And we’re also featured in a webcast of one of the biggest German magazines, the “Stern”:

Musikmesse Popkomm: ‘Die Marktlage ist dramatisch’ – Unterhaltung – stern.de

So, last night it finally happened! Lucia Burana played at the Popkomm in Berlin, we rocked the house, the sound and the whole crew there was amazing and we were just really glad that we could be there. Also, for me it was the shortest distance to a gig from my home ever. Basically just down the street. There’s another club in Berlin that I’d like to play that’s even closer, we shall see if that will happen.

Anyway, so then we’re sitting backstage and in walks a team from the ARD the biggest TV station in Germany and they do a little interview with us and lo and behold, I ended up in the nightly wrap-up of the event (together with some guy I don’t know and the one and only Paul van Dyk)… I’m pretty proud!

Very sad, one of the biggest influences in the world of drumming has died today:

Remember when I was sitting on the ice? Well part of the result is going to be shown and played at the festival below. Go there if you’re in Berlin, it’s actually a pretty nice piece done by Andreas Bick

We received a very very kind review over on Variety magazine for the film Seahorses that I composed the music for.

There’s a Bob Dylen song that I know from the movie “High Fidelity”. Both the book and the movie I can only highly reccomend.

And this song reallly boils down the feeling of being alone.

Bob Dylan really is a not the best performer in the world, but his songs and realisation of the songs are just way beyond what everybody else does.
