"Mount Mundane invites listeners into a personal (musical) tale about the life-journey each one of us has to make by overcoming daily grief, sorrow, distraction, disease, troubles and limitations as if climbing a huge mountain to finally reach a state of happiness, love and achievement and where you can loose your own consciousness into something greater then you are without social comparisons."

"For this album I started a musical dialogue with my younger self and found back some old melodies I wrote about 45 years ago but at that time still was unable to embed in a matured musical setting or context. They were simple one finger notes which I could now enrich with deep harmonisation and intricate arrangements. For the latter I was inspired by the very colourful music of postimpressionist composers.
The extra limitation here was that I recently partially lost my hearing in one ear in all those years that I carried these melodies with me in my mind. But I somehow managed to overcome this and was now even able to do deeper musical introspection then before and so this personal journey has come to be a meaningful achievement which shows there is always hope if you’re willing or able to climb that mountain."
