MUSIC SCENE 2006
|
Philip Seibel ( German) was only 15 when he entered the Journal in 1996. He had to grow up the hard way and learn
to be self sufficient and the journal documents his struggles until July, 2000.... when I could look at Philip and say,
" You'll do".
But now he is 25 - and his enormous talent can be glimpsed through his completed CD.

It is 1994, and a ferry takes two inexperienced 'buskers' from England to Belgium.
For one, it was a holiday. For the other, it was the end of his 'life'. Would new 'life' dawn?

|
It is Antwerp in January, 1996 - and the 17th sees the first entry of the diary that would emerge
as the 700,000 words (approx) Labyrinth Busker Journal.
|

It is August, 1996 and buskers are on the move. A brief visit to Antwerp pulls up a puzzle - and
Brian moves on to Luzern, Bern and Gstaad... meeting busker 'parties', romance and ill health.

PHILOSOPHY
|
Buskerbrian theories are there to inspire you. He doesn't necessarily look for answers. Rather he
takes an oblique angle and searches for questions.

STORY
|
Aug, 1999: Emotional trauma as a trip to New York leads to first face to face contact with my daughter
for four years. The monster guarding the exit path of my inner Labyrinth has to be faced, and its nature identified.

|
A far from successful Swiss expedition leads to an Antwerp period where philosophy rules - and the format for
the immediate future begins to be galvanised.
It is May, 1996 - and ther stagnant weather mirrors the stagnation within me.
