Living and recording in Berlin

Moving to Berlin seemed like a big thing some time ago. It was not. For a month now, I've been living in Neukölln and feel at home.
This is Solo, the cd especially made for Germany is due out in January. The press is offered the record for review, around now. And I'm exited to be able to play some shows next month.
In Berlin I'm preparing for these concerts. Practicing my German and getting the feel of the country. Another opportunity that arose making plans for my stay, was recording in Andere Baustelle, the recording studio of Einstürzende Neubauten. Getting a visit of my good friend a balladeer I asked him to join me in writing songs together. And we do! More experimental than we've ever done. Drone like music. Single chords songs. Really, really amazing stuff!
By the way Marinus (a balladeer) is playing a Livingroom show tomorrow night. Check here: here.
