![]() This website is dedicated to one of music's most
fascinating personalities: David Sylvian. On my pages you will find a complete discography
of his solo and collaborative work, as well as of his former band Japan. You can learn
much about his work & vision that has inspired me for more than a decade and the
references behind the enigmatic. The beauty of David Sylvian's music and poetry has always
been very special to me. It's been intriguing to follow him on his quest in search for
truth, love and God. His work is balancing between shadow and light, inner struggles and
splendor, hopelessness and surrender. One of his basic understandings is the Tarkovsky
word that in order to emphasize the light you have to put the focus on the shadow, or as
he quotes US poet Robert Hass in the booklet to his latest release Dead Bees on a Cake:
"If we make a poem of celebration, it has to include a lot of darkness for it to be
real". Down below you will also find a link to my other site that is paying tribute to my favorite French chanteuse Patricia Kaas. This site is still under contruction and will, I'm afraid, be for quite a long time. The other link "Lebenslinien" takes you to my personal file that's currently in German only. |
