my voice is/
my home and the most beautiful/ connection between my mind and my body, it is/
the flowing of my mind/
in space / as space/
through sound / as sound, it is/ the constructive combination/
of the space of my mind, limited/
by the walls/ the borders of my un-/consciousness/
and the physical space/ my body, limited/
by its flexible walls/ the borders/
its inside capacity to expand and its inside energy to move on:'i call myself/
an orphean head/
swimming on the stream of data/
my body members in the icy water/
i sing to warm/
myself in the sound'. juliane gabriel
Hallo Juliane, vielen lieben Dank fürs Annehmen! Ich komme am Freitag vielleicht in die Arcaden. Du solltest deine Konzerte auch immer in den Terminkalender eintragen! Liebe Grüße! Hans
Hallo Juliane, ich wünsche dir friedliche Weihnachtsfesttage und alles Gute für 2009. Danke für die schöne Musik und die vielen schönen Stunden auf deinen Konzerten in SL in diesem Jahr, ich hoffe, dass es im kommenden Jahr so weiter geht :-)
Some reviews posted on http://macjams. com about our duet on "Wayfaring Stranger" : "sigh - this is just absolutely beautiful! Juliane's voice is simply exquisite. Guitar accompaniment is sublime. Thanks you two!" - magnatone "Ahhhh ....what a gorgeous song ...awesome singing ..deep and spiritual ..!really the guitar with the bass gave a real touch to the vocal to spread .. and feel alive ...so deep so thoughtful ...thnx alot for sharin such gem !!!!" - Feter "Juliane's voice carries a half-concealed homesickness that gives this authenticity. The guitars give such a beautiful background, too." - kristyjo "This is lovely. The voice is beautiful and the guitar is delicately delightful. Very nice." - richard13 Have a look at http://macjams. com/song/48495 Merry Christmas :-) Plein de bises !
Dei Konzert heute in Eolus war mal wieder traumhaft. Mach dir keine Sorgen um Playlists und was kommt als nächstes - das ist immer alles ganz prima und könnte nicht schöner sein. Danke für den Sonntag abend. Liebe Grüße auch von Meerkat Messerchmitt (heute da gewesen) :-)
I can not tell you how much I enjoyed your singing last weekend. Your knowledge provided a fantastic background to your songs. Looking forward to hearing you again.
What a wonderful time we had in Berlin ! And what a duet... your wonderful voice fits so well with my guitar ;-) I hope we can record soon these pieces we worked :-))
