When I walked across the Alps from Salzburg to Trieste, I didn't intend to write songs about it. I just wanted to make it!

But ideas came and went and some of them got stuck in my mind, finally turning into the songs on "Into The Mountains", my new album, which roughly reflects my hike over the Alps.

I recorded "Into The Mountains" mainly by myself, playing all the instruments, with a little help from friends and wonderful instrumentalists who put the extra snowy peaked sparkle on the album.

My solo aproach to writing and performing these songs reflects the solitude of my walk into the mountains.
