Never would I have imagined my “Turning In” music would turn my life around!
Many years of my life I suffered from severe post traumatic stress (PTSD) symptoms including depression, back pain, and addiction. Constantly haunted by horrific memory loops replaying in my “body-mind,” I felt lost, stuck, broken, and hopeless since the usual therapies didn’t do much for me. Every time I fell asleep from pure exhaustion — even if it was only for three minutes — I startled awake from severe flashbacks and nightmares so vivid I could even smell the perpetrators. I was miserable, sleep-deprived, and at times I didn’t even have the energy to open the curtains — or even to weep.
…Until a co-incident forever changed my path
Creating music has always been my refuge, and one night I got really frustrated working on a dance music track that didn’t seem to work, except for a beautiful, layered melody that caught my attention. When I removed the percussion, I was immediately carried away by the flow of the music. I was completely in the “zone” and when I dove out of it, I felt reborn — refreshed, relieved, full of energy, and so much lighter. I remembered what Dr. Shapiro wrote in her book on EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and began experimenting with (binaural) healing frequencies. After all, I had just felt the healing effect of frequencies on my own nervous system.
Brain coherence & neuroplasticity at work
Whenever I put my headphones on and listen to “Turning In,” my nervous system relaxes, my thoughts become quiet, my body gets still, and I can actually feel my brain communicating more coherently, rewiring and healing. Every day I feel lighter, calmer, more focused, more refreshed, awake, energized, alive, relieved, confident, and healed.
I am grateful for this journey.
Of all the electronic music I’ve produced, my healing ambient frequencies have impacted me the most. They have given me back a quality of life.

I created these tracks over a course of several weeks since it takes a long time to create flawless, even meditation ambient tracks that are soothing and easing on the one hand and not boring and being able to excite your brain even after listening to them for many years. As always I have created my own binaural beat technology using two oscilloscopes.
I aimed to create a musical switch to loosen up the shells I unconsciously build around myself in order to protect me from the constant overflow of information, expectations, mental pollution, and distracting energies of my surroundings: On a so called “normal day,” what happens is usually a gradual disconnection from my true joyful nature, a narrowing of my awareness, lessening of my energy and decrease of power. Building up protective shields and masks in order to be able to “function and act in the world” lowers my frequency and uses a great deal of my precious energy – energy that could be invested in playful creativity, sparking new solutions to problems or challenges, and feeling more in touch, alive, full of energy, meaningful, and aware.
