Post Description

Faun is a German band formed in 2002 who play pagan folk, darkwave and medieval music. The originality of their music style is that they fall back to "old" instruments, and the singing is always the center of attention. The vocals are performed in a variety of languages, including German, Latin, Greek and Scandinavian languages. Their instruments include Celtic harp, Swedish nyckelharpa, hurdy gurdy, bagpipes, cittern, flutes and many others.

Recording information: Fortress Studio, The Netherlands (2005-2006); Lilienthal Studio (2005-2006). Personnel: Fiona Rüggeberg (vocals, whistling, bagpipe, recorder); Lisa Pawelke (vocals, hurdy-gurdy); Johannes Schleiermacher (cello).

 “Iets kan zowel goed, slecht of geen van beiden zijn. Muziek is bijvoorbeeld goed voor iemand in een melancholische bui, slecht voor degene die rouwt en de dove maakt het niets uit.” 

 “A person does not hear sound only through the ears; he hears sound through every pore of his body. 
It permeates the entire being, and according to its particular influence either slows or quickens the rhythm of the blood circulation; it either wakens or soothes the nervous system. 
It arouses a person to greater passions or it calms him by bringing him peace. According to the sound and its influence a certain effect is produced. 
Sound becomes visible in the form of radiance. 
This shows that the same energy which goes into the form of sound before being visible is absorbed by the physical body. 
In that way the physical body recuperates and becomes charged with new magnetism.”

~ Sufi Inayat’s  ~ 


” Muziek spoelt het stof van het dagelijkse leven van de ziel.” 

  “Iedere dag: Wat goede muziek horen, uit een goed boek lezen, een mooi schilderij zien en een paar redelijke woorden spreken. [/b]

~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ~ 

 “Het belangrijkste van de muziek staat niet in de noten”
