Enjoy 10 min utes inside his studio. The song chosen for this episode is: "Running to Know" and it is taken from the current album THE KASSEL SESSIONS (2024) Further information: www.markus-zosel.com  

I can tell you - I’ve been a stargazer for all my life. I’ve always been kept by the beauty of the cold and silvery light of the stars and I learned to tell them apart - in some cases.  I’ve also wondered why I did. But it always felt good with the night wind in my hair and these lights up above. That is why I wrote this song which I first published in 2015. I hope you'll enjoy this episode.

On January 8th I had the pleasure to publish the new album »The Kassel Sessions«. This episode will be dealing with the music of it for the first time. And I’d like to invite and to encourage you to follow this podcast on Podigee or wherever you listen to this show.  It would help a lot to spread this Music Podcast of mine on a wider range and make it more familiar to people who’ve never joined in before. Let’s give them a change to also be a part of it. Thank you so much and God Bless.

From time to time I do wonder how all of this started: an eleven year old with a guitar he learned to play. And all of a sudden there was the need to write, to express very own thoughts and a frame of mind that began to look out for a world that seemed to be waiting somewhere out there in the unknown. That boy worked hard and tried to share all of the ways that seemed possible to him and out of his passion for marine biology came a much greater passion for music and the word on a blank page that longed for being sung or being written down between all of the pages of a book that also came from his hands. And somehow there have always been those who listen to his songs or read the pages he had filled with words. That is so amazing and wonderful and also hard to explain - it really is…

Today’s show might arouse the interest of the musician - als well as the interest of the writer.  So let me take you there. All you have to do is ease back and enjoy.    Find more information on Markus Zosel on the official website: www.markus-zosel.com

Welcome back! Today we’ll be taking a closer look at the little things when it comes to talking about living an artistic life. Now, let’s go for it!

All of the inspiration to this song came from documentary about the life of Liberace. In fact, I never heard of him before - just the name there and then. But now I learned about the way he rose to stardom, the way he played the piano and the way all the people turned to or away from him. That was very impressive. And that is why the piano has such a leading role at the beginning and throughout this song, because after watching the documentary I ended up sitting in front of my own piano writing this song. I really did. Enjoy this episode and you'll find the song on the album "Shadow Play" (released in June 2023) on all major online streaming and download services.

The Mountains’ Crusade. A little into the mystic again. This episode and song is surely not about knights in medieval times, of course not. It’s about today - and it’s about you. And most of all it is about what being among the mountains at dusk is able to offer to you.
