Here are links to a new concept song cycle, “Five – The Fifth Season”. This deals with the impact of climate change in general, and in a fictional village called Keltersfeld in the state of Brandenburg, Germany. The songs deal with the arrival of a fifth season which I have called “Ember”, and there is a booklet which explains the background and contains the artwork, lyrics and interpretations.
The song cycle is divided into 7 chapters which start from a positive nostalgic view of the seasons and then the five seasons and the aftermath. The songs are in English and German, and one of the songs is in Polish, and there are a wide range of musical styles. I have been releasing sections on Soundcloud and there have been over 5000 plays overall in the last couple of weeks.

OTHER PLATFORMS
I have been releasing a lot of the songs, mainly as albums, on other streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music. So all of the music is now far more widely available.
CHRISTMAS MUSIC
I have also been working on a series of Christmas songs in a collection called eklektika Christmas and will begin releasing songs next week.
Busy times!
All the best,
Steve
