Back to earth: Secret Spaces (CD)

We are very touched by the affection for our music, that reached us over the years. Your support gives us the courage to follow the way that seems to be the only one for us during the past three years: Onward to secret spaces. We normally live our lives in a very well known way, only a few things change. But sometimes the security is gone. The room we are in, is strange. We are not sure which way we have to go. This is what we call "secret spaces" - the place between rooms. The music on this CD, especially the "Secret Spaces Suite" is inspired by the feeling of beeing in this place between rooms. It really seemed to us like coming out of the dark, leaving the good old times behind and maybe finding our own way home. As musician as well as human beings.

Be part of this exciting voyage.
