Michael Nadolny – Heart Beast

Releasedate: 1st february 2024.

After participating as a musician on several albums, I finally succeeded in creating and recording my first solo album, HEARTBEAST. During the writing process, I did not aim to be innovative; the songs just came directly from my heart.

My heart still beats, even though it suddenly stopped on a spring day in 2018 and was resurrected by my fantastic workmate Peter who saved my life.

Unfortunately, my little brother Flemming Bach’s life was not savable. His heart stopped beating five months later as he died after a long illness with cancer. Flemming and I played music together, and we were almost inseparable since the day we were born.

I wiped the slate clean, and as self-therapy, I decided to create my first solo album. It has been a long but good self-therapy journey. 

The years with Corona also meant no gigs, so I had time to concentrate exclusively on the album with my new songs. I recorded all instruments and vocals myself in Spektrum Studio with help from my good friend Brian Straaberg. Brian Straaberg is a sound technician who is fantastic to work with, a great inspiration and a nice person. Thank you for helping to kill the boring Corona time in a good way.

Also, thanks to my good friend Tommy Hinrichs for great advice and ears over the years. Back in the 70s, you came dragging an old tube amp and a not tunable electric guitar, and you asked if we should form a band. That was my lucky day. I would probably, to this day, have been toiling away as a gofer at the engine station out west.

Life takes, and life gives, but damn, it’s great to have it.

I hope you’ll like the album.
