The first work “Fernweh” takes the listener on an exciting journey into the genre of modern classical music with all its melancholic facets.

http://www.eartothegroundmusic.co (about the track “Fernweh)

“Every once in a while a neoclassical piece has just enough cinematic charm to win my heart”

www.distopic.it

“Fernweh takes care of the listener right from the start but does not guide him, if anything accompanies him along the tracks, a bit like the discreet friend who is a step back and hopes to see you take the right way.”

www.insidemusic.it:

“Fernweh combines the piano standards with electronics leading Neoclassical in a time closer to us, and along with many others in an unexplored musical universe.”
