my passions with you all.
