The original soundtrack score material for the several award winning radio play “Sternsprung”, first transmitted 1992 on the German WDR station!
Chill-Out with content: the listener expects a musical journey into the depths of the ocean in the spirit of creative ecology and wholistic nature. This album also documents how the examination of Ingo Golembiewski’s text is drifting forward the musical idea of “Cosmic Baby”: Many of it is incorporated as inspiration into the later first main work “StellarSupreme”.

THOUGHTS
15 years later –A work that was never been sent by public broadcast.
Sabine had written a sensational text. We decided to make a radio play out of it. Our friend Wilfried Hochholdinger spontaneously joined us. He approached great actor colleagues and won them over for the project. In February we made the voice recordings in my loft. From March on editing, music and mix followed with Wolfgang Ragwitz.
“In a second, twenty-four pictures. The memory is faster, much faster … A perpetual alsways on: ever. State of apparent clarity. History in the dissonant loop of recurring events “.
That`s how the radio play begins. It is about EVERYTHING:
Memory,
Success,
Love,
Anxiety,
Relationship,
Money,
Beauty,
Politics,
Illness,
Internet,
Age,
Expectations,
Media,
Life,
Death,
Struggle,
Consumption,
Illusion,
Hope,
News,
Advertising,
sparkle,
Print,
War,
Roll,
Believe,
fragmentation,
History,
Dreams.
The radio play dissolves in the digital Nirvana noise: “Self-deception of the everything-becomes-good. Until the happy ending brings something new. Still, I think … I think … I … chh … hhh … ”
The radio play was rejected by all leading radio play editors. If you listen to today`s features & radio plays, then that seems almost incomprehensible. We were too far ahead of our time in terms of technology, sound, content and courage. It was too defiantly radical, it lacked the “chic-pleasing” and, above all, we probably lacked an intrepid advocate in the broadcasters.
TOO BAD!
