New Songs On Sunday

 

Hello everyone, I'm back after my self-imposed time-out in South East Asia. I had a wonderful time recharging my batteries, thinking about many things and making plans for the current year. To give my life a purpose, last autumn I took on a reading mentorship at a primary school to teach young people, most of whom have a migration background, the German language so that they have a better start in life. In addition, I will be working several days a week at the cash desk in a local outdoor pool during the summer months. Just to have a bit more structure and fixed appointments. It remains to be seen whether I will then find the time to help out occasionally in a property management company. I will also have to look for a new flat in the next few months as my apartment is being sold. So there's a lot to do and I won't get bored.

I haven't listened to much music over the last few weeks. Neither old nor new and I've been wondering whether I should stop this blog, as I've often lost inspiration over the past year. But I will continue until I make another decision or realize that interest in my music has waned.

Back to music. My inbox is overflowing and I'm currently sorting through most of it. One release fascinated me. Tunng, a British band that has been making music for over twenty years, returns to their roots with Love You All Over Again and skilfully combines electronic sounds with folk and samples. What is actually unimaginable, they manage to do amazingly well in an impressive way. The songs radiate a harmonious and warm atmosphere that sounds like they're out of time. A good record for the current year.
