History

The musical journey began in 1984, in a small room where a simple but defining choice had to be made: model trains or guitar. The decision was clear. The model railway was dismantled, and the guitar stayed. That moment marked the beginning of a path shaped entirely by self‑teaching, curiosity, passion, and a good dose of stubbornness.

By 1986, the first gigs followed. The first band proudly carried the name “Headliner”, even though everyone involved was basically a beginner. But that didn’t matter — the goal was to get on stage. The lighting system? Built by hand, of course.

The nineties brought a more professional approach. Composition lessons entered the picture, and after four different bands, a true musical home was finally found: Smooth Edges. The band played several successful shows and even came close to being booked as a support act for a Germany‑wide tour. But as things sometimes go, the band eventually fell apart, and even a revival attempt in the late nineties didn’t succeed.

The 2000s were shaped by smaller musical projects — creative experiments that were fun and broadened the horizon. Among them was “Apocalyptika for Guitars”, a project dedicated entirely to Metallica songs, along with other spontaneous ideas that came and went. These projects kept the creative spark alive during a time without a permanent band. They also laid the groundwork for skills and ideas that would resurface many years later.

And then, in 2025 — twenty years later — came the second musical spring: Spring of Bones. Suddenly, there was room for ideas that had never been realized over four decades. Inspired by Buddy Lutz, himself a former musician and excellent guitarist, the desire resurfaced to compose songs again and enjoy the creative process as a whole. Finding suitable musicians proved too complicated, so the decision was made to record and produce everything alone. That meant learning to sing, learning keyboards, learning studio work — and learning it fast. The result was a collection of new works, thematically inspired by the company one had worked for. The next step is clear: finding musicians to bring these songs to life on stage at least once. It doesn’t have to be a world tour — but one night where the music fills the room would be a dream.
