The title should describe an exemption on two levels. On the one hand, it was “getting rid” of a creative idea that I had been carrying around with me for a very long time and on the other hand, this virus that had held this planet hostage since 2020. I studied classical guitar and jazz, but I also studied Indian and African music for years and decades. All of these inspirations flow into the compositions and arrangements of “The Riddance”. This album wants to show that music can never stand alone, but always reflects the inner and outer influences of the creators. With my music I want to capture the exciting, the beautiful, the new and interesting of these influences!
