Influences
"...when we finally know we are dying, and all other sentient beings are dying with us, we start to have a burning, almost heartbreaking sense of the fragility and preciousness of each moment and each being, and from this can grow a deep, clear, limitless compassion for all beings". Sogyal Rinpoche:
EVERY BEING WHO HAS TOUCHED MY HEART HAS CHANGED THE WAY I SING:
THEY ARE MY GREATEST INFLUENCE. On Different Planes at Different Times.
Sounds Like
raindrops on a hot tin roof, breaking off a piece of velvety dark chocolate, licking off icicles, laying underneath a big steinway while a friend plays, golden silence, a warm quilt as it tucks you into bed, and old indian drum, whales and dolphins singing, you tell me.
I am a singer/songwriter/ producer based in Berlin, Germany.
Last two CDs Paths X and Pages of Sand are doing well. Paths X has charted top ten many times at Reverbnation, soundclick, isound, American Idol, Artist Underground, etc.. and plays on Am / Fm radio and about 400 podcasts... My work is top 10 in Germany on the My Space Easy Listening charts... and top twenty in Jazz.>Top 50 in the acoustic charts. Lovely for an indie musician riding the winds of the music business and following my own unique vision which is free from labels and supported by honest fans. If you are interested in performing my music, working together on collaborations or using it in film, television or creating videos etc... please contact my management - Mr. Craig Urquhart at craigurquhart@aol.com. I welcome you.
I am currently working on 4 exciting projects.

Liner Notes by Howard Mandel, president of the Jazz Journalists Association and senior contributor DOWNBEAT magazine:
“Best of 1st International Jazz Solo Piano Festival 2009 institutes a high standard for international solo jazz piano”
“Mathias Claus, Bob Albanese and Ayako Shirasaki are devoted, virtuosic, daring and expressive pianists, who together assured that personal, spontaneous interpretation of classic repertoire was the focus of the 1st International Jazz Solo Piano Festival. …”
Dear Friend, finally it is out! The LONG expected release of our EP "Interrupted (Triptych I)" !!!
"you wonder why get interrupted / was life too fast / the nights too long / you give a fuck / get interrupted / you want no break / keep speeding on..."
Watch the music video, created by the young & wild Japanese video artist Yukihiro Taguchi. Be Surprised! You will also find some wicked REMIXES on Youtube and iTunes ;-)
Learn more about our current project "Triptych I-III" on our MySpace site...
Ananias was a Christ disciple in Damascus, to whom Jesus came in a vision and gave detailed instructions including what street (Straight Street) and what house (Judas' house) to go to in order to lay hands on Saul so that Saul would receive his sight back. Jesus was telling Ananias to go help the man who came to town to throw him in prison and would like to murder him. Wow, what an instruction and what a step of obedience by a Christ follower!
Straight Street (or in Latin, Via Recta), is the Roman street that runs from east to west in the old city of Damascus. It was visited by St. Paul as mentioned in the story of Paul's conversion to Christianity in Acts 9:10-19
Ananias Chapel in the basement of the Ananias house, Damascus
When Ananias arrives, he specifically addresses Saul as “brother”. What an example of the love and forgiveness that are fruit of a Christ follower’s life. Saul received his sight after Ananias (his enemy) laid his hands on him and he followed Christ that day.
Happy Friday 13th! Energy is neither good nor bad, it is how we decide to use that energy that defines who we are and the kind of experiences we have. Friday 13th is a powerful day, but not one to be feared. We must always remember that whatever we think about we will attract into our lives. By keeping our thoughts positive and proactive this powerful stream of energy can be used to bring good things into our lives. So don’t face today with fear but look at it as a day as any other filled with possibilities, it is a powerful day none the less so choose to use the energy wisely! Have a wonderful day and weekend too:-)
They don't follow the fashion Latest trend, no reaction State of the world's affairs Seem indifferent, but really care Self-reliance what its all about Don't need it, you do without In the balance of the universe Doesn't matter could be worse ....."Exceptionally Cool".....

To celebrate our first 27 releases on Section 27 Netlabel, we proudly present to you "Sectioned", a compilation of 27 tracks, amounting to 2 hours across two discs of twisted electronic beats, discordant melodies, haunting passages, broken ambience, bending senses of time and space, microscopic glitches, pounding bass frequencies, sounds between sounds, the human voice and the audible sensation of music dissolving in acid. This is the sound of your mind's eye. This is the sound of the Sectioned... Strap yourself in and enjoy the experience.
Also features a 75 minute bonus disc "Sectioned : Nonimxs", including 9 remixes of selected Section 27 artists by Nonima and 2 original tracks created by Silent Snow and Nina Kardec using existing Nonima tracks.
