Way Out Of The Vacuum



Why are we so stubborn?
So stubborn...!
Stubborn...!

It is always a good moment to make a change...!
When something is already out of your range.
You have to bring the game to your side!
Let wisdom, not foolishness be your guide...
Because you deserve what you are and what you will become
To waste time in something dumb
Take every part of your broken heart
And create a new start!
Let your spirit sing and fight!
So do not forget that you are the light!

Cause there are spaces in life when you leave yourself fall to the vacuum in order
to find yourself again...
But you move forward, you find your light, you bury everything that doesn‘t deserve you,
you stop wasting words and breath...
And then you know...
It is time!
It is time to rock out this life!



It is time to record the “Inveniam Viam“.

Rocking Guatemala


A road trip of two friends rocking Guatemala...!

Yeah... If only man could see inside a sentence... And watch everything that hides inside of it... Because a road trip is more than just a simple road trip... A road trip is full of laughs, risks, problems, life... It is an adventure that will remain forever in the hearts of those who decided to just hit the road and live...!

An evening before I left Germany and returned to Guatemala I spoke with one of my good friends that I made in Bamberg, the master in the electric guitar, Andy Arneth. We remembered the great time I had playing Sundays in the Sound-n-Arts club in the Sandstraße, Bamberg and so we rocked together the stage one last time... The atmosphere was perfect, I remind that my brother Christian Planken thought and said to me that it was my best performance of all in the club, the people had a great time, of that I'm sure, the club was full... Yeah it was a great farewell party for that point in my Life...! 

But after that superb night where I was jamming with all the musicians I met in the time I lived in Bamberg, Andy said that he would surely come to Guatemala to visit me, to play the Rock'n Roll music and of course to see the pyramids in Tikal, because it was a dream he wanted to fulfill... And if I'm completely honest I have to say that I thought he was joking... But some months later I received a message from him saying that he had already bought the ticket to Guatemala so... The adventure began again...

Finally after some months waiting for the arrival of Andy to Guatemala, he made it on the 1st of February of 2016 and like the pirate he is (Jack Sparrow), looking for adventure, he was ready to rock the country with his Fender Telecaster. The only thing he needed was a little push and a confirmation of the decision we made in words...! And there I was... Ready to give him that push... Because if I say I'll do something... It is because I'll do it, and yeah... We just hit the road with our mission of rocking the country, filming all the videos we could, with of course, the best possible backgrounds of the beautiful Guatemala behind each session we made... And that is how the ''Rocking Guatemala'' documental was born... Andy and I played my songs around the country... And the last thing I can say about it is: WE HAD FUN.

Rocking Guatemala is coming... On June 5 2016...!
But not before Rock'n Roll takes on May because I'll release some videos, one per week, in May which will be part of the final documental.
So Stay tuned...!

Born Now (Official Video)


The World is in a critical point. Right now it is on the middle of two roads that are leading to different destinations... In fact, they are taking the globe to totally opposite places... The first one goes in the right direction and the other one will guide the humanity to an error. I'm no one but just a young man who plays the guitar and sings his own songs... But before things start to happen I did not want to stay still, silent, just watching everything happen around me... So that is why I wrote Born Now, I wanted to say something about it... I just believe we are still on time to make my generation a ''Generation Of Gold''.

I already released 3 EP's ''Sounds Of My Room''(SOR.)... ''I Am Who I Am EP''(IWIA.)... and the last one ''Renaissance EP''(REN.). From each EP I decided to take one song and then make a video of it. For SOR I chose ''I Don't Want To Go To School'', for IWIA I took ''I Am Who I Am'' and for REN I thought ''Born Now'' would be the perfect song for the message I wanted to transmit, so I don't care if the song is too long, what matters here is the message, the music with sense, music that can make you think and take action... Of course I have all types of songs, songs to live, love, laugh, songs with crazy verses etc. And my music genre goes indeed more in the Rock'n Roll direction... But the Renaissance EP is specifically that part of me that wants to leave a message, that is why I leave my words here not to make an example or inspiration but to wake up the real heroes.

As I already wrote before in other posts... The intention is to wake up the people that change the world everyday... Because as human I fall, I make mistakes and I'm far away of being a good influence but the symbol of a ''Generation of Gold'' that creates a better future for everyone, which is done together by helping us day by day till we reach it... That is something that is incorruptible. Therefore I put my eyes on the message, I put my eyes on the symbol and not in the man because a symbol is something that can live forever. 

So please enjoy the video... It will be released on 29.02.2016. It was filmed in Guatemala City and it has scenes of the most important pacific demonstrations of our near global history... It remembers the past but lives in the present... It takes action now... Because war will not lead us to a bright future... More blood... Will bring more blood... And we are now people with Understanding... So let us use it as our main weapon to make a better world... To make our generation... ''A Generation Of Gold''.

Renaissance EP

Finally, my last EP and project of the year… ‘’Renaissance EP’’ will be out soon.

This Extended Play is my third and exposes a different side of me. It is totally another area of myself, a little part that I cannot eliminate… It is focused on the fight of a better world, on a dream of a great future for humanity. But like I said it only represents a side of my being. It always has been there to make something about the world we are living, and of course it is not my central perspective of everything, but it is at the end, a portion of the core of my writings and ways of seeing Life, Music and The Universe.

For me it is about a Renaissance of whatever it comes to your mind, it can be virtues that are born again in our age, music that has been forgotten or vulgarized and then suddenly returns like a Phoenix from the ashes to put every chord and note in the right place, or the spirit of Rock and Roll that screams for a new revolution of sounds and bands, the spirit that aches for a new generation of people that breaks all the paradigms that has in front, that decides to go on for their dreams, youngsters with a new own symbol pursuing the impossible, not only remembering history but making it. Movements die but eventually they are reborn… In us… The ones who want to make great things. I know I’m not the only one.

In some writings before I mentioned that we are in a time of Evolution. We are the ones who can make the biggest change for the future of humanity, in ways like putting the reason over the violence, using the understanding as our mainly weapon. We talk about the children, but I also want to see with my own eyes what we can accomplish together…

The Movement I have in vision is one that I like to call a Revolutionary Evolution. That means that humans are evolving in masses, we are closer and closer to an aggressive and positive change because day by day, people are opening their eyes and are getting truly illuminated, making ways to fulfill their lives, seeking their personal improvement as humans… Because if you are not making someone else’s Life better then your main purpose as a human being has been a failure.

We have to remember that we are all in this together, and what better Way to live in this World, than sharing it as a Family. We would make this little point of the Cosmos a better place by living as a Family full of Love. And of course that in every Family there are problems and difficulties but at the end somehow, no matter what happened, families will always find a way to come together for a brighter day.

Yeah… That sounds like a Utopia. It is because this EP exposes and transmits a positive way of seeing things, that kind of perspective of a dreamer, that seeks with enthusiasm a better world, but as I said many times before, it only reflects a little piece of me… Because truth must be spoken… I have many grey days; it is not always rainbows and colors or 100% positive motivation but it is how it is, music is a reflection of self, and this is something I have to let out… I just hope the words come to someone much better than me that can put things on practice.

So finally to end with this exposure of The Renaissance EP, it only remains to say that it was recorded in Bamberg, in the Mainstraße 10, in the Schallspeicher Studios, with the talent of great people and musicians that helped me to put that touch of professionalism on it. Johannes Klütsch played like a master the drums, Nikolaus Durst the incredible bass and Andreas Arneth rocked the acoustic and electric guitars. I have to say that I heard stories from Nirvana recording their first album in an underground studio, well this studio in the Mainstraße 10, it is truly a gold mine when you want to find that underground rock style…

So I hope you enjoy the EP, you will be able to listen it on Youtube as my other EP’s. It will also be available for Free MP3 Downloads on Soundcloud, and if you think you would like to buy it, then it will be on Bandcamp too. This EP has upgraded my work in quality and professionalism, as it was my intention from the beginning always better, always improving.

Release Date: 29.10.2015




I’m on my way… I enjoy the way… I’ll rock that way!

I Am Who I Am EP

Very Soon...
Next Month...
My Second EP will be OUT!

I Am Who I Am EP comes with a lot of deep feelings...

The Winter was coming... You could feel the cold weather approaching to Germany...
Summer left with a lot of good memories, saying goodbye till next year... And now... Melancholy was knocking at the door...
The Oktoberfest closed the heavens and the colours... And that is why, this EP is Grey...

In a legendary basement... Where countless musicians have left their souls for the art, the I Am Who I Am EP was recorded in a coldly morning of October in 2014, in the Sound and Arts Club, Bamberg.

This EP is the most real work I've done in music until now, and it is because it is raw, with only my traveling friend as a companion, and my raspy voice as main instrument to deliver the profound sound of my Spirit, to let out what I was feeling at that very moment... The Pursuit of a fulfilling Life... That is why the Voice was a little broken, because of all the thoughts that were coming, of the past... And the uncertain future....!

The music is very monotonous and marked... I only focused on my Spirit... My Spirit that seems to be trapped in a dimension, in a matrix, in a system that is controlled by unhappiness and sickness, thus it will never give up till it is complete and accomplishes its purpose, to be FREE and ILLUMINATED...!

It is my Guitar and my Spirit in need of a Rebel Song...!
Because I don't care what Society thinks... I don't care their rules over me...!
I am Who I am and I'll be FREE!

Release Date: 29.05.2015

It will be in Youtube and you will also be able to download it for FREE on Soundcloud and Bandcamp!

Some of these Songs are also going to be in my first Album, so start feeling the lyrics...! Come to my Universe...!
