- new album "Harmonic Steps" (2CDs, Manikin Records, MRCD7077)

One step after the other – that is how we are moving on in life. That famous"first step" is often the most difficult one – but also the most important one. To take it, you definitely need some courage and also an idea what direction it is to lead you to. our steps leave a number of different footprints on the ground we are walking on, traces on our lives and on the lives of others. Each step, each trace is unique – just like the people leaving such traces.

The 16 quite different compositions on this cd are meant to be musical steps leading towards harmony. Because harmony is very important to me in my life. For some of you it may be possible to follow my steps to find harmony for a while. I wish my compositions could leave some traces – just like footprints in the sand!

All tracks composed, arranged and performed by Detlef Keller 2004 and 2005.
