Period of Orientation

 May, 2011
Without Rüdiger the Flight Crew will not be able to perform 'Simple Song' the way it was meant to be. At the moment I am working on a new concept for my music. Being on an adventurous trip, listening to myself and to music that has been there before - going deeper into Jazz - compounding, putting puzzle-pieces together, composing and looking for landmarks of inspiration, rearranging 'Simple Song' for future performances and writing tunes every day. As soon as there will be any song available you'll find it here on this side, You-Tube or MySpace. Take care!

Rüdiger Klose dies.

Discography

summer 2010
A records company for 'Simple Song' has not yet been found. I have to learn that the infrastructure of music business has completely changed and that the ways my music used to go from inside to the public don't work any longer. So I'm busy learning about new strategies for publishing music.
