HIGHERSENSE

MUSIC IS A JOURNEY

Somewhere a single tone ends the silence. The tone grows into a melody, sometimes a theme. Maybe a voice joins in – to complete a song. But who knows what was before the silence?
Maybe there was another song before? It could be that a flaming crescendo burned up the last sounds of what has been before the silence. But every song is a new beginning, maybe articulating hope for the future. maybe not. But it will end for sure in silence before the journey starts again.
Like the phoenix from the ashes.
This is the journey you are invited to join.

The release of the first studio album “Half way between” was on 20th of October 2017. Produced and mastered by Olaf Wollschläger.
HIGHERSENSE already has an astonishing history, as between 2009 and 2012 it won as band 3x consecutively the WDR competition “Musik-Scene NRW”. Which led to an increasing popularity and a big concert.

After this it went a bit more quite around HIGHERSENSE, which allowed to re-think the project and led to the decision to continue as a solo project.

Meanwhile the EP “Signals – inciting to look beyond” was released on 21st of August 2021 which started in the “German Alternative Charts” on the fifth position and remained for eight weeks in the charts.

And a second studio album is being worked on.
The atmospheric synthie-pop shows the skills as singer and songwriter, which allows us to enjoy the music and join the journey.

Isabel Walker

Isabel lent her voice to “One/bound” and “Open waters”, which was instrumental in making these two pieces two of the album´s pre-eminent songs. Her voice harmonizes in a special way with the main voice, which could be due to the fact that she is Daniel´s sister.

Isabel lieh “One/bound” ihre Stimme und trug dadurch sehr dazu bei, diese beiden Stücke zu zwei der herausstechenden Songs des Albums zu machen. Ihre Stimme harmoniert in besonderer Weise mit der Hauptstimme, was nicht zuletzt auch daran liegen könnte, dass Sie die Schwester Daniels ist.
