about the cassette

This is the first record Henner completed in fatherhood. Since his daughter was born, life changed in so many ways for him. Hoy holds a new meaning for him and wonder is a new feeling. It has changed his perspective on life and the world, and reminded him of life’s preciousness, even in our times of conflict and unhappiness. Fatherhood - especially to a newborn - doesn't leave a great deal of time for creating music but, even though all the challenges, he found the time to write a new album for marimba.

“I dedicate this music to the people of Ukraine, in sympathy and solidarity with all they endure. It's a heartbreaking thought, that my daughter was born into a world at war, where peace and unity and brotherhood are forgotten like flues of sand trickling away into the sea.”
