2024 was for me the year to look inwards and address in my work a couple of personal, somewhat uncomfortable subjects, something I wanted to do for a long time. This double-album is the result of this process. My deep gratitude goes to Benedikt Müller, Hans Martin Müller, Thomas Baerens, Csaba Kézér, Hermann-Christoph Müller, Stefan Deistler, Pavel Borodin, Erhard Hirt, Alex Minkin, Maciej Karlowski, Semafor and all the musicians who made it possible.

The fate of my grandfather was shared by countless victims of the regime. The concluding piece deals with the arrest, torture and execution, but also serves as a Requiem for all the fallen.
