Searching For Peace

The «Weissensee» album has much with its namesake in common. Raw and direct like all elements of nature, it is shimmering and warm at the surface, deep and cool below. The theme that connects these eleven songs is something I found very often near the waters of this beautiful lake: peace. I have kept the album simple and clean, honest and as naked as I know how. Listening to it helps me breath and I hope it will mean something similar to you. Have a listen to the title song of the album (featuring my dear friend Christoph Zimper) below.

Another Crowdfunding?!

What can I say? The music keeps coming and I keep wanting to share it with you. It feels like each crowdfunding is me saying «Would you like to hear what I’ve been working on?» and somehow, blessedly, enough of you always answer sweetly «Yes, please». It means a great deal to me and I plan to continue until no one wants to listen anymore.

Remaining Production Costs

Since I recorded these songs myself, I didn’t need to rent a studio or pay for a sound technician. However, there are still several steps of the production that remain to be financed:

  1. Mixing
  2. Mastering
  3. Illustrations by Anna Frohmann (See examples below!)
  4. Graphic Layout
  5. Physical Album Production (1.000 CDs)
  6. Delivery

Thank you for spending this time with me!

Much Love, Bryan
