Seen from the moon, our Earth appears as a blue marble. The sight of it touches our hearts and minds and reminds us how precious our planet is. What are we doing here on it, when we are in truth quite small, threatened by a constant overestimation of ourselves?
“Someday or now” – a CD with subtle compositions and texts about the earth and how we spend our time on it – as lovers, as warring parties, as liars, as seekers of truth – is revealed to us by the musician and poet Akampita Steiner.
Minimal music, chanson, folklore, and the Orient are the elements from which the guitarist, with a classical background and a dark, velvety chanson voice, weaves her impressive evenings. Her lyrics are a blend of immediacy and precise observations that expose human behavior. The addition of exotic instruments transports listeners into an enchanted forest of musically poetic worlds.
