A Winter’s Song by Valeska and the River

A Winter’s Song – a delicate waltz to celebrate the beauty of winter by my neoclassical project ‚Valeska and the River‘ Immerse yourself in a serene winter wonderland with Valeska and the River’s latest piano composition. Transporting listeners to the most tranquil moments of winter, where the world hushes into untroubled calmness, Valeska and the River’s composition captures the ephemeral magic when snow blankets the landscape, momentarily concealing the stresses of life. As the delicate piano notes gently cascade, a mesmerizing string arrangement beckons the audience to embark on a melancholic dance through a snowy forest—a waltz with nature itself. This evocative musical journey is more than just a composition; it’s an enchanting escape into the heart of a peaceful winter sanctuary.“

Infinite – Out Now

‚Infinite‘ is the piano piece that took the longest to release. It is complex and different and in a 13/8 rhythm (why on earth would I do that?). It cost me sleepless nights, but I love it! Out on all platforms! Hope you enjoy!

‚If Miniature World Is Our Safe Space, Then Pass Me The Shrink Ray’

I was featured on the new album ‚If Miniature World Is Our Safe Space, Then Pass Me The Shrink Ray’ by Russian Linesman from the UK. I recorded two songs for this very unique album: The title track and ‚We have taken too much from the creatures of this world‘. These are electro tracks that live on the darker and more experimental side of things. Enjoy!

Never Lose Hope – Out Now

Thomas Lemmer’s words describing our song: When I was working on my album HOPE, I talked with Valeska Rautenberg about the album’s theme. The main Corona phase ended, and the war in Ukraine was beginning. Together we wrote the song „Never lose hope“, which we are releasing today as a single. It was and is a matter of concern for us to share this song with you again. Never lose hope, no matter what and in what situation you are. Our thoughts are with the people who have to struggle with seemingly hopeless situations. This song is for you! https://sine-music.lnk.to/never-lose-hope

RIVER SOUL (SONGS FOR PIANO, WIND & WATER) EP – Out Now

Like the soul of a river – always moving, full of hope to that unknown destination. On its way making the acquaintance of heartbreak, loss, change, tumult, joy, love, and peace. https://music.valeskarautenberg.com/riversoul

River Soul – the ever-changing, fickle nature of life – which place to better represent that than Berlin? Deeply inspired by my home town my new EP River Soul travels into neoclassical and ambient music, into the playful and melancholy charm of Berlin.

The EP ‚River Soul (Songs For Piano, Wind & Water) was funded by GVL & Neustarthilfe Kultur.

RESTLESS HEART – Out Now

A new piano piece for all my restless hearts out there … for the longing, the hoping, the always searching! May this song caress you on your journey! https://music.valeskarautenberg.com/restlessheart

And a beautiful music video to go along with it:

This is the third single from the upcoming EP ‚River Soul (Songs For Piano, Wind & Water) This project was funded by GVL & Neustarthilfe Kultur.

A Journey Through The Particles – Out Now

💙 A new song & a new video 💙 I hope you enjoy 🥰😘 https://music.valeskarautenberg.com/journey

A Journey Through The Particles – Imagine a piano song accidentally ending up in a Berlin night club. It starts as a tender and playful piano piece venturing out into choirs and string ensembles, then somehow ending up in a night club to meet synths and beats for a drink. It’s a journey. A representation of our inner journey as we go through this life, from fragile moments into bursts of energy. Its ecstatic dance melting into softness of heart – exploring all facets of life – all particles.This is the second single from the upcoming EP ‚River Soul (Songs For Piano, Wind & Water) This project was funded by GVL & Neustarthilfe Kultur. My little song baby was mixed by Ramin Tehrani, mastered by Chris Pavey & the video was made by Hana Pezhman out of footage I shot and collected over the years.

A BERLIN WALTZ – Out Now

Tadaaa 🙃

Thanks to the #gvl and #neustartkultur I got to produce another neoclassical EP called River Soul. Yay 😀!

https://music.valeskarautenberg.com/berlinwaltz

Here is the first single for your listening pleasure. Trust me, it’s a weird thing to release and promote music in these times when all you wanna do is stick like glue to the news and secretly create master plans in your mind about how to destroy all weapons in the world. But music is the one way I know how to bring a bit more joy and peace into the world … so here we go:

Capturing the charm, never ending change, roughness, and unforgettable smirk of my hometown Berlin. Listening to this melancholic and sometimes dissonant piano piece you can feel the contrasts and quirkiness of this unique city. This neoclassical song is an homage to all of Berlin’s wonders and foibles.A music video will be released with the song taking you on a little walk through the ugly pretty city. This is the first single from the upcoming EP ‚River Soul (Songs For Piano, Wind & Water) This project was funded by GVL & Neustarthilfe Kultur.And many, many thanks to these guys:

Wonderland – Album – Out Now

Listen here: Wonderland

On November 26th 2021, Sine Music will be releasing the EP “Wonderland” by Christoph Sebastian Pabst and Valeska Rautenberg. The EP will be available for streaming and download on all well known platforms.

„The way we inspired each other, and what led to writing these wonderful songs together was stunning!”, says Christoph amazed. After his solo debut “Time We Never Had” he now releases the spheric ambient/ indie pop EP “Wonderland” in cooperation with singer and musician Valeska Rautenberg. A cooperation between Bavaria and Berlin. The music they created is an impressive blend of ambient, neo-classic, indietronica and vocals. The songs are deeply emotional and convey clarity and vastness. Valeska knows how to enchant you with her brilliant voice and her soulful lyrics. Accompanied by the piano, sometimes with cinematic strings and choirs in reverberation chambers, her work amazes and fascinates. The title track “Wonderland“ is a tribute to Alice in Wonderland. It’s a magical composition with impressive lyrics and vocals. The piano is accompanied by a spherical soundscape of strings and choirs. These elements may even make the Cheshire Cat appear in your mind amidst an enchanted scenery ;-). The delicate and glittering atmosphere of “And I Run”, together with the lyrics, move in the complex territory of being human: two souls that are deeply connected, craving freedom, a self-determined life, and the exploration of love in all its different shades.

“Butterfly Wings” charms with its classic blend of vocals and piano: dynamic, light, and melancholic yet inspiring in a special way. The song is touching and opens the eyes and ears to the essence of life, to what is far too often forgotten.

The ambience of “I Wish I Had Known Before” reminds the listener of a haunting film score. The fantastic mixture of various elements creates a deep experience, asks about meaning and sharpens the vision for what’s inside of the self.

The two artists got to know each other via a mutual musician friend, with whom Christoph has released two successful albums and who has also already worked together with Valeska. While Christoph sat at the piano and composed “Butterfly Wings”, he felt that this song needed vocals and asked Valeska if she wanted to be a part of it. He was able to enthuse her in no time and thus their first work together began. Overwhelmed by the results the two of them knew that their project has huge potential.

If you dive into this musical world, you will forget everything that surrounds you and you will drift off to a dream land.

German:

Am 26. November 2021 veröffentlicht Sine Music die neue EP „Wonderland“ von Christoph Sebastian Pabst und Valeska Rautenberg. Die EP wird bei allen bekannten Download- und Streaming-Portalen erhältlich sein. „Wir haben uns auf eine erstaunliche Art gegenseitig inspiriert und diese wundervollen Lieder erschaffen“, sagt Christoph begeistert. Nach seinem Solo-Debüt „Time We Never Had“ erscheint jetzt die sphärische Ambient/ Indie Pop EP

„Wonderland“ in Zusammenarbeit mit der Sängerin und Musikerin Valeska Rautenberg. Eine Kooperation zwischen Bayern und Berlin. Ihre gemeinsam erschaffene Musik ist eine eindrucksvolle Mischung aus Ambient, Neoklassik, Indietronica und Gesang. Die Songs sind tiefgehend und emotional, vermitteln Klarheit und Weite. Valeska weiß mit ihrer großartigen Stimme und feinfühligen Texten zu bezaubern. Begleitet am Klavier, teils mit cineastischen Streichern und Chören in weiten Hallräumen, begeistert und bannt ihr Werk.

„Wonderland“, der titelgebende Song, ist eine Hommage an Alice im Wunderland: eine märchenhafte Komposition mit eindrucksvoller Lyrik und Stimme. Neben dem Klavier wird der Song von einem sphärischen Klangteppich aus Streichern, sowie einem Chor untermalt. Diese Elemente zaubern, wie aus dem Nichts, die Grinsekatze in verwunschener Landschaft hervor.

Die fein glitzernde Atmosphäre von „And I Run“ bewegt sich zusammen mit einem wunderschönen Text in die Weiten des Menschseins: Eine tiefe Verbindung zweier Seelen, die Sehnsucht nach Freiheit, nach einem selbstbestimmten Leben und die Entdeckung der Liebe in all ihren Formen.

„Butterfly Wings“ bezaubert durch seine klassische Mischung aus Gesang und Klavier: Dynamisch, leicht und auf eine besondere Weise melancholisch und inspirierend. Der Song berührt und öffnet den Blick und die Ohren für das Wesentliche – das, was uns alle ausmacht und was oft in Vergessenheit gerät.

Das Ambiente von „I Wish I Had Known Before“ erinnert in seiner Dynamik an ergreifende und mitreißende Filmmusik. Eine fantastische Mischung vielerlei Elemente schafft eine tiefe Erfahrung, fragt nach Sinn und schärft den Blick ins Innerste.

Kennengelernt haben sich die beiden Künstler über einen Musikerkollegen, mit dem Christoph zwei erfolgreiche Alben veröffentlicht hat und der auch mit  Valeska bereits zusammengearbeitet hat. Während Christoph am Klavier „Butterfly Wings“ komponierte, hatte er die Eingebung, dass zum Song unbedingt Gesang und Text dazugehört und fragte vorsichtig bei Valeska an. Er konnte sie schnell für dieses Stück begeistern und es entstand ihr erstes gemeinsames Werk. Überwältigt von dem Ergebnis wurde schnell klar, dass hier mehr Potenzial liegt, welches entdeckt werden will. Wer in diese musikalischen Welten eintaucht, vergisst für einen Moment alles um sich herum und beginnt zu träumen.

Along The 7 Seas – Out Now

Listen here: Along The 7 Seas

Press Release:

Join us on the 7 seas with this beautiful Downtempo ballad and some hand-made Electronic music.

The Forest Song – Out Now

My beloved Forest Song is out 🙂
Stream/Listen/Support

The Forest Song is a song that, to me, sounds like standing in the middle of a sunny forest clearing with the wind rustling in the leaves while being in awe of the immense power and love of nature and realizing that we ourselves are indeed nature. And that this is where we might be finding the answers we are all looking for.
For that reason I wanted to keep the song as natural as possible and used my vocals instead of instruments. The beat consists entirely of sounds of my wooden furniture and not a single instrument;)

lyrics

Like the fallen leaves on my skin
I feel freedom
I feel save
Don’t you worry
It’s gonna be good
We got the leaves
We are the roots

We got the wind
Whispering all the answers
We got the wind

Like the falling leaves
We can fly
One last flight
Before the river runs dry
Don’t you worry
It’s gonna be good
We are the leaves
We are the roots

Wild, wild is the wind
Listen to the wind
Whispering all the answers
We got the wind
Wild is the wind
Whispering all the answers
We got the wind

You Are Everything – Out Now

“You Are Everything“

Well, once in a while there is a love song inside of me that needs to emerge from the depths … in this case from the bottom of my heart at around 4 am in the morning, recorded in my bedroom in Berlin Friedrichshain a few years ago.
I tried to capture the pure and vulnerable intimacy of that moment.

I’m glad the song is finally in the world and also serves a good cause!
A share of the profits will be donated to Animals Australia, Australia’s leading animal protection organisation.

My song is part of the “Uto’pians” album that will be released on the 26th of March via Blue Spiral Records.
“Uto’pians” is a piano collection consisting of compositions by composers from all over the world. Now in its second edition, the artists were chosen by the curators Raphaelle Thibaut and Jordane Tumarinson.

Caught In The Middle Of Thee – REMIXED 2 x – Synthwave & Ambient

  1. Caught In The Middle Of Thee – NOVARAY Remix … when an ethereal a cappella song becomes a sexy synth wave banger 😉 Support/Download  It took a lot of living, learning and letting go to create this song and to purely sing my heart out. When life runs away with you and you get caught up in the whirlwind of time: „Wait for me, wait for me! I am caught in the middle of thee“ „Caught In The Middle Of Thee“ – the original – is an (almost) a cappella song venturing into the realm of ambient and gospel inspired ethereal sound atmospheres. Who knew it could become a sexy 80s inspired synth wave song? What an amazing experience remixes can be! Ramin Tehrani aka NOVARAY is a very good friend of mine and when I sent the original song to him he immediately felt inspired and started playing around with beats and synths and I loved his initial ideas so much that I encouraged him to create a proper remix. And I couldn’t be happier with the result. And also … it’s his first release as a solo artist outside of his band career. Yay! But listen for yourself 🙂 Not only do we have a strong personal bond but also a deep musical connection, even though we come from very different genres we always find a middle ground where our creativity knows no boundaries. You will hear a lot more from us in the future. And as if a musical remix wasn’t enough, Ramin also remixed my original video ;-). Have a listen and a look …

2. Caught In The Middle Of Thee … The Downbeat/Ambient remix. By German ambient/downbeat artists Thomas Lemmer & Andreas Bach. Remixes fascinate me … ⭐️ turning an existing piece of music into something totally different, giving it new clothes to wear, new colours to shine in … how amazing!

Thomas Lemmer & Andreas Bach about “Caught In The Middle Of Thee“: „Valeska’s song „Caught In The Middle Of Thee“ immediately convinced us to create a remix of it. Her expressive voice and the emotions the song evokes touched us deeply. We imagined an organic sounding downtempo version with ambient influences as a remix. We wanted to support the overall mood of the song with an ethereal sound design and a love of detail. We love it when music has great depth and Valeska conveys it perfectly with her emotional voice.“

Caught In The Middle Of Thee – Out Now

Listen/Watch here: Caught In The Middle Of Thee

Caught In The Middle Of Thee …

It took a lot of living, learning and letting go to create this song. I hope it touches you … from the bottom of my heart!

When life runs away with you and you get caught up in the whirlwind of time: „Wait for me, wait for me! I am caught in the middle of thee“

„Caught In The Middle Of Thee“ is a song that, to me, is pure feeling. It doesn’t need many words nor instruments and conveys its meaning solely with the voice.
It is an (almost) a cappella song venturing into the realm of ambient and gospel inspired ethereal sound atmospheres.
The song is taking on the feeling of being caught in the middle of all the big questions of life like God’s existence, life’s meaning, and the question of the self. Like a storm we can’t see when we are caught in its eye, we can’t see clearly when we are right in the middle of life’s quests.

„Caught In The Middle Of Thee“ will be released on 19th October 2020 and will be joined by a remix by German ambient/downbeat artists Thomas Lemmer & Andreas Bach. The remix will be released on 2nd November 2020.

Thomas Lemmer & Andreas Bach about “Caught In The Middle Of Thee“:

„Valeska’s song „Caught In The Middle Of Thee“ immediately convinced us to create a remix of it. Her expressive voice and the emotions the song evokes touched us deeply. We imagined an organic sounding downtempo version with ambient influences as a remix. We wanted to support the overall mood of the song with an ethereal sound design and a love of detail.

Into The Still White (Songs For Piano, Wind & Water)

Dear lovely humans,

here’s my new modern classical piano EP ‚Into The Still White‘ for you! I hope it brings you some sweet moments in these interesting times! Love, Valeska

Into The Still White – all links

Twilight: When the dark meets the light for a good night kiss. Deep within a forest where no one can see their secret bliss.

Infinite: My heart melts into rivers … into the infinite until it becomes pure tenderness. My heart, my infinite heart … it always loves.

Your Dark And Tender Heart: Life is ever changing. Your heart – too tender to follow the stream of change. Your heart –  wrapped in darkness by your never changing mind. Now estranged. A broken heart creates the most beautiful mosaic.

Blissful Naïveté: I wish I had not known … and I could still float in blissful oblivion.


Sitting by the window, looking out at the rain, following a train of thought while having a cup of tea … serenity meets the sweet melancholy of a just-finished book, a deep sigh, the feeling of longing for a non-existent place … here’s the soundtrack to my current state of mind.

A collection of memories, favorite places, and forgotten tales wrapped in ambient soundscapes and minimalistic piano music.

Sometimes there’s no need for words. You can let the wind whisper, the water roar, the birds talk, and the streets of Berlin tell their stories … while you play along on the piano, capturing all of those little moments.

Piano Day 2020 – Thank you Nils Frahm

🥰🥰🥰🥰 Oh boy … I feel as I’ve just been knighted or something. Nils Frahm (whom I’ve always been a massive fan of) included my song Berliner Morgen into the official Piano Day Playlist. Happy Piano Day everyone! 😘🎼🤩

Before there will be new music in March there are …

… good news and beautiful projects.

While I’m working on new music, covers and visuals, and dedicate my time to my wonderful students and all their music productions, it’s always wonderful to find out where my music has found a new home.

Today I wanna tell you about 2 great projects. The first is an absolutely breathtaking documentary about children with cerebral palsy participating in a dance workshop at the Staatsballett Berlin. The film is called: „Und ob ich tanze“ – English version: „You bet I dance“

It will premiere in March at a film festival in Australia – follow it here: https://www.facebook.com/undobichtanze/

And here you’ll see an excerpt with my song ‚All Is Forgotten‘ :  https://www.facebook.com/undobichtanze/posts/1428175800682869

The second stunning project I wanna tell you about is the London Teleport

Repurposing the old red London phone booths and giving them new life as a place of virtual reality.

You can travel to different destinations and while you’re at it listen to my song ‚Wandering‘ until the end of February. So if you happen to be in London, go check it out 🙂

I’ll be back in March with a suitcase full of new music. Yay! So long … kisses

This Life – We Are All Astronauts & Valeska Rautenberg

Hi everyone — I’m so happy to introduce you to this new song!
Here’s a snippet of „This Life“ – a new collaboration with the amazing We Are All Astronauts
You can listen to the whole song on BandcampSpotify, and all the others 

It’s a song about how hard it is not to fall out out of love with this life and all its current trials and tribulations when all you wanna do is just breathe and feel …

„This Life“ is part of the wonderful „The Visitors“ EP. Give it a listen. It will carry you away into infinite spheres. Also – there’s another song I’m singing on this EP called Expansion.

„Life is a notion running through my fingers like water that I’ve tried to catch.
God knows what I could not see while my spirit was asleep – in a deep, deep sleep. I keep falling out of love with this life.“

Berliner Morgen – Music Video

My Berlin … Here it is! I declare my love for Berlin … Berliner Morgen music video

Capturing the beauty and the solitude of a walk through Berlin at 5.30 in the morning. Imagine coming out of a club (possibly slightly drunk), into the peaceful Berlin drenched in blue. With your blurry night-tainted vision you hardly see the dirt, only the serenity and sweet melancholy of the big B. – my musical declaration of love for my hometown.

Veins – Songs For Piano, Wind & Water

Dear Ones,

here we are … finally new music!

Although I usually let my vocals do the storytelling in my music that lives in the realm of Trip-Hop and Downbeat, this time my path led me into discovering the power of minimalistic instrumental music. Today I would like to introduce you to my EP ‚Veins – Songs for Piano, Wind & Water‘.

Sometimes there’s no need for words. You can let the wind whisper, the water roar, the birds talk, and the streets of Berlin tell their stories … while you play along on the piano, capturing all of those little moments.

Here is ‚Veins – Songs for Piano, Wind & Water‘: A collection of memories, favorite places, and forgotten tales wrapped in ambient soundscapes and minimalistic piano music. Enjoy.

Aerial Minds EP Out Now

I’m so happy to share with you this little piece of my heart 🙂

Aerial Minds is the first of a cycle of four EPs: Each dedicated to one of the four elements.

They are like parts of an equation, like puzzle pieces to me.  Every song is a facet. An element. But whole on their own.

Let’s start with air: All four songs, though they vary in genre (from Darkpop/Trip-Hop to Storytelling Piano-Tunes), explore the EP’s main theme; the element air, capturing the intangible, ethereal and unthinkable in their own very unique ways.

It gets political, deals with loss, falls in love with human weaknesses and much more.

I’ve already introduced you to ‚Midnight Children ’ and ’All Is Forgotten’; now please meet ‚I am weak and so are you – Music Video‘ and ‚Judas‘ – the newest musical babies, completing the Aerial Minds EP.

All songs written, produced and performed by Valeska Rautenberg

Midnight Children & Judas mixed by Marian Kuch

I Am Weak And So Are You mixed by Philip Hansmann

All Is Forgotten mixed by Toby Craig

All songs mastered by Zino Mikorey except Judas is mastered by Marian Kuch

I hope you enjoy! Please spread the love and your support my music on Bandcamp or the streaming/download service of your choosing. It would mean the world :-).

Reviews And Support For „All Is Forgotten“

Once again I want to thank everyone who supported my little song baby on its journey!

Oh, so amazing words by Tunedloud that make me blush every time.

-“All Is Forgotten” is quite simply a thing of sublime splendor. Between melody, counter-melody and sweetly intricate harmonies, Valeska shows off a subtle bohemian spirit and a deep appreciation of simple, pastoral beauty. 

Thank so much Dubiks Music!

Großen Dank für die bezaubernden Worte ans Schall Magazin!

Once again the lovely Ladies of Get In Her Ears made a home for my song on their radio show on Hoxton Radio/London.

Another big Thank you to Undertones!

And yay to Storm Music!

And a bunch of great Spotify playlists 🙂

New Music/New Video: All Is Forgotten

„Love me to pieces … so I resurrect.“

For the quiet moments, the introspection, the reminiscence.
Come take a walk with me into the vastness…

I’m so happy to introduce you to my new song: ‚All Is Forgotten’.

An ethereal, sombre piano/vocal piece that invites you to pause and remember all that has been with a bittersweet melancholy.

‚All Is Forgotten‘ is my second single from the ‚Aerial Minds‘ EP. It turns to a more classic songwriting approach by employing simplicity and piano sounds, whereas the first single ‚Midnight Children‘ is a dark, ambient downbeat piece. Both singles explore the EP’s main theme, the element air, capturing the intangible and ethereal in their own very unique ways.

Here’s a piece of me for you: „Midnight Children“ – the first single of the „Aerial Minds“ EP coming later this year.
A song for all the night addicts and over-thinkers, the brooders, introverts, and the melancholy lovers … for the sensitive ones, moon howlers, the seekers and believers. This is both for the beauty and the ugliness we all carry inside. Cherish it!
„Tears of Time…I lick them dry and make their salt fertile.“

For all the sweet, sweet children of the night…enjoy 🙂
Love,

Valeska

Trip Down Memory Lane – Spotify Playlist

So … I’ve been making music for a while now … and before I will release a lot of new, original music in 2018, here is a little trip down memory lane. This is a collection of songs I’ve been involved in as a singer, musician, writer or producer. It’s a variety of genres, the oldest song on here is from 2003 (oh boy – I’m old 😉 ). Some of those songs are very close to my heart, some were ‚just work‘ but still have a special place in my memory, and some aren’t even on here because they better stay hidden forever ;-). Enjoy this little trip down memory lane with me. See you in February for the next release!

Spotify Playlist of my past musical adventures

Diese Aufnahme lebt…

Hier könnt Ihr das schöne Interview zum Weihnachtssong mit Georgi Gogow und Rainer Rohloff im Schall Magazin lesen:

Schall Interview

Wie es zu dieser, für mich ja recht ungewöhnlichen, Aufnahme kam, hatte ich bereits im vorletzten Newseintrag erzählt. Ein besonderer Song, eine besondere Geschichte…

Hier könnt Ihr ihn hören: Spotify

Habt wundervolle Weihnachten! Nächstes Jahr gehts weiter mit Downbeat/Trip-hop …

more coming soon …

Ps: German song, German music magazine, German interview…therefore no English news this time 😉

Prag, du Schöne!

Heute mal was ganz anderes … ! PASSENGER X ist ein fantastischer Reiseblog, den ich Euch nur wärmstens empfehlen kann. Für diesen tollen Blog habe ich mich auch mal in Wort und Bild austoben dürfen, um Euch ein paar meiner liebsten Prag Tipps ans Herz zu legen. Viel Spaß bei der nächsten Reise und neue Musik gibt’s auch bald wieder! Bis dahin: Hier!

Prraaaaaag! Juhu:

Etwas Besonderes – ein Weihnachtslied

Hier kommt etwas, für mich, sehr Besonderes: Ein Weihnachtslied!

,O Tannenbaum, du trägst ein’ grünen Zweig’         – english below –

Spotify

ITunes

Bevor ich nächstes Jahr weiterhin Musik veröffentliche, die eher Richtung Indie/Alternative/Triphop (insert fancy genre name here 😉 ) geht, möchte ich Euch eine besondere Liveaufnahme aus dem Jahr 2008 vorstellen.

Georgi Gogow (Geiger der Ost-Rock Band City), Rainer Rohloff (Gitarrist von u.a. L’art de passage und Mikis Theodorakis) und ich haben ca. fünf Jahre als Trio zusammengespielt und waren Teil des von Georgi gegründeten Künstlerkollektivs ‚Der wilde Garten‘ (http://derwildegarten.de/historie). Dieses Lied haben wir sogar 2008 im ZDF bei „Weihnachten mit dem Bundespräsidenten“ gespielt.

Nun haben wir uns entschlossen, diese Aufnahme, die uns sehr ans Herz gewachsen ist, nicht in der Schublade verstauben zu lassen, sondern sie mit Euch zu teilen. Wir möchten Euch  eine vorweihnachtliche Freude machen und damit auch unsere damalige,  gemeinsame Zeit ehren.

‚O Tannenbaum, du trägst ein’ grünen Zweig‘ ist ein Volkslied, dessen älteste Überlieferungen aus dem 16.Jh. stammen. Es wird in jüngster Zeit mehr und mehr als Weihnachtslied verstanden.

Wir haben dieses Lied in unser ganz persönliches Gewand gehüllt und mit klassischen, jazzigen und Gipsy Elementen versehen.

Das Interview zum Song und seiner Geschichte, mit Georgi und mir, kann man übrigens in der aktuellen Schall Ausgabe nachlesen.

Wir wünschen Euch eine schöne und besinnliche Vorweihnachtszeit!

Ps: Nein, ich habe keine schwarzen Haare, das Foto ist, wie auch die Aufnahme, von 2008 ;-).

Mix: Rainer Rohloff     Master: Zino Mikorey    Coverfoto (2008): Marco Goldbach


Nachtrag:

Ein letzter Gruß!

Mit schwerem Herzen müssen wir uns von Dir, lieber Rainer, verabschieden.

Als wir die Veröffentlichung geplant haben, hat keiner von uns gedacht, dass Du das nicht mehr miterleben wirst.

Nun fliegt das Lied für Dich und trägt Deine unvergleichliche Hingabe, mit der Du Musik gemacht und gelebt hast, in die Welt hinaus.

Die schönen, gemeinsamen Zeiten, in denen wir zusammen auf der Bühne standen und unbeschreibliche Momente erlebt haben, werden wir immer in uns tragen.

Du warst so eine Bereicherung für uns, als Mensch und als Musiker!

Alles Gute für Deine nächste Reise! Deine Musik wird uns hier noch lange begleiten…

Joro und Valeska


Here’s something special for you: a Christmas Song!

,O Tannenbaum, du trägst ein’ grünen Zweig’

Before I continue to release music next year that rather finds its home in the indie/alternative/trip-hop realm (insert fancy genre name here 😉 ), I want to share this special song with you, recorded live in the year 2008.

Georgi Gogow (violinist of the famous east-german band ‚City‘), Rainer Rohloff (guitarist of (amongst others) L’art de passage and Mikis Theodorakis) and I used to have a band together for about five years that was part of the artist collective ‚Der Wilde Garten‘. We even performed this particular song in front of the former president Horst Köhler on national television ZDF in 2008.

Now we decided to finally release this song to bring you some christmassy joy and to honour our time spent together in this band.

‚O Tannenbaum, du trägst ein’ grünen Zweig‘ is an old traditional German folk song first known of in the 16th century. We gave it our own spin and combined a few genres to do this song and our own musical essences justice.

If you want to find out more about the song and its story there is an interview with Georgi and me in the current Schall Magazin … if you speak German that is ;-).

We wish you a wonderful Christmas season!

Ps: Nope, I don’t have black hair anymore, that picture is also from 2008.

We Are All Astronauts – The Machines

Today I would like to introduce you to the magnificent ‚We Are All Astronauts‘ from Boston whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with on some beautiful music.

The EP ‚The Machines‘ has just been released and I’m so happy to be a part of it. Check out the amazing ambient landscapes on this EP.

I’m so happy to have given my voice and lyrics to the song ‚Ether‘ . It carries me away every time I listen to it and it was so much fun becoming one with this song in order to give it a voice. I used my voice as an instrument on ‚Walls Crumble‚. Enjoy listening!

Here you can read about how Ether came to life.

And there’s lots more to come in the future as we teamed up for more musical treasures…

Heute möchte ich Euch die wunderbaren ‚We Are All Astronauts‘ aus Boston vorstellen. Es war mir solch eine Freude an ihrer tollen Musik mitzuarbeiten.

Die EP ‚The Machines‘ ist heute veröffentlicht worden und ich bin sehr glücklich ein Teil davon zu sein. Hört Euch diese unglaublichen musikalischen Landschaften an.

Ich durfte dem Song ‚Ether‚ meine Stimme und meinen Text schenken und habe einen besonderen Platz für diesen Song in meinem Herzen. Für ‚Walls Crumble‚ habe ich meine Stimme als Instrument spielen lassen. Habt viel Spaß beim Hören.

Hier könnt Ihr nachlesen wie Ether ins Leben gerufen wurde.

Und es wird weitere Kollaborationen mit WAAA in der Zukunft geben…yay!

Whale Song Out Now!

And here it is…the ‚Whale Song‘ is out and on Spotify, Itunes and all the other usual suspects. Yay!

I wrote this song about 10 years ago and could never really figure out what its destination would be…I just knew that it would have its moment one day. And then Alpha Minus came along and wove it into this beautiful arrangement.
It was such a pleasure to breathe new life into the song with the very talented Alpha Minus from Istanbul. And now off you go and listen to the song that sounds like longing, waves and downbeats. Enjoy!

So far the song has been featured on Trip Hop Nation, Reachpresents, and Electronic North. Thank you!

Und da ist er…der ‚Whale Song‘ ist draußen und auf Spotify, Itunes und all den anderen üblichen Plattformen. Juhu!

Diesen Song habe ich bereits vor ca. 10 Jahren geschrieben und wußte nie so richtig, wohin er sich entwickeln möchte, ich wußte nur, dass er seinen Moment bekommen wird…
Und dann traf ich auf Alpha Minus und er hat den Whale Song in dieses wunderschönes Arrangement eingewebt.
Es war so eine Freude diesem Song neues Leben einzuhauchen zusammen mit dem sehr talentierten Alpha Minus aus Istanbul ins Leben zu rufen. Und nun..Song lauschen, er klingt nach Wellen, Sehnsucht und Downbeats. Viel Spaß!

Bisher wurde der Song auf  Trip Hop Nation, Reachpresents und Electronic North gefeatured. Vielen Dank.

Lucky und Luna – das interaktive Kinderbuch

One of my very favourite projects is this wonderful app and audiobook series for children. As well as doing the audio production, I lend my voice to Luna, a very special cat indeed. The recording for the fourth book is beginning soon and I can’t wait. (mehr …)

Menschenlos

Ein paar Gedanken zum allgemeinen Geschehen…

Menschenlos

Struktur, Gebilde, wesenloses Sein
Stehst als Gottesnarr vorm Faun
Verstehst nicht Abel, wirst zum Kain
Mordest Schlangen im Birnenbaum

Mein Gruß der Dummheit Pein
Meine Liebe dem geistleeren Schaum

Schöpfung, Leben, Einfachheit
Stehst als Atlas in der Welt
Trägst das Rund erschwert vom Neid
Wähnst Dich allein unterm Himmelszelt

Mein Dank dem zufriedenen Leid
Meine Liebe dem herzblinden Held

Kränkelnd in der Zeit versunken
Bis zu Chronos’ letztem Stoß
Krächzt Du empört die verlorenen Stunden
Flüchtest Dich in Aphrodites Schoß

Mein Ekel Deinem erwählten Los
Doch meine Liebe deinen Wunden

Schlindwein & Valeska

The record label R.O.T. is celebrating its 18th birthday (Happy Birthday!) and to mark the occasion, they have released a sampler called ‚Berlin Sounds for the Next Decade‘ featuring a variety of different artists.

One of them is a fine young man by the name of Schlindwein who makes electronic piano music. He invited me to be the guest singer on his song ‚Higher‘ which you’ll find on the sampler. The song works perfectly whether it’s Saturday night or Sunday morning—it’s got a lot of soul.
Enjoy the song! I need to recover from that record release party now

Das Label R.O.T. zelebriert gerade seinen 18. Geburtstag (Happy Birthday!) und hat zur Feier des Tages mit vielen verschiedenen Künstlern den Sampler „Berlin sounds for the next decade“ herausgebracht.

Einer von ihnen ist Schlindwein, ein bezaubernder junger Mann, der „Electronic Piano Music“ macht, die sich ganz wunderbar in die Gehörmuschel groovt. Er hat mich eingeladen, bei seinem Song „Higher“zu singen und diesen findet ihr natürlich auch auf dem Sampler. Ebenso perfekt für Samstagnacht wie für Sonntagmorgen bringt er das Tanzbein zum Zucken, macht fürchterlich gute Laune und hat Soul!

Viel Spaß mit dem Song ! Jetzt erhole ich mich noch ein bißchen von der Record Release Party…

Creative Times

bild-news1In the last few years, I have dedicated most of my time to my students and to the great artists who I work with and support in their creative endeavours. Amongst them were Tangowerk, Missincat and Intrasonic, as well as many other singers, songwriters, actors and voice actors. Oh, and not forgetting the first student who I am training to become a singing teacher. I’m very proud to have worked with all of them and am very happy with their success.


Meanwhile, I have worked on numerous projects as an artist myself. For example, there was the children’s audiobook ‚Lucky and Luna in Ancient Egypt‚ written by Aglaia von Kageneck. I play the role of the cat Luna, worked as the recording engineer and did the sound design as well. So if you want to teach your children about ancient Egypt while entertaining them at the same time, check it out.

I also had the honour of being the German voice of the Bard in Dragon Age Inquisition, lending her my voice for both speaking and singing. The fans are really excited about this game – and for anyone who isn’t into video games, why not check it out on YouTube?
Inspired by all the great people I work with and spend time with, as well as all the ideas for songs I’ve had over the last few years, and my travels through Italy, I have started recording my own album. With the support of my wonderful producer, Marian Kuch, and a number of guest musicians who I will introduce at a later date, the album is flourishing and is currently going through its teenage years, so to speak. It’s a lot of fun – and a lot of work – and I’m really looking forward to presenting it to all of you. In the meantime, you can listen to a few of the songs on Soundcloud, along with some music that captures moments I’ve experienced over the last few years.
If you have any questions or are interested in collaborating with me, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Kreative Zeiten

In den vergangenen Jahren habe ich mich vor allem meinen Schülern gewidmet und mit großartigen Künstlern gerabeitet und sie in ihrer Kreativität unterstützt. Mit dabei waren und sind unter anderem die Bands Tangowerk, Missincat und Intrasonic sowie viele weitere Sänger, Songwriter, Schauspieler und Sprecher. Und nicht zu vergessen – die erste Schülerin, die ich zur Gesangslehrerin ausbilde. Ich bin sehr stolz, sie alle begleiten zu können und freue mich über ihre Erfolge!

Währenddessen haben sich aber auch zahlreiche Projekte ergeben, in denen ich als Künstlerin selbst aktiv war: So entstand beispielsweise das wunderbare interaktive von Aglaia von Kageneck geschriebene Kinderhörbuch  „Lucky und Luna im alten Ägypten„, in dem ich die Katze Luna spreche und die Tongestaltung übernommen habe. Wenn ihr eure Kinder nicht nur unterhalten, sondern auch  spielerisch bilden wollt, solltet ihr es euch unbedingt einmal ansehen!

Ich hatte auch die Ehre, in der deutschen Version des Computerspiels Dragon Age Inquisition die Bardin zu singen und zu sprechen. Die Fangemeinde ist bereits vom Spiel begeistert – wer sich nicht für Computerspiele interessiert, kann sich das Ergebnis auch auf Youtube anhören oder findet es hier. (Wie man sich als Bardin so fühlt? Dafür habe ich euch das Bild eingefügt :-))

Inspiriert durch die vielen tollen Menschen, viele lang gehegte Songideen und fertige Songs sowie eine längere Italienreise bin ich nun auch endlich dabei, ein eigenes Album aufzunehmen. Mit Unterstützung meines wunderbaren Produzenten Marian Kuch und etlichen Gastmusikern, die ich später noch präsentieren werde, wächst und gedeiht es und kommt langsam in seine Teenagerjahre. Die Arbeit daran macht mir sehr viel Spaß und ich freue mich schon jetzt darauf, es euch bald vorzustellen. Um die Wartezeit zu verkürzen, könnt ihr hier schon ein paar Songs daraus und Momentaufnahmen der letzten Jahre hören.

Falls ihr Fragen dazu habt oder euch für eine Zusammenarbeit interessiert, könnt ihr euch gerne melden – demnächst werde ich dann endlich auch eine Facebookseite einrichten!

Gedanken


Möbius

Kurz vor der Zeit war der Geist
Und sprach den Fluch
Kurz vor dem Ort war der Moment
Und schuf den Staub

Kurz vor dem Atem war der Gedanke
Und formte den Tod
Der dem Geist kurzen Einhalt gebot

Kurz vor der Schönheit war die Leere
Und schuf das Kind
Kurz vor dem Licht war der Äther
Und führte sich zum neuen Auge

Kurz vor dem Wissen war die Frage
Und rief die Erkenntnis
Die dem Gedanken die Lunge entriss

Kurz vor dem Tor war der Weg
Und bot sich dar
Doch vor der Stille war das Wort
und stahl die Unschuld

Und hier vor der Wahrheit war das Staunen
Und summte im Glück
Und gab der Illusion den Sinn zurück
