about

For my debut album "PROJEKT WELTWEIT" I traveled around the world and recorded eight songs in eight different metropolises (Seoul, Paris, Los Angeles, Reykjavik, among others). For the goal of capturing the sound of each country, I have teamed up with local musicians. I have already released three singles from the project, each with a music video.

The fourth single "WIMPERNSCHLAG" (recorded in Shanghai) is a homage to inner freedom and criticizes the (now hopefully old) system we live in. The song wants to encourage us to dream and thus create a new system. Which world do you wish for? Personally, I wish for a world in which humanity, justice, peace, equality, and freedom are not just an empty phrase but the basis for a collective appreciative togetherness.

lyrics

WIMPERNSCHLAG
(verbotene Stadt)
Nur ein kleiner Wimpernschlag,
wir sind müde Eure Welt zu seh'n!
Bau'n uns uns're verbotene Stadt,
Unser eig'nes System.

Chorus:
Ein kleiner Wimpernschlag,
öffne Deine Tür,
Zu Deiner verbotenen Stadt.
Nur ein kleiner Wimpernschlag,
Dein neues Leben,
Im Kaiserreichpalast.

Wir sind nette Marionetten,
Die Augen fallen zu!
Mehlsäcke an den Lidern,
Sandmann streut immerzu.

Chorus
Bridge (ooohm)

Wie rote Armee Gardisten,
Hinter uns her marschiert.
Nur ein Wimpernschlag in die Freiheit,
Das ist das, was passiert!

about

Katja von Bauske Hamburg, Germany

Für das Album Projekt wurde jeder Song in 8 Metropolen (u.a. Seoul, L.A. Paris) mit lokalen Musikern eingespielt. Das Ergebnis ist entsprechend musikalisch vielfältig von mal rockig, mal zart – den Ort anmutend - ohne dabei Klischees zu erfüllen. Das Album entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit John Haywood.

In der Reportage „die singende Flugbegleiterin“ (NDR) wurde darüber im Mai 2019 berichtet. ... more
