Oeldorf 8 is a chronicle of a very fruitful period in my life, a period which was characterized by an intense and lively contact with my friends in Oeldorf. It is not only music, it is also individual and collective autobiography of two years of togetherness. Oeldorf 8 is dedicated to Joachim Krist, Peter Eötvös and Gaby Schumacher.
