I feel very blessed to be part of this collaboration! Despite of the huge distance between all of us we feel so close at least.
I suppose there is a special bond between us musicians which carries us especially in “special” times. 🙏❤️

Over 60 musicians participated in this masterpiece, composed and written by Lev Kershner. With the performance of those great musicians as Noa Gruman (Scardust), Linus Klausenitzer (Obscura), Alex Landenburg (Kamelot), Ben Christo (The Sisters of Mercy), Moran Magal and Yanai Avnet. Additional with a giant choir from all over the world and from well-known Rock and Metal choirs.

I was allowed to participate with a whole string quartet and to add my own electric violin solo.

Violins: the classical black “Elena” from Carbon fibre by Carbon Klang and the electric black “Novita” (five-string) by Gewa Strings. Strings by Thomastik-Infeld.

At home for a couple of weeks? The kids at home? Trying not to go crazy?

In my new series I will try to give away some ideas to find some valuable activities for everyone. Simple and for free. [This series is in German, but I added English subtitles.]
Feel welcome to join me and to subscribe to my cannel.

I wish you and all of us all the best!

So the first of our concerts of Subway to Sally’s “Hey!”-Tour are postponed yet- And I am quite sure we can assume, that the rest of the concerts will be cancelled by “higher positions” as well. The band is working hard at the moment to find perfect solutions for our situation, to postpone concerts to fall 2020 for instance.

We are asking for your patience and hope, you all will go healthy through Corona-time. We are looking forward to seeing you in autumn!

And my deepest respect to our management and booking for their great effort in this moment!

Here it is!!! And I am excited to be the one, who got featured together with my gorgeous buddy, the five-string electric violin “Novita 3.0” of GEWA company. What an honor!!

Many thanks to everyone, who helped to create such an awesome video: Lasse Lammert made the beautiful sound effects on my violin. Alec Koff created the playbacks, which I used to write this song “Two faced lady”. Florian Döring filmed and cut such a great short-film and the location “Jams Hotel” in Munich offered its breathtaking place.

We used only the great violin strings of Thomastik-Infeld in this video.

Here she is in all variations: the beautiful „Novita 3.0“ by Gewa company. First as a four-string model in many various colors, the company developed additional a five-string model.

At the yesterday’s video shoot I was allowed to introduce my matt black five-string violin, which accompanied me already at our last tour “Eisheilige Nacht” 2019 of Subway to Sally.

I am not only enchanted by the dreamy design of the instrument, but especially by it’s warm and natural sound. Which becomes complete with strings by Thomastik-Infeld. I additional discovered, that my guitar effect pedals love this instrument and give me a higher margin at composing sounds, than I am used to.

Hopefully I can show you this nice effect within one of my next violin video blog episodes: #TheRockViolinVlog on YouTube

We shot our video at the incredible and music addicted hotel „Jams“ in Munich. Just visiting the bar is worth a trip there.

Many thanks for having me, dear GEWA! It is a great honor!
