about

An eurasian and mystical journey. A train ride in the style of the Orient-Express..... but imaginary maybe from Spain to Persia, or from whereever. you may start..... Impressions from the train window........ Emotions, memories of heydays, of becoming and passing away, of universal and own truths and lies, of progress and regression, - of senseless loops and finally coming home..... or the return ? .......... Impressions from the train window....... Emotions, memories.........repeat...... Transmission ends......

released June 18, 2021

Totally played LIVE in one take at home between 5th and 7th april 2021. No overdubbing !
--> The last three "hidden" pieces represent alternative ends of the journey.
A small wink....... as return from the journey every listener can consider his personal preferred "station". <--

Played in respect and deep gratitude on several synths and samplers, several ritual-shaman-frame drums & over/undertone singing.

Mastered by Thomas Sauer alias SONIC☉SPACES (pen-umbra.bandcamp.com) - many thanks !

Thanks for my second life gift and to all who accompanied me......
Love you CoKe ;-)

This album will grow on you. Listen in headphones or earbuds. It will blow your mind. Steve has so many amazing textures and dimensions on this release. It's hard to pick a favorite track. Probably in his top 5, if there is such a thing. 53Guitarman
