...Often there are no concrete plans, but usually a single sound is enough to ignite the spark. At that point, a momentum of its own begins to develop. One decision leads to the next...

Oh right, I almost forgot to briefly introduce the new album by Pepo Galán, Markus Guentner, and myself—titled "Obreel"—here...
It’s been available on Bandcamp for a month, and as of today, it’s also available in other stores and ready for streaming...
The CD is definitely classier than a Spotify link... :-)
