With Dance for the Celestial Beings I wanted to make people aware of other cultures and values. Therefore I used samples from Greenland, Africa, Tibet, Greece, The Middle East and samples from nature as well as the animal kingdom using whales, monkeys, birds and snakes.
Sometimes the samples are obvious but once in a while such as the whales and the snakes you really can’t tell where the sound comes from. For me it’s always been important to tell a story in my tracks. The reason why I called the album Dance for the Celestial Beings was that I felt we could, and still can, learn a lot from the ancient now disappearing cultures. Not only did they live in unison with their surroundings but their religion and myths also made their daily life much more relaxed in the sense that they were not confused or scared about their own death and the life beyond this one.
