Information:
This CD is dedicated to the Island of Helgoland (Heligoland).
Already my first visit left a deep impression on me. What a unique concept: Not using the car to drive to one's destination but to leave the car - and with that a piece of mundane everyday life - behind on the mainland to travel by ship to the island. This is an "adventure" right from the start.
Other islands I visited in the past never provided what I looked for in an island: An easy to take in size and "lay of the land" with a shoreline always within easy reach. Any incoming or leaving ship should be heard as well as the ever-present voices of the seabirds. All of that I found on "my island" - and so much more: hospitality, tolerance, and cosmopolitanism - what a loveable and dear mixture!
I am actually not very fond of walks but that's different here as well: The feeling of being closer to one's destination as soon as setting out on a walk, to be never more than half an hour away from "home," this is something I know only from Helgoland. It is virtually impossible to become lost...
At night, the lighthouse floods the vast ocean with its beacon and - like a benevolent star - serves as an orientation tool at the same time since it is visible from anywhere on the island. Here on the island I can be alone without being lonely. I can relax and recuperate and find back to my old self.

Holy Island - I will always treasure you for this.

You will hear music from the "Halunder Suite", and furthermore, I will tell a little bit about my thoughts to that lovely island...(WMV or MP4 format)
In December edition 2007 of the magazine "Der Helgoländer", an article about the project "Halunder Suite" was released, which you can read here (german text, PDF).
The CD can be ordered by email and is also now available on Helgoland! EUR 2.31 of each sold CD of the first edition are donated to Helgoland. The Helgoland Youth Center is the intended recipient.
