Songstories

Hier erzähle ich die Geschichten hinter meinen Folkstücken, teile Session-Notizen, Bauprojekte aus der Werkstatt und Tipps zur Pflege akustischer Instrumente.

A minimalist, overhead photographic view of a weathered pine tabletop arranged with objects of folkmusic and outdoor life: a compact wooden travel dulcimer, a small brass compass with a gently tarnished lid, a folded topo map showing winding river lines, and a coil of natural fiber rope. The dulcimer’s strings catch soft morning light from an unseen nearby window, creating fine linear reflections, while the map’s surface shows subtle creases and muted earth-tone colors. Shadows are soft and controlled, suggesting an overcast sky or diffused studio lighting. The composition uses calm negative space and precise alignment, with sharp focus across the frame, crafting a sophisticated yet understated visual story about hand-built music, navigation, and adventure near rivers and lakes.

Sessions hören
A finely crafted wooden workbench on a lakeside cabin porch, its surface covered with delicate curly wood shavings and a partially carved folk mandolin body made from pale maple and rich walnut. Several well-worn hand tools—chisels, a small brass plane, a bone-handled knife—rest neatly to one side. Beyond the porch railing, deep blue water ripples gently, catching streaks of late afternoon golden light. The scene is photographed in warm, low-angle sunlight that emphasizes wood grain and tool patina, casting elongated, gentle shadows. Captured from a slightly elevated angle with balanced, asymmetrical framing, the focus falls sharply on the instrument and tools while the water and distant tree line soften into a tasteful bokeh, conveying a sophisticated yet rustic atmosphere of patient, handmade craftsmanship by the water.
