THE MOSEL
A mystical land decorated with century old vines. ABOVE Alfer Hölle, is the home of Ulli Stein. Constructed as a hotel in the late 1800s, it is best known as Haus Waldfrieden. In the dining hall is a grand piano, overlooking the Mosel river. This is where the piano portions of Paris Mosel were composed and recorded, during the harvest of 2022.
ThIS half of the record is a musical portrait of Alfer Hölle, Striehween, Sankt Aldegund, Blutwurz, Palmberg, and Bullay.
Included in Paris Mosel is a transcription of the song “Mosel Weinlied”, composed in the mid 1800s. Mosel Weinlied is speculated to have been awarded a fuder’s worth of the finest Riesling in the 1846 Traben-Trabach Casino songwriting contest dedicated to Mosel wine.
PARIS
SIDE A OF Paris Mosel was recorded electronically in Paris, utilizing samples. A musical interpretation of the city unfolds, inspired by the cuisine, croissants, and streets of the art Mecca.
