Music                            Wolfen                 18 December 2025


   Wolfen, and Wohnkomplex II in Wolfen-Nord in particular, is sort of
   East Germany's field of experiments.  It once experimented with
   communism here, and now I sit on the top floor of what they built
   here, experimenting with organ music.

   This album is a musical portrait of Wolfen-Nord as I saw it in
   December 2025, and I seriously think Wolfen-Nord has the sound of an
   organ, as no other instrument could describe it better.  I must admit
   working on it led me to reconciliation with the town and district
   where fate brought me during an interesting period of my life.

   Since I've lived in other parts of town beyond Wolfen-Nord, the album
   is simply called Wolfen so nobody feels left out.  The cover photo is
   actually one I shot in Calbe, as I never caught fog that thick in
   WoNo itself.  The album title font was taken from a dusty old ORWO
   film box sitting on my shelf, from Wolfen's own film factory.
