It´s been a while since my last post.
Actually my life is a bit upside down and time for music is short. Though I´m missing it a lot. The bad news is my second album will get delayed for a while. The good news is that I try to finish an EP hopefully in the first half of the year. It will contain two new songs and at least 3 remixes of those two.
I hope you are all well and I wish you the best!
Actually I'm preparing the concert on 2nd of November. I'm really looking forward to this concert after the great concert in May. Rehearsals already started! Torsten Bugiel (Drums), Hartmus Frost (Guitar), Micha Meza (Keys) and Myriam (Backing Vocals) will join me again on stage!
On Wednesday this week I will record further vocals for the second album. Enchanting Samira Saygili will lend me her voice in addition!
The second album is also progressing in its production. It will include 12 songs; 11 of those are already pre-produced, while we have complete drums, guitars and bass recorded for 6 of them, and for 2 vocals are ready as well as almost completely mixed. With some luck we will also have the guitar recordings done in July.
One song made it onto this album only thanks to you! I have received many messages from fans all over the world and in places, where I had no idea that my songs could travel there. In particular in one message from a fan in Mexico I got asked me about the song "Stood" - a very, very old song of mine. Thanks to this feedback, “Stood” is in production for the next album. Many greetings to Mexico!
To celebrate the release and let me play those songs live - to you - we have organised a concert in Cologne on the 18th of May this year.
So, safe the date for now and look out for more news in the next weeks.
Poponaut.com was so kind and highlighted the album as album of the month, which led to quite a buzz in orders. Very much looking forward to hear more reviews from buyers like: "incredibly good album. a lot of very good songs. very nice discovering."
Hope you like it too and keep it up.
A wonderful review about the album is out. Read it (in German only) on Polyprisma.
"The free play along the frontiers of different music genres, allows the album to be very diversivied. The strong effects by the acoustic guitar in “Final retreat” and the more folky “Amazing” show that Highersense does not want to be placed in a single genre. Falling back on stringed instruments and the dynamically rhythms are clearly rocking, remind positive on A-ha or camouflage, without imitating it."
With the release of the album approaching, the stir is increasing - not only I am excited about it, I hope so are you.
To reach the wider audience, who don't know about this project yet, there are already some videos/ short clips out on YouTube for the songs.
Check them out there and let me know what you think.
We are getting closer to the release of the album, which means that the 2nd single is out now: Open Waters!
Listen to it below in the player or get it here
And here we go - your personal journey can start by downloading the first single from the new album - while the album is now on pre-order and the first fan article is available, so you can say:"I was one of the first fans of Highersense and all I bought was this wonderful mug!".
