Olaf Sickmann - Still Walking (MP3-Download)

"My new single 'Still Walking' was created during a phase in which I was at a personal and professional dead end. So I decided to give up my apartment, sell everything I didn't need, and go abroad for a while to regroup. This decision was like a liberation for me and turned out to be the best decision of my life. After that, only good things happened to me."
On "Still Walking," German composer, guitarist, and tin whistle player Olaf Sickmann combines classical influences with soundtrack-like music and traditional Irish sounds to create a kind of New Celtic Music. The piece begins with spherical keyboard/piano sounds with a slight jazz touch, later joined by an intensely played electric guitar. This contrasts with a melodic, virtuoso tin whistle storm, inspired by Irish instrumental music and steadily increasing in polyphony. "Still Walking" ultimately ends in a hypnotic hurricane of sounds and tin whistle tones, presenting listeners with an emotional and unusual piece of music that perfectly reflects the liberation described above. To give the production that extra special something, Olaf Sickmann brought on board Marcus Praed, an experienced and musically open co-producer who is, among other things, the guitarist of the American cult rockers Tito & Tarantula (who became world famous through the Roberto Rodriguez film From Dusk Till Dawn), who recorded and mixed “Still Walking” in an ancient water mill.
Over the past 15 years, Olaf Sickmann has carved out his own niche with timelessly beautiful instrumental music. His works are regularly played on radio and television and are increasingly being used for corporate promotional purposes.
