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.

november: kickelhahn, himmelblau & weimar cemetery.

i had a week off in november and visited my parents ( as i often do on my vacations ). on a sunday morning we headed to the thuringian forest to climb onto the peak of the kickelhahn mountain. the kickelhahn mountain is the landmark mountain of the city of ilmenau . johann wolfgang von goethe , the famous writer & philosopher, often visited ilmenau and also climbed the kickelhahn. oftentimes he stopped at a little hut in the woods to relax for a while and on one of these stops he wrote one of his most known poems. our little adventure didn't last the whole day, though, as we had a little date with the weimar cemetery to look after the grave of my grandparents and then to visit my cousin and his family. tiny peek onto the kickelhahn tower. thuringian woods - deep dark green. at the goethe hut. this plate shows the german version of the poem goethe wrote here. inside the hut. and here's the english translation. i love this poem so much, as ...

in the forests.

it's that time of the year again.

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 ...
