Dear folks,
please excuse my sudden radical disappearance. It occurred to me that there are times in life when it’s best not to have a plan, not to know where to go next, not to be bound to anything – which is why it felt good to cut loose from eftb for now.
And it’s also why I can’t really predict anything right now. Sure I will keep making music somehow, there’s a still growing amount of gigs on my schedule (offers are welcome) and lots of half-finished projects on my harddrive that I am currently working on and will hopefully finish in near future…
Maybe I’ll be back in two weeks. Maybe in three months. Maybe I will vanish into thin air. (Well, not very likely.) But the nice thing is not to know.
Meanwhile, have a good start for an even better 2011!
J.
PS: Here’s a small song fresh from the studio, not much more than a sketch yet, a skeleton. What I can tell so far: This year’s new love is the bandola. (Sounds like a guitar, but is way cooler!)
Sounds great!
Did your older releases disappear from the web or am I just looking in the wrong places? I have them myself, but from time to time I like to point people to your work.
Nils. Her older releases are still online.

The “Raw Timber” EP and “Trivialities” EP is not online, as far as we know.
eftb, that melody is so nice…thanks for posting it up.
Best wishes for your life, but please come back
Life, without good music like yours, is anything worth to live.
I think I uploaded Raw Timber on my site a while back, I’ll check it out later and post the link if I can find it, or re-upload it if I can’t. I’ve never heard ‘Trivialities’ though, anyone got a copy they could put up? I’m too much of a completist to have such a big gap in the collection…
Re-uploaded Raw Timber and found a link to Trivialities, all posted here… http://www.beatlizard.com/yousir/?p=183
“Raw Timber”, “Trivialties” and “Hypersomnia” are now on the FreeMusicArchive, too:

Well done! Thanks!
Aaaaaahhhhrrrrgl (not “aaahh”): Why did I discover her music only today, reading about her hiatus?? We live in the same f**kin’ city, and I was completely unaware of her great music, It’s always the same: Too much information, too much good music out there and too little time. I will enjoy her releases and hopefully catch a gig of her soon…
Haha.. you guys are awesome. Saved me quite a bit of work, gathering and uploading all that…
Also the general reactions are… well, surprising (I mean, even if I was gone for good, the music’s still there, it doesn’t change much..) but also kind of motivating.
By the way, since when does the little Facebook-button-thingy on these pages say “Arr!”?! Love that! Love that so much that I almost wanna click it! ARR!!
@julia: changed it yesterday… ARR!
Hi Julia,
will “Cyborg” be released anytime soon? Or am I sitting on a really precious recording you did for the pentamusic Radio Show? Would you mind, releasing that piece for you?
pMRS: EFTB
Good luck and best wishes for your future. If you are in DD, say AAARR, k?

Hi Julia,
could you release “Cyborg” before you are off to better places? This song’s just SO awesome! If you lack a recording, I still have the one from the pentaMusic Radio Show (a href=”http://pentamedia.org/pentamusic/20101114″ title=”pMRS: EFTB”>pMRS: EFTB… Would be so awesome!
Thanks and best wishes! Say “arr!” if you are around somewhere in DD!
koeart
@koeart: Ohh, it is already halfway properly recorded and will be released in a not toooo far away future. (In fact it just became part of a plan…) Until then you have a little secret treasure there…
And YARRR! Avast ye, me will be in Dresden in April, in fact playing at the neat little Wohnzimmer café – thanks again for the hint!
Hi,
looking forward to april, 10th. Are there tickets needed to be bought?
cheers
Nope, there are gonna be no tickets. Just come and listen and bring some cookies if you like…

Julia – I am a musician/songwriter in PA/USA. I just discovered your beautiful music through FMA. You deserve the break you are taking! Looking forward to your return, refreshed and ready to go. Enjoy your hiatus. ~Tom Hitt~
Hey Julia, just wanted to thank you for the gummy bears that came with Roadkill. They were delicious.
