PALADIN is a 5½-minute live improvisation, recorded in my electronic music studio.
Together with Sebastian Brand, this performance is a pure live electronic session – no playback, no overdubs. Everything was played in real time.
PALADIN is a tribute to the legendary Flying P-Liners – the fast and graceful sailing ships of the Hamburg shipping company F. Laeisz, all of which bore names starting with the letter „P.“ These vessels were renowned for their speed and exceptional safety. Their distinctive color scheme featured a black hull above the waterline, a white stripe at the waterline, and a red underwater section.
The title refers to the wooden barque PALADIN, launched in 1877 and active on the world’s oceans until 1883. Sailors often called these ships “Hamburg Four-Masters” – the High German version of the old sea shanty Hamborger Veermaster.
🎧 Pure electronics. Pure improvisation.
