The Story
Somehow everything happened very fast this time. I decided to create „Train Ticket“ in the beginning of the year 2012 .
Fortunately Rafael Klitzing of Echolux Studio was disposed to record the project. We quickly determined our
working method: to record live and to use only a minimum of overdubs. We wanted to catch our sound as genuine as possible and to maintain our own atmosphere. We shot two or three takes per song, this had to be enough! Being on a tight budget also meant that there was no room for extensive editing afterwards. „Shoot, that solo was supposed to go in another direction!!“ The Recordings are honest and I already love this album just because of that.

Die Story
Irgendwie ging diesmal alles ganz schnell. Anfang 2012 faßte ich den Entschluss, „Train Ticket“ zu
realisieren. Glücklicherweise war Rafael Klitzing vom Echolux Studio bereit, die ganze Geschichte aufzunehmen.
Die Arbeitsweise kristallisierte sich schnell heraus. Die Titel sollten Live eingespielt und Overdubs nur an wenigen Stellen verwendet werden. Wir wollten unseren Sound so direkt wie möglich einfangen, unsere eigene
Atmosphäre entstehen lassen. Zwei bis drei Takes pro Titel, dann sollte was dabei sein (auch hinsichtlich des wie immer begrenzten Budgets). Hieß natürlich, daß man keine große Möglichkeit hatte, hinterher viel Kosmetik zu betreiben. „Mist, das Solo wollt ich eigentlich anders spielen!“ (O-TON)
Die Aufnahmen sind ehrlich und genau wegen diesem Charakter ist mir die CD schon jetzt ans Herz gewachsen.
