about

Experiments have been an integral part of Ajana's (aka. Luise Markert) music since the beginning in 2003. On her albums "Home In Decay" (2012) and "Dualismus?" (2015) she devoted herself to Metal with influences beyond this genre. With her third opus she makes an excursion to new territories and surprises the listeners with an experimental album.

"Everywhere and nowhere" embarks on a journey into the world of electro, world music, jazz and classical influences. Electronic beats, spherical parts, surprising samples and much more can be discovered on "everywhere and nowhere". Who, for example, always wanted to know how to turn chopping wood into music can find it out here. The music focuses on Ajana's characteristic vocals.

For "everywhere and nowhere" Ajana invited two guest singers - Karin Andreev ("self-declaration") and Robert Markert ("nocturnal scene pt. I: redemption"), the artist's brother. As always, the songs come from the pen of Ajana - she composes and arranges the music, writes the lyrics, sings and is responsible for all keyboards, samples and programming. For "everywhere and nowhere" she went on the road with a mobile recorder to capture everyday sounds and put them into a new musical context.

Mixing and mastering were done by Björn Köppler (e.g. Maladie) at Not Dead Yet Studio in Ludwigshafen/Germany. The album was recorded by Ajana and Björn Köppler and produced by Ajana.
