I have many musical roots, but each delves into another soil. I love the chants of the european high culture as well as the hook lines of excellent pop songs or the electronic soundscapes of ambient music. I find my material in the melancholy of the Portuguese Fado as well as in the catchy tunes of the German Volkslied. The neo-classical cool of the Scandinavian north is in my music just as the whirling rush born from the Viennese Waltz.

Often, I don’t understand why this or that musical material comes into my mind, demanding to be used. As a composer I want to be not in the way but give a form to what flows up from the roots, edging towards the light. My task is to let it all blossom. These blossoms have many hues, many shapes. But they all are nourished by the spirit of melody – and by the yearning to be touched, to touch others, to touch you.

In this spirit, a warm welcome,
Lyhrus.
