ANSICHTEN EINES TROUBADOURS
2019 · Debut Album
Songs from another time. Stories from another world.
The Album
The romantic outsider, born in the wrong century.
Ansichten eines Troubadours is my debut album, a collection of songs shaped by medieval imagery, romantic longing, folk traditions, and a lifelong fascination with worlds beyond our own.
Acoustic guitars, storytelling, and melodies inspired by the spirit of wandering minstrels form the musical foundation of this work.
At its heart stands the troubadour: a dreamer, an observer, and a restless soul searching for beauty and meaning in a world to which he never quite belongs.
It was the beginning of my journey as a recording artist — and the first musical expression of a larger universe of stories, myths, and imagination.
The Troubadour
Before there was a traveler crossing continents, there was a troubadour wandering through imaginary kingdoms.
Inspired by the literature, castles, legends, and medieval landscapes of Central Europe, I found myself drawn to the figure of the wandering musician — an outsider who observes the world, transforms his experiences into songs, and carries his stories wherever he goes.
There is something deeply romantic, perhaps even anachronistic, about this figure. His longing is not simply for a distant place, but for a different way of experiencing life.
Looking back, I see the troubadour as the first chapter of a much longer artistic journey. His search would eventually lead beyond imaginary kingdoms, toward the real roads and restless explorations of TRAVELER.

Beyond the Music — Fantasy & Elasphera
The same imagination that gave birth to these songs also shaped my work as a fantasy author.
My fantasy universe, Elasphera, grew from a fascination with mythology, medieval worlds, heroic tales, and the power of storytelling.
Today, these two creative paths meet in musical readings, troubadour performances, and collaborations combining literature, live music, and illustration.
The troubadour never truly disappeared. He simply found more stories to tell.
