The developer applause at the end says it all – when the most jaded rabble in the entertainment industry shows that kind of support, you know you have something special.

We are overwhelmingly happy to announce the arrival of our beautiful little boy, Alexis Orion, who joined us yesterday at 3:55 pm. It was quite a day! We woke up early (for us), before 7, and looked out the window to see this sunrise, certainly one of the most amazing I have seen. While I was busy snapping pictures of it, Athanasia kind of said “hey… this is… umm…. different” and not long after we were on our way to meet our midwife at the Geburtshaus (‘birth house’). 8 hours later we were holding this little munchkin in our arms.
And I’m afriaid it’s true, every word: there is no other experience quite like this in the world…

So, as per last week’s post, I am proud to finally unveil samples from our forthcoming inaugural Stillness3 album, tentatively titled Sitembile (an African word meaning ‘trust’). There are four samples online. Check them out! Preferably with a decent sound system to get the full impact of the lovely hall we recorded in and the magnificent Steinway concert grand… not to mention, of course, the rather long hours of editing, mixing and mastering that I have been putting in over here. Am I fishing for appreciation here? maybe, but more importantly I just want people to hear this music, ’cause I think it’s pretty neat stuff. ‘Nuff said.

Hey all, tobias here. Just to abuse my posting privileges with some more of my usual shameless self-promotion, I thought I’d mention that Athanasia hasn’t been the only one cooking something up over here. In addition to doing my father-to-be duties, I’ve been in the studio (above, a friend’s mixing suite) working on something I am really pretty proud of as well.
I posted a while back about my most recent musical project, Stillness3 (pronounced “Stillness trio” for those in the know), a kind of minimalist jazz/meditative/ambient concept group. I also linked to some samples of our preliminary jam session. Well, now would be a good time to check those out if you haven’t already, since in a very short time (as soon as I finalize the mixes) they will be removed and replaced by samples from our completed first album, which are MUCH BETTER and sound gorgeous and lush due to the stunning 9 foot Steinway concert grand and the fabulous acoustics of the Ballhaus Naunynstr, the lovely old hall we recorded in… and the collection of vintage and premium mics and preamps we assembled for the purpose. I’m really excited about these tracks, folks, and I sincerely hope you’ll dig them too and spread the word far and wide… I’ll post again when they’re up and running!
