Once a month I go back to my home: Hamburg. Everything I hear and see is magical to me. I film,take photos. In my soul I hear the songs from my coming albums that go with the picture I've just found. I've arrived somewhere where nothing else matters but this moment and the world I have inside of me

A wonderful producer told me today that the vocals on one of my new albums were 'chef's kiss'. Love that expression and it made my morning.

The streaming quality on Spotify is as low as it gets. I had wondered whether all songs have really dull mixes these days, so I compared on bandcamp. It's just Spotify sounding like utter crappola.

I spent the last couple of weeks in the studio mixing, repairing botched mixes, trying ideas, adding some more strings etc. I can report happily that I am making progress. It's lifted my mood, I feel I'm moving forward and I'm having a lot of fun. Bit of a way yet too go but strolling on and on....

Not many people know this but this is the actor and character I wrote 'You're walking' about. To me he could resemble a (harmless) peeping Tom who walks around Hamburg's red light district. This is how I imagined my character to look and I wrote the song lyric after watching the movie.

There was never any doubt that the fabulous @billie-ray-martin.bsky.social would be one of my picks. The only dilemma: how to choose just one song?
