For me life is a lot about encounterings. Encounterings with humans, books, videos, stones, trees, with actually everything.
I get a lot of inspiration out of these encounterings and new things arise out of them.
Here I want to share a couple of my inspirations. Sometimes there are more, sometimes less. Inspirations do change, too 😉



The n’Goni is a harp with its origins in West Africa. It is beautiful and so easy to play. Hard to believe but yes everybody who can hold this instrument is able to play it. Have a look into the biggest n’Goni encyclopedia I have been able to find so far by Jeremy Cloake at https://www.ngoni.org/

For people in Central Europe my man for the n’Goni is Thomas Weiss from Twice Percussion in Switzerland. He builds beautiful instruments. Get in touch with him via http://www.twicepercussion.ch/

Let yourself inspire by this instrument!
