A spherical soundtrack of poetry, experimental instrumental music and chamber pop.

Bobo: singing
Sebastian Herzfeld: Prepared piano, harmonium, melodica, metal percussion

BoBo and Sebastian Herzfeld, who met in their youth in a jazz band in Halle, are something like musical soulmates. Although each pursued very different musical directions – Herzfeld made a name for herself as a theater musician, while BoBo with her indie rock band “Bobo in White Wooden Houses” became known – they found their own musical cosmos in this unusual German song project.

After her first album “Songs of Love and Death” much attention and the World Music Prize in Rudolstadt, two more albums followed over the years, on which they recorded poems by Eichendorff, Rückert, Lenau, CF Meyer, Rilke and Goethe into timeless songs.

Using unusual instruments such as prepared piano, harmonium, bass, muted trumpet sounds and metal percussion, Herzfeld composed an atmospheric soundtrack, which she performed live with the New Zealand saxophonist Hayden Chisholm and many years in a trio with the Belarusian avant-garde accordionist Yegor Zabelov brought to the stage.

After BoBo & Herzfeld 2018 with “View into the stream” released the third album of their romantic trilogy, both went new ways during the years of standstill. Now BoBo & Herzfeld have started moving together again and released their classics like “The Crazy Minstrel”, “I live my life in growing circles”, “Stay with me” or “I have become lost to the world” re-recorded once again – with depth that has matured over the years, more minimalist, more intimate: arranged only for piano, harmonium and voice.

For the first time, in addition to the new Rückert setting “You are a shadow in the day” A romantic poet of our time can also be heard – a poem by the singer's father, set to music by the daughter.

The album was mixed by one of Germany’s most famous and creative producers: Moses Schneider.
