Coming out of darkness, Snaking into light, Rapid and bold, Slim and controlled, By human powers, Attentively riding, The drawn-out paths; indifferently sliding above the haste. Rapid, slim and controlled, it does not heed; into dark it flows; What´s above, it knows; Winding, it flies, A yellow beast.
Hannah Arendt

Besides that they will record their first album this year.
Since last Friday our debut is officially released. You can get a copy or a download HERE or find it on iTunes.
In that very moment, when flying becomes as natural as being strongly connected with the ground, you understand how little you need to do. Or how much. Nothing. And everything. To take space or to offer. To switch between action, reaction or being the observer. And the receiver. For inviting and sharing possibilities. Over and over again.
