Gandalf - Secret Sarai '2020

Tracks list

Gandalf is a musician, composer and producer, born and living in Austria near
the “City of Music”, Vienna. He is a musical poet. In his delicately
structured compositions, mostly without words, he is telling tales full of magic
and fascination, tales of joy and sadness, love and universal harmony. 
The language of his music is international and made him earn recognition from
far beyond the borders of his homeland. Gandalf’s work is inspired by
Classical Music as well as Ethnic Music from different cultures. He blends a
multitude of instruments like piano, acoustic and electric guitars, mandola,
sitar, saz, balaphon, cello, flutes, oboe and various percussion with spherical
keyboard-sounds. In his unmistakable handwriting he weaves folkloristic tunes
with large symphonic arrangements into soulful melodious soundscapes.
Since the beginning of his career in the early Eighties the artist has
constantly been following his vision of a global kind of music beyond musical
categories and clichés. Besides numerous album-releases, Gandalf has composed
and arranged music for symphony orchestra (Symphonic Landscapes, Earthsong &
Stardance) and soundtracks for theatre, film and TV. Among other international
artists he worked with Steve Hackett, the legendary guitarist of Genesis. 
His records can be found on playlists of radio-stations and internet-platforms
all over the world. 
“Music is one of the most essential things in my life. Since my early
childhood it stimulated my fantasy and took me on adventurous journeys to
unknown places of my mind. Better than anything else, music is a way to share my
most intimate feelings and visions with others, a way to directly communicate
from heart to heart. All my life music has been some kind of sanctuary for me, a
protected area to withdraw from all the noise and craziness in this world and
find myself comfort and peace.” G.
