Songs that hold the wisdom of feelings. They know more than I do …
Weaving piano sounds, the four elements into electronica and field recordings and thereby creating landscapes; traveling into Modern Classical, Ambient, Cinematic tunes, and beyond. ‘Valeska and the River‘ is the new name for my instrumental music from 2023 onwards.
“Rautenberg’s delicate minimalist approach and keen ear for tone & melody enables her to recreate the enchantment of those morning walks and the full sense of peace & wonder they engendered.“ Stationary Travels
“Transience – with this track Rautenberg ventures into suspense mode with a piece that has a piano tone worthy of a film soundtrack. The sound is one of distance mixed with fragility and loneliness.“ Drifting, Almost Falling.
“Schon das erste Stück „A Fragile Path To Peace“ zieht einem sofort den Boden unter den Füßen weg, um auf Wolken akustischer Ästhetik zu schweben. Welle um Welle ergießen sich das Klavier und die Streicher- Arrangements zu einem endlosen Ozean an intimer Klangästhetik.“ Gezeitenstrom
“Il y a longtemps que je n’avais pas ressenti un sentiment aussi poignant lors d’une première écoute. À l’image des meilleurs albums de Bohren & Der Club Of Gore, l’Allemande n’injecte aucune forme d’urgence dans son jeu, elle installe les éléments avec la plus grande finesse qui soit.“ Mes enceintes font défaut
“The piano melody that delicately floats in this piece has such character and depth, it’s hard not to feel connected to such a moving piece.“ Rural Sounds
“The song is called “Infinite” and features poignant words spoken from behind a veil of ambient textures as a prelude to a ravishing passage of solo piano. It is both a soothing and touching piece of music clearly offered from an open heart.“ Stationary Travels
