The music for Micha Schlüter's theatrical performance of the same name will be released as a standalone album on March 27, 2026. The piece was performed in November 2023 at the Theater La Lune and the Werkstatthaus in Stuttgart by Micha Schlüter and Florian Vogel.
As a sonic extension of the stage play, the album tells a brief story from the life of the fictional character "Paul Wolf," who has reached a low point and simultaneously a crucial crossroads. Through fateful and unforeseen events—and an encounter with the devil—a turning point seems imminent. As the carousel of thoughts spins ever faster in his mind, the boundaries between imagination and reality blur.
The music moves between classical songwriting, jazz, and experimental soundscapes. Acoustic instruments such as guitar, piano, and violin are combined with synthesizers, effects units, and electronic sounds.
Songs, free improvisations and atmospheric sound passages depict a bizarre, sometimes delusional and distorted reality – like a musical fever dream.
