After nearly ten years of collecting musical ideas, my new album Music From The Bag will be released on July 30, 2026.

The album grew out of riffs, sketches and demos that had been waiting for the right moment. Some pieces lean towards rock, others towards fusion, but they all share the same story—a return to music that had been left unfinished for years.

While working on the album, I also explored new creative technologies. Some of the rhythmic layers were created with the help of artificial intelligence and were then programmed, layered and further developed as part of my own creative process.

The album artwork is one of my own charcoal drawings created on an old sheet of manuscript paper. Over the past months, I've been exploring abstract charcoal drawing, and it felt like the natural visual companion to this music.

The first four tracks are already available on streaming platforms, while the full album will be released on July 30, 2026.

If you'd like to learn more about the story behind the album, I've written about the entire creative process on my Substack.
