re-launch: glashaut music mixes

re-launch: glashaut music mixes - february.

i haven't been posting these mixes for quite some time even though i still created them every month. i recently decided to get some time off of my tumblr account ( where i posted them regularly ) and now that this platform is crossed out for a while i decided to revive it on this little blog again. i also do want to make a change on here and posting more often. let's see how i will keep that promise, though. i think there won't be too much of a change though, the content will probably stay the same, my own personal diary. maybe i will spice it up with a monthly link carousel, like i did in my very early years of blogging on here. and of course, i want to post my music mixes again. and here is the latest one from february.

glashaut music mix: feb. '15 - i just don't know what to do with myself. from glashaut. on 8tracks Radio.

february - the month of waiting. waiting for winter to be over, waiting for the first blossoms to bloom, waiting for the hibernation to end. you don't know what to do with yourself but getting yourself lost in your own mind, and it's never too good to get lost in a brain that fears too much. as soon as the first sunrays start to shine, you get out to catch them, to let them brighten your heart and mind, to scare the monsters away. hope is high that maybe this time you will scare them for good.

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...

may '20: seeking modernism.

super pink rhododendron buds emerging! i start off this post with some flower images to appreciate and praise the time of spring, especially the month of may, which is the most abundant spring month to me personally. all the blossoms, all the fresh greens amass during may, and my heart and mind are hardly ever able to not frolick & gush about it all! for this post i am returning to one walk i did with the sole purpose to find a special mid-century villa in königstein ( which would ultimately prove to be a failure - i did find it, but i couldn't approach it properly to have a good look at it and only ever saw a tiny bit of the garden/forest side ). the whole walk was not a letdown, though, as i did find some other mid-century & brutalism gems and thoroughly enjoyed walking through the old spa town in the taunus mountains. rhododendron shrubs yield all kinds of different blossoms in myriad colours, they are easy to breed, therefore a wide variety can be found all over the wor...

november: thuringian forest.

the day we visited the thuringian forest near luisenthal we would also receive the death notice of my cousin. while the day in luisenthal was pretty magic - i even found a goat skull to take home for my not so fast growing skull collection - the time we got home and received the phone call of my grandmother, everything went dull. we always had hoped for him to recover - over the course of his sickness there were multiple times we'd thought he was on his way up, but that also counted for the times it was clear that the cancer was severe and probably not defeatable. in the end he fought four years, but he couldn't conquer. his constant optimism & general good will wasn't enough as his body decided to give up on him. i'm still thinking a lot about him, he was such a good natured guy, always seeing the good in everything and everyone. it's so strange to know that he's never going to be on any future family party gathering again. we discussed so many things whe...
