geisternatur music mix: june '22 - sun skiff melodies for emerging astronauts.

 with a very belated playlist i return to posting my monthly music documentations. i have to admit, that assembling these to be some coherent pleasures to listen to, takes a lot of work, and i didn't feel much like putting that effort into it the last couple of months. but recently i realized that i miss creating these, because the process also helped me to immerse myself in the music and actually listening more deeply again. with not creating my playlists anymore, the music i listened to over the course of a month, started to fade away into the distance, and my life was more soundless. which is a shame, because i have always loved music and finding myself in it. music for me is an essential tool to process things in my life, to understand situations or just simply my own existence and how i view the world. and that kind of got lost as soon as i stopped focussing on intentionally listening to melodies for the purpose of playlist creation.

anyway, here's a playlist from the month of june for your listening pleasure :)

synopsis: when your heart's a mess & your teeth hurt, making you question how you died, the ghost, who is coyote woman, sends out her children on a sun skiff, & with a touch of higher melodies, lets them gun down incubating succubi &  you will emerge an astronaut walking away from the the season of ugly sensitivities & deadlines.

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...
