Come closer on Spotify & more

My track Come Closer is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer and other platforms.

When I started experimenting with music production, sounds and my own ideas in early 2024, mostly out of curiosity, I could not yet imagine what would slowly grow from it.

First attempts turned into my own tracks, my own sound worlds and, over time, a stronger and stronger drive to shape sounds, create moods and make something of my own.

Come Closer is one of those tracks, and for me it is also a special step. For a long time, I did not want to use my own voice in my tracks at all. That makes it all the more meaningful to me that this track can now be heard on the major streaming platforms.

I wrote, recorded the vocals, produced, arranged, mixed and mastered Come Closer myself.

That is why this release is more to me than just another release. It is a very special moment.

Thank you to everyone who listens, gives me feedback, shares, supports me and walks this path with me. I do not take that for granted, and I truly appreciate it.

I would be very happy if you followed me on the streaming platforms. It supports me a lot and helps my tracks become more visible and reach more people.

Elana - here I am

I actually wanted to stay invisible. But now I’m here. This site is a space for encounters, exchange, detours, and new beginnings. Nothing is polished here. Everything is allowed to exist: curiosity, courage, strength, doubt, melancholy, light, and shadow. I created this space because I’m done hiding my music and my art. I believe that sound can connect people, leave a mark, and open doors. I’m looking for real exchange, where everyone has room to share what they carry. Maybe you’ll recognize something of yourself in a sound. Maybe you’ll find something you’ve been looking for.

Maybe you'll find something here that you've been looking for.

Sound - My Tracks

Come Closer

The first draft of “Come Closer” was written in the summer of 2025, while I was on the road during a long drive.

A few months later, I found myself in a very intense phase, not knowing exactly where to go next musically. But one conversation brought me back to the question of why music has always been so important to me. Those words stayed with me for a long time.

I remembered what music awakens in me. Why I started making music as a child. And how much can emerge when I let go while working on a piece, without needing to know beforehand what shape it will take in the end.

“Come Closer” begins with a heartbeat. Everything else remains open and belongs to the moment in which it is heard.

Between Borders and Paradise

This short medley brings together excerpts from Acoustica, Lost in Paradise and Beyond Boundaries.
In just over a minute, you get a first impression of my sound world, with moments that grab you quickly and make you want to hear more.
The full versions of the tracks each tell their own story, with their own arcs, breaks and spaces and they go much further than the medley suggests. If you’re new here, this is a good place to start before diving into the individual tracks. It’s best experienced on headphones.

Acoustica

On my last trip, I wrote some lyrics very quickly and decided to turn them into music once I got home. While I was working on that idea, a second track split off from it, almost like a branch growing from the same source. That track became Acoustica. Acoustica moves between driving beats, melodic layers, and organic sounds that merge into one another. You can even hear my breath, sharp and restless, pulled into the rhythm. It’s not a replacement for the original song. It became its own piece with its own voice.

Beyond Boundaries

In this version, Beyond Boundaries appears in a new guise.
Beyond Boundaries is a musical journey that moves beyond usual genre lines and brings together different styles, instruments and atmospheres.
The track takes its time to unfold. Motifs emerge, disappear and return in altered form. Between quieter passages and increasingly dense layers, a tension slowly builds.
Like most of my tracks, it is not set in stone.
This version reflects how I hear it today, after going back into the mix and adjusting the sound.

Lost in Paradise

Lost in Paradise was created after a round trip in 2024. The track captures the intense impressions, sounds, smells and moods that stayed with me along the way. It blends electronic beats with atmospheric sounds and reflects the search for a special place somewhere between memory and longing.

It is the in-between state of being on the road. You are no longer quite where you come from, but not yet where you want to arrive. Somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

Robo Luv

Robo Luv is about two beings, maybe human and machine or something in between, slowly approaching each other. They circle, test, pull back, and come closer again. There’s curiosity, tension, and attraction. It’s not clear how it ends.

Step Back

“Step Back” was my first vocal track and was not originally meant to be released. At first, there were lyrics, but I completely discarded them during the recording process. In the end, the track grew out of vocal improvisation and turned into something very different from what I had initially planned.

About me

I’ve been close to music for as long as I can remember. It was always there. As a child and later as a teenager, music helped me release what I couldn’t say out loud. It became the only language that stayed when everything else started to fall apart.

I’ve been singing since I was a kid and I’ve performed on stage. Over the years I lost that voice somewhere between decisions, expectations, and daily life. Those things promised safety, but I couldn’t silence the music. At some point your own sounds come back. They return in different shapes, sometimes soft, sometimes loud, sometimes tender or raw, and they insist on having space.

Change and companions

Then came a day that turned my life upside down. Everything changed. I had to relearn basic things, getting up, walking, and finding a way forward in a life that didn’t feel like mine anymore. It took years, with hospitals, rebuilding, and detours. Every step felt uncertain, but I kept going.

One of those steps was starting piano lessons at twenty-eight to finally give a childhood wish a real chance. At first it was careful and almost shy, like meeting an old love in secret. I spent countless hours practicing, learning classical pieces, working through different styles, and improvising. At the same time I kept searching for something of my own, chords and rhythms that open something in me and feel like home.

I also felt the need to sing again, so I started taking vocal lessons. At the beginning it was curiosity and longing. I wanted to reconnect with my voice without pressure and without expectations. Singing became part of how I heal and how I take space. I want to find my own sound and allow it to be heard.

Music, process, and sound space

In early 2024 I took it one step further and started producing my own music. I had no formal training, no guidance, and no outside support, only curiosity and the need to try. I wanted to know what happens when I let go of rules, expectations, and other people’s frameworks. I slowly stepped away from the structures I’d relied on, classical piano lessons, jazz lessons, and playing other people’s work, because I wanted to hear what’s actually mine.

After about a year and a half I had ten finished tracks, plus sketches, ideas, fragments, and a lot of new experience. My tracks aren’t perfect. Each one is its own place, its own mood, its own chapter. My music is driven by atmosphere, movement, and the unexpected. Every track is an experiment and a way of finding myself again.

I’m always listening for new sounds, from everyday noise, from travel, from nature, from cities, and from instruments I pick up or return to. Every instrument, every chord, and every sound carries its own story and its own voice. That’s what shapes my sound. I stay open and I don’t lock myself into one thing. This space will keep growing with new tracks, ideas, and moments over time. Feel free to come along and stay as long as it feels right.

Phoenix - A Metaphor of Transformation

The phoenix on my back is a reminder of what shaped me. It’s not about victory. It’s about change.
It’s the right to grow new wings out of darkness, damage, and second tries.
I’m not willing to bury what matters most to me ever again, no matter how many times I have to start over.
