Northern Earth northernearth.co.ukSteffen Basho-Junghans performs NatureHARMONICROOMS2022-12-03 | Very sad to report that Steffen Basho-Junghans left this world on the 1st of December 2022.
We planned to do this ‘crazy idea’ of a performance years ago, but life got in the way and I didn’t get around to editing it until now, but it feels like the right time to share and a good way to remember the man.
Meeting Steffen was like meeting an elemental force. I remember, when organising tours and shows for him, we'd stay up late drinking and listening to records. I’d have to creep off to bed unable to keep up, then I’d hear him rise early from his bed the next morning, ready for the next day. Meanwhile, I’d have to peel myself off the mattress and try and keep up. He was seemly unstoppable. I remember his guitar would be lying with its case open in the front room and he’d be staring at it, like it was a portal to another realm, and every now and then he’d give the strings a little brush and warm sunlight would enter the room. I remember driving through wide open landscapes with him maybe between England and Scotland or in Thuringia, Germany and he’d impress on me his relationship to the land and most importantly the ‘Landscape’. A word that I’ve been using more and more within the DreamWork that I now do. I always had a sense that he was connected to the deeper truths, the deeper elemental forces, maybe more so than he was connected to this waking world. As a DreamWorker, I spend most of my time during sessions reminding people that the animal spirits are coming to them and yes these experiences or ‘ways of being’ are indeed ‘real’ and must be honoured. I never got to discuss my DreamWork with Steffen, as I entered into it more deeply during the pandemic. I was hoping to get the opportunity by maybe getting him over to the UK once the plague had all blown over. Unfortunately, the tumor stopped this from happening, but we did manage to get another record out into the world, which I’m very grateful for. On the record is a tune titled ‘Eagle Dreaming’. I like to think he’s flying high with the mastery of eagle now, dreaming a new life into existence, full of cherry juice and pastries. Rest in peace Steffen. I expect to see you in my dreams.
If anyone dreams of Steffen and would like to share it with me please do via the contact form on the following web link:

Meitheal (Irish pronunciation: [ˈmɛhəl]) is the trio of Vicky Langan from Galway, David Colohan of Longford and Mike Gangloff of Virginia. All are deeply involved in esoteric musical forms of various kinds (Wölflinge, Raising Holy Sparks and Pelt respectively) but each succumbs to the irresistible pull of some kind of folk music, both through influences weighing on their aforementioned identities and via, for example, Langan's deep involvement in the Irish Sacred Harp community and Gangloff's fiddle and voice in old-time trio the Black Twig Pickers.STIAN SKAGEN & ERIKK MCKENZIE perform at TUSK Festival 2012HARMONICROOMS2013-05-12 | ...Mike Heron & Trembling Bells - Log Cabin Home in the SkyHARMONICROOMS2013-05-08 | Mike Heron & Trembling Bells play in the Hyde Park Picture House in Leeds on Wednesday 27th March 2013.
