Jo Blankenburg - Oh Majesty (feat. Lara Ausensi) Jo Blankenburg 2023-11-02 | The piece "Oh, Majesty" from my recent album “Vocalese” holds a special place. I tried my best to step out of my comfort zone and really dive deep into finding ways to express my ideas by using my own singing voice. I usually use the piano to sketch out every musical idea but in this case I started sketching out ideas with my voice right from the get go by layering melody lines and harmonies. Then after arranging the pieces fully. Lara (Ausensi) helped me bring all the female parts to live.Listen to "Vocalese" on your favorite platform here:lnk.to/vocaleseJo Blankenburg Official Website:http://joblankenburg.comJo Blankenburg Instagram:instagram.com/joblankenburgJo Blankenburg Facebook: facebook.com/JoBlankenburgMusicJo Blankenburg TikTok: tiktok.com/@_joblankenburgLara Ausensi Instagram:instagram.com/laraausensi

Jo Blankenburg - Starry Night on piano #piano Jo Blankenburg 2024-01-06 | The piano isn't just a component of my music; it consistently plays a significant role in shaping my vision. You know, when I kickstart the process of creating my music, it usually begins with me sitting at the piano, where I sketch out my ideas. However, with "Vocalese," I took a different approach by starting with my voice, yet you can still feel the piano's influence throughout this album.Catch me here playing "Starry Night" on the piano.Listen to "Vocalese" on your favorite platform here:lnk.to/vocaleseJo Blankenburg on Facebook: http://fbl.me/joblankenburg Buy Elysium on iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/8gd9gud Official Website: http://joblankenburg.com

Jo Blankenburg - 6 years of Cronos #voyager #cronos #orchestra Jo Blankenburg 2023-12-02 | I can’t believe it's been 6 years since I released "Cronos".Back in 2017, making this album was a total game-changer for me. We recorded at the prestigious Air Lyndhurst Hall in London which is one, if not THE most renowned recording venues in the world. I had the honor to work with an all-star team of music professionals, consisting of members of the London Symphony Orchestra, The London Philharmonic Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Orchestra.We had the best string/brass players and singers assembled in one room to capture their mesmerizing performances.If you're curious, check out the behind-the-scenes video which my brother Andy shot while we were living this dream in London back in 2017. Since the video has been released on YouTube, I’ve been getting so many kind comments and awesome feedback. Thank you all for reaching out to me!I can't even put into words how inspiring it was and is to have been given the opportunity to make such a priceless memory that changed my music career forever.

Jo Blankenburg - The Window | Part 2 Teaser (feat. Lara Ausensi) #shorts #vocalese #positionmusic Jo Blankenburg 2023-11-24 | We just released the second part of 'The Window 2' with Lara Ausensi on YouTube yesterday.'The Window' is inspired by Lara’s personal journey. As a little sneak peek, I can tell you that the second part provides a different perspective through the window…A big shoutout to the incredible artists who were behind the camera: Natalia Rodríguez González and Aitor Gutiérrez Cosgaya.Special thanks to Concejo Hospedería, in Valoria la Buena (Valladolid, Spain), for providing us with an exceptional filming location.Let us know in the comments below, how you like it!
Jo Blankenburg - The Window | Part 2 (feat. Lara Ausensi) Jo Blankenburg 2023-11-23 | In the second part of 'The Window,' you'll get to enjoy a livelier and more vivid view of the stunning landscape of Valoria la Buena (Valladolid, Spain). Our entire Vocalese album came to life through our remote collaboration with Lara Ausensi. I'm based in California, and Lara is all the way over in Spain. Despite the distance, we've been working separately on our parts, gradually piecing together our musical project. To be honest, when we talk about an 'orchestra,' it's just Lara and me – both of us on vocals, with me also handling the piano.What makes 'The Window' even more special is that Lara and her friends Natalia Rodríguez González and Aitor Gutiérrez Cosgaya took charge of creating the video themselves with Lara playing herself as the central character, to narrate her personal journey. In her own words: "The Window" has one of those timeless melodies that holds a deeper connection. It's like stepping back in time and seeing my younger self playing the piano through my old house's window. My dad is there with me, as vivid as he ever was. It feels just like coming home."Special thanks to Concejo Hospedería, in Valoria la Buena (Valladolid, Spain), for providing us with an exceptional filming location.Listen to "Vocalese" on your favorite platform here:lnk.to/vocaleseJo Blankenburg Official Website:http://joblankenburg.comJo Blankenburg Instagram:instagram.com/joblankenburgJo Blankenburg Facebook: facebook.com/JoBlankenburgMusicJo Blankenburg TikTok: tiktok.com/@_joblankenburgLara Ausensi Instagram:instagram.com/laraausensi

Jo Blankenburg - Life Support (Official Music Video - Travel Diary #3) Jo Blankenburg 2021-11-18 | Here's the my music video "Life Support" about my travels through Nevada, Utah and Arizona. After 4 hours of nonstop (very challenging) off-roading I had finally arrived at this notoriously hard-to-reach and super magical place. Well, not really magical, it felt more as if I'm exploring another planet. I was somewhere in the middle of nowhere at the border of Arizona and Utah. No cell phone reception, my GPS had failed me and all I was left with was a compass - yes a compass. :-)No-one around, not a soul and then there was this almost unsettling silence and absence of any kind of sound.Usually there's a bird bird chirping or a plane above or something - but there was absolutely nothing - all I heard was the crunching sound my shoes made from rubbing against the soft and fragile sandstone.I'm glad I was able to experience this, the memories I have from this trip are absolutely priceless and now I get to share it with you. Hope you enjoy!Trip summary:6 days, 1100 miles driven, 4 states visited, 532GB of content filmed, tons of off-roading at night, 34h of driving, 32 miles of hiking and walking, 6 delicious home-cooked pasta meals, (definitely) not enough sleep, waterfalls, an ATV ride, a helicopter ride, 2 drone crashes, countless hours of staring at canyons, 7h getting soaked, Four 3am wake-up calls, copious amounts of chocolate consumed, 1 amazing trip.You can listen to my new album “Unravel” here:https://smarturl.it/jb_unravel#joblankenburg #unravel #travel #being #bornfree
Jo Blankenburg - State of Being (Recording Sessions) Jo Blankenburg 2021-11-11 | Here's a glimpse behind the scenes of the making of my piece "State of Being".My new album "Unravel" is mostly inspired by my favorite element - "water".The more abstract and conceptual framework for this piece called "State of Being" was to find lush, thick piano chords that could evoke a sense of depth. I also added these smooth and flowing piano arpeggios that change ever so slightly - these are the small ripples on the surface of the water. The overall ascending motif in the strings (performed beautifully by Bonnie on violin and Kinga on cello), the moving up, note by note, interval by interval depicts the body emerging out of water and rising up. The full video of the recording session will be live on my YouTube channel on Thursday.

Jo Blankenburg - Born Free (Official Music Video - Travel Diary #1) Jo Blankenburg 2021-10-07 | You can listen to my new album "Unravel" on your favorite platform here:https://smarturl.it/jb_unravelAfter focusing a lot on my music career the last years I decided to do short (3-10 days) overlanding trips with my car once a month. The goal is to find really remote and secluded places where I can experience nature in it's truest form. Sometimes these camping trips require me to stay overnight in my car which adds to the adventure-vibe I'm looking to explore. After completing two full overlanding trips I can already tell that there's more balance in my life and on my way home I'm already thinking about editing what I've captured and turn everything into a viewing experience that gives visual context to my music.Official Website: http://joblankenburg.comInstagram: instagram.com/joblankenburg#joblankenburg #unravel #ambient #bornfree

Then I went on to record all pianos, synths and drums at my studio before recording violin and cello at my publisher's studio.You can listen to "Unravel" on your favorite platform here:https://smarturl.it/jb_unravelViolin:Bonnie Brooksbankinstagram.com/shakeyobonbonCello:Kinga Bacikinstagram.com/kingabacikJo Blankenburg:instagram.com/joblankenburg#joblankenburg #unravel #ambient #soundtrack
Jo Blankenburg - Born Free (Visualizer) Jo Blankenburg 2021-09-08 | My new album "Unravel" is OUT today.:https://smarturl.it/jb_unravelEvery album I release is obviously a small milestone in my career but this one is a big one. Not only did I record my own voice for all kinds of vocal elements and textures I also recorded most of the instruments myself live (except for violin and cello). Every piece on "Unravel" is like an ode to freeing myself of the things that are holding me back in my life and keep me from expressing my full potential. I felt guided throughout the process and the music took me to places I never deemed possible creatively. The album is sort of a liberation for me and I hope it can inspire similar things in you.

Jo Blankenburg - Penumbra (Music Video Trailer) Jo Blankenburg 2021-07-22 | This is the trailer for my upcoming music video "Penumbra"."The new era has arrivedbut nothing is what it seems.She blocks out the sunlightso nothing distractsShe’s one with the windand the clouds.Ready to get access to the archaic portalthat has not been opened in seven lifetimes. The sacred sequence of the spirit stonesIs the key to unlocking nature’s mystical force.She is patient, she is braveanswering nature’s callwith vehemence and steadfastness.Ready to retrieve nature’s treasurethe gift that will prove to be more preciousthan anything imaginable.The static hiss of the wind brings the feathers to lifeand conjures up the lightwithin the sea of darkness.It adds to the soundscape of crashing wavesand the ground moving underneath her.She steps into her animal spiritso she can healand bring up visions of beautythat are beyond her fathoming.The fear is absentand her spirit is strongwhen she expresses her personal mythin ceremonial acts.The energy runs through her marrow and bonesas she becomes more present and melts with nature. The time has come for herto face her truth.The emerald staircase is testing herdrawing her into the swirling mists of time."You can listen to "Penumbra" on your favorite platform here:http://smarturl.it/jb_sentienceOfficial Website: http://joblankenburg.comInstagram: instagram.com/joblankenburg#joblankenburg #penumbra #epicmusic #ambient #cinematic
