"Tracks of 10 Years" ist eine Sammlung von Texten, die zwischen 2010 und 2020 entstanden sind, während ich in Freiburg studiert habe - angefangen beim Bachelor bis hin zur Promotion. Ums Studium geht es in den Texten eher weniger, mehr um alles andere, was in dieser Zeit passiert ist: um Träume, Tränen und Triumphe, Abenteuer, Alltag und alles, was man sonst noch in Alliterationen packen kann. Ein Studentenleben eben. Ich habe die Texte nicht groß verändert, auch wenn ich manche davon heute vielleicht anders schreibe würde.

Killer Tracks è il podcast dove la musica incontra il crimine, e il risultato non è mai una hit radiofonica. Io sono Deadbeat Raccoon, il procione DJ che rovista nei cassonetti e ti porto a spasso tra omicidi, sparizioni, dischi maledetti e storie che nessuno vuole raccontare. Niente gossip, solo verità sporche, documenti dimenticati, teorie borderline e artisti finiti male. Ogni episodio è una traccia da seguire, ogni caso un riff tagliato col coltello. Se cerchi pace, cambia canale. Qui il silenzio fa più paura del rumore.
