ABOUT THE VIDEO

The Amazon forests were burning. Forests in Africa, Siberia, California were on fire. Inside the tropical dome, all was quiet except for the water spray keeping the environment green. Outside, in the beautiful garden landscape, the drone of cars on the freeway interrupted the peace. Botanical gardens in the 16th century included medicinal gardens, now they offer space to research solutions for climate change, to heal the planet.

I really enjoyed my visit to the gardens and spent half a day walking around the grounds and visiting the greenhouses. If you visit Kiel, I would highly recommend a trip to the gardens.

Music by Leander Reininghaus, Dragon’s Head Nebula.

Leander Reininghaus
Musician, Composer

Leander Reininghaus worked as composer, producer and instrumentalist for CD-, movie-, dance- and theatre productions as well as for exhibitions and multimedia events. His music can be heard on more than 40 CDs.

He was founder of World Music band MOKA EFTI, with which he performed live in most European countries over a period of 10 years and recorded three albums.

His interest in livelooping (on stage since 1986) and textural music led to the recordings and solo performances of "STARSCAPES - Music Inspired By Views Of Space".

Always a wanderer between improvisation and conceptual music, he works currently as a soloist, as well as in several bands, duos and performance groups in and outside of Berlin.
