New Release: CD “Inspiration”

“In times of uncertainty, insecurity and pain, the only places we can charge our batteries to stay alive are nature and music from which we can withdraw.” 

– Myriam Hidber Dickinson

From baroque to contemporary, these Compositions for the Solo Flute are inspired by nature, showing the flute from all its tonal facets.

As you listen to the CD INSPIRATION, it will lead you to an imaginary peaceful and meditative walk in nature, where the rhythm of your surroundings and the music of the environment guide you. Perhaps you’re seeking an experience where each step feels like a melody, where the sounds of nature—wind, birds, rustling leaves, the singing of a river —become a symphony that will nourish your spirit.

Through my music I can tell people a musical story that brings a moment of joy, contentment, tranquillity; a moment of pausing, dreaming, hoping; a moment when time and place are not important, a moment when the whole room breathes in the same rhythm.

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” 

– Plato 

Why Did I Create the CD INSPIRATION?

There was once a beautiful summertime that was filled with profound personal challenges and an uplifting connection to the world around me. If you could imagine the sense of contrast—between caring for a loved one who was ill and finding at the same time moments of inspiration, peace, and creation. The magical word for this process is The Magic of Music and the Power of Nature. From the delicate morning light to the nourishing sounds of birds and the peacefulness of my surroundings, it was as if I drew strength from the simplicity and beauty of life itself, all while planning something as powerful as a CD.

My connection to the world of music is not just a passion but a lifeline, a way of navigating through the complexities of life, love, and loss. Maybe I can hear while playing the flute echoes of the very essence of life: fleeting, fragile, and yet incredibly beautiful. My creativity and reflections have served me as a path forward, a way to channel both the sorrow and joy that life brings.

It’s a powerful reminder that even in times of care and hardship, there’s always space for renewal, creation, and reflection.
