This studio release is dedicated to the Lonely Pilot. Lost in storm clouds, lost in the desert, or lost amongst men these heroes followed the path into eternity. Close to the sun, close to their gods, with wings of steel they became immortal.
The CD is a sonic homage to these lonely falcons struggling with the elements, observing nature, acting in silence. Acoustic tracks with guitars, accordion, violin, violoncello, bass, and drums presenting English and German vocals express the emptiness of a soul lost in the heights of the skies or in the depths of the desert.
The CD comes in Digipak with a 16-page booklet.
Also released as gatefold LP, limited to 500 copies with golden coloured vinyl.
"Schicksalsfahrt" is dedicated to the life and death of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry & Amelie Hedwig Beese.
