The experience of living in East Berlin has profoundly influenced the author's views on beauty and human expression, especially in music. Inspired by the stark appearance of Plattenbau architecture and the history of the area, the author reflects on the organic nature of beauty and its contrast with manufactured structures. This introspection led to a fascination with Renaissance culture, including architecture, art, and choir music. Visiting galleries and churches has transformed the author's artistic approach, emphasizing a yearning for deeper aesthetic experiences in music.
Living in East Berlin has made me think a lot about beauty, and about how, when we lose organic-ness, the more we are losing beauty and transcendence entirely.
The Renaissance represented the height of human achievement, and my obsession with its architecture, music, and art has profoundly influenced my songwriting.
