I was wondering which other possibilities you thought about but my conclusion is the one which developed over years being an independant artist. I always was one. 🙂 And yes it is also very important to be able to make fast and straight desicions and then go for it. Maybe later you find that it did not work out but most artists get stuck because they never finish something. But thats the point you need to be able to finish things and make your art visible for others. 1 out of 10 projects work.

I have now renamed the " Students Club " Tab in the HPCrazy Students Club to " Topics " - thats more understandable for everybody now I think. Thats the place where all students can add there own topics which they like to share or to discuss.

I have been an independent artist all my life so I want to share a few thoughts about my life in general and what I learnt to show what it means to be an independent artist to give others an idea what such life is like. I think the focus is on the word independent which means you don't have any backbone or a net which can catch you when you fall. This gives music and the way you express music a different vibe and you see music and they way you work with music in a total different way. On of my principles in my work as an independent artist always was that you have to touch people's emotions with your art because then people see a value in your work and then they hire you, or want to talk or interact with you and if you work independant you need to accept that you might never be able to reach the very big stages because if you want to you need to have other skills, like networking, socializing and these normal business things. I always found that if I went too deep into that world I lost my abilities to create music which touches the soul of people and so I personally decided to go the other way but as a consequence you need to be better then the others to reach fans just by the quality of your art. This way is the harder way but maybe the more honest way and it serves music most and for me personally this was always first - to serve music and to reach the highest level of emotional musical expression and the life of an independent artist supports this.

I want to share a few thoughts I went through in the past weeks and months which led to a personal reset which has started in these days which in fact will alter my artist work a bit and probably make it more personal then it was before. I think the past 12 months were challenging for nearly everybody on this planet in many ways. I always said to my close people or those I spoke to that the Covid crisis brings people to what they really are. And so I thought about my upcoming path as an artist and musician also with this new situation that hit artists probably most. I know that I have been very successful as an online instructor in the past 15 years. I have been an instructor at gibson.com at guitartricks.com and now since 2013 on my HPCrazy Guitar Channel. But beside this guitar player and guitar instructor there was always a second person with another artistic expression. I am a very spiritual person who dedicated my whole life to music and ways of expressing emotions with music but I am also an educated astrologer and trained in spiritual exercises. That was always my source of inspiration but till 2020 I always kept it more or less secret because I wanted to be seen as a mainstream musician. I made many thoughts about this in 2020 and in Nov. 2020 I decided to put my knowledge of Farbmusik, of Astrology and spiritual exercises into a brand new psychological - musical concept to help people in situations of crisis. So I set up a new website http://www.sternentherapie.com and one week later I had my first client. It was my Sister Monika - she got bad news from her doctor and needed support. So I took the challenge even I could see in her astrological chart that it was a " Make it or break it " situation. At the end she did not make it, but she left our world in complete peace and I must say at the very end of her life she got to her full spiritual strength and recognition. And that's what it's all about. When she passed away I knew that this was a sign for me that I also should start this. The principle of Sternentherapie is very much connected to music. Beside the councelling with astrology you get your personal meditation music to work on your themes. When a client asks for that additional feature I improvise a song on piano related to a person's current situation. In my normal artist work I will now more include my full person and my full knowledge. Well it was always there but somehow I hid it behind pictures with no words or music with no words. This will change now. I said goodbye to the old mainstream musician I was, I will leave more or less my social media life on Facebook, Instagram and I will start to do Sternentherapie, Farbmusik and continue the HPCrazy Academy but will also bring more psychological aspects into it. And so this webpage here will be the center of my work in the future. So this my personal reset which I liked to share. If you also made a reset which you want to share please let us know in your personal profile. 🙂

Yes as I said it's just 5 km and in Summer I go there for Swimming 🙂 Maybe there is something in the water. 😄 But serious - Küsnacht is a place of rich and sophisticated people so maybe thats one of the reasons. I have my first customers who took readings with the music and they seem to love it. 🙂 I am doing astrology for many years but just besides music and now I just wrote a concept.

I didn't know C.G.Jung was living in Switzerland now I checked where exactly he lived and it's just 5 km from my place 😄 You can check google maps. I am in Egg ZH and he was in Küsnacht ZH. I launched a website about that concept which I developed in german in Nov. - my sister was my first client and she was in completly peace when she left. So we achieved what was the goal in her case. Now I am starting to spread the word a bit now and the response in very good till now. You can check http://www.sternentherapie.com

Hey Sara, now I took the time to listen to your arrangment and I must say I like the material you have choosen for it. Specialy the diminished arpeggio which you used. I love that one. Solo arangments always need a certain time till you are able to play it totaly fluent - even I have to really work out solo guitar arrangments for a while till they work. So just take your time and keep up the practicing - after a while make a break and work on something else for a few days and then come back to that one again - then suddenly it will work fluently... one day. But very nice and tasty 🙂

Thats in fact a plan - but I will do that on my farbmusik YouTube channel. I tried to bring up the topic on the HPCrazy channel a few times also with the meditation tutorials but somehow the topic was not so popular. I think with Astrology and the colors ( Farbmusik ) it will work out.
