Search - Maximilian Hecker :: I Am Nothing But Emotion

New and 6th album by Maximilian Hecker. In 2008, Maximilian Hecker reached a point at which he was no longer able to find any satisfaction in his career. He felt that, since the decision he had taken seven years earlier to make music his profession, he had seldom been successful in expressing genuine emotion in concerts or studio recordings. Hecker felt himself to be constricted in a corset of perfectionism and conventions - partly self-inflicted, partly dictated by outsiders. Retrospectively, he explained, that a large part of what he had achieved on stage and in the studio had been only a rudimentary excerpt of his feelings, that the channel to his soul felt as if it had been obstructed in such recordings and live performances. This [quote from Hecker] "challenge to the music business" gives Hecker the musical feeling he believed was lost, brings him artistic bliss and the missing identification with his own work. And this is what we find in "I Am Nothing But Emotion, No Human Being, No Son, Never Again Son": a Maximilian Hecker, risen from the dead, stronger, radiant - like his previously hibernating soul.
