At that time, the world was recovering from the COVID lockdown, and we hadn't been able to play live music for quite some time. Fortunately, we were able to go on an extensive release tour to promote our music, growing closer as a band along the way. We learned a lot about each other, both musically and personally. Our trio has always been about connecting -- with the audience, with the music, and with each other. This intense period strengthened these connections, resulting in a powerful band that is elevating the music to new heights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring this time, I began composing new music specifically tailored to our trio's chemistry. I knew exactly how to write to bring out the best in Lieven, Gabriele, and the band. This is the new music on Waiting for a Summer Storm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album became a collection of moods, reflecting the deep connection between music and emotions. Each track tells a different story: from the excitement of sudden insight in Epiphany to the calm acceptance of fate in Waiting for a Summer Storm. Reflecting captures moments of introspection, while Green Garden celebrates joy. Apollo's Daydream is about chasing your dreams, and Shadow Song is my tribute to my wife, Inge. Dauntless embodies the feeling of being unstoppable, and Chez Lydia captures the thrill of playing live with an audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWaiting for a Summer Storm is more than an album; it's a reminder of how strong music is. Each piece serves as a portal into the collective consciousness of the trio. It's a tribute to new beginnings, to adventures yet to come, to dreams waiting to take flight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54420518371713,"sku":"2436068","price":23.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0608917357721.jpg?v=1750593166","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2436068","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
