Lebensessenz - Tu, deorum hominumque tyranne, Amor!

My friend Lohmann made me a very special proposal: to create questions that I could answer, about the project Lebensessenz. Emerged in other activities, I needed a time to start something, during a travel, on which I could express better my ideas: a text about it.

There are times that we're with an impulse to create anything, without any pretention to give a continuous path. There are moments that we want to use the art just as a kind of temporary and instantaneous escape. Thus was with me.

In the winter of 2003, in a night, I was improvising notes in a keyboard that I got as a gift on my childhood. And I recorded, on that moment, my first demo. It was not something that I really wanted to stay doing. It was just an expression of a feeling, in solitude’s night. Thus, I called the project as Lebensessenz, because that composition was a part of my life - part of the essence of my life. My first work was created: "Einsamkeit, Hass und Dunkelheit sind meine Lebensessenz" (Solitude, Hate and Darkness are the essence of my life). These were the components of my 17th's years old, when I was doing my first steps with the music. On that time, I have recorded also in cassette some other melodies. Mysteriously, during a night of insomnia, I found these tapes completely destroyed, on the corridor of where I live. Then, I got no chances to hear them again.

I felt like it's time to introduce some more neo-classical or in this case some sweet piano music to the blog. I bet a lot of people allready know about Lebensessenz. A guy from Brasil recording some very fine stuff. Give this a spin once in a while when you have the need to don't feel all that grim ;)
