Today I post the pics of a
restoring morning with my musician friend Galeb. Few days ago, due to
several and complicated reasons, we met in Regensburg, a
suggestive Bavarian town.
We had a walk, a coffee, a chat and a few jokes.. Then once again, we said good bye...
Who knows when will the
next meeting be!
Lukily any of us can keep track of his adventures by
listening his ...
One
fine day Galeb (Goran Erjavec) decided that his goal in life was not
mastering the art of classical guitar; on that very day he set aside
his ten-years-long classical bildung and chose the lure of
rock and roll, the rusticity of blues, the euphoria of funky.
Good
friends and fair musicians accompanied him in his first steps,
contributing to the realisation of his a first, genuinely felt EP.
This
was but the beginning of a long (and ever longer) series of journeys.
His
city had become too narrow for his creative flights, Galeb needed "an
open space". Next stop: New Zealand! Six fruitful months, that
brought him back with a lot of new ideas and the determination to
dedicate himself to music.
From
that moment on, the northern hemisphere of his art would be the
faithful voice of his "room-neighbour" and life companion:
Galeb's younger sister, the Seagull (Gaia Erjavec).
Galeb
and the Seagull make a powerful duo, performing captivating “100%
organic beach-music”... and warming up for the next departure
together. A year in Australia full of adventures and meaningful
experiences, that would see the fearless Galebs coming back
home with new energy and creativity.
Even
though separated for some time, following diverging paths, brother
and sister would shortly meet again at home, Trieste, just in
time to record "Sweet and Sour, Please!", their ticket for
the next destination: the crazy streets of Berlin.
Here
Galeb has the chance to share his experiences, emotions and passions
directly with the people and get the best of the city's vibrations to
cultivate with care the seeds of what will become "Picking
Flowers". A sincere solo album, the result of the first six
months busking in Berlin, with the Seagull and alone...
…
and the flowers are continuing to bloom! Soon, very soon, Galeb will
share with us the impressions of the last months of experiences,
meetings, travelling, and hard work!
Here's
“The Letter”, a taste of “The Sailor, The Bird ans the
Butterfly”, the new album.
Enjoy
and share the music!
Where to next?

If in these days you are in Berlin, you
might hear in the air the notes coming out from the guitar of a young tall guy,
curly haired and dressed up in a somehow old-fashion look.
Well, most probably you came across the
100% biological sound of Galeb and The Seagull, as its author Goran Erjavec
loves to define it. Chords and words meant to put together the puzzled feelings
that the rhythm of a frenetic way of life tend to scatter around.
Galeb and The Seagull is the nickname he chose
to label all his work, on the records sung also by his sister Gaia. Galeb and
Seagull meaning the same marine bird, the first term is Croatian.
In the premises of Alexander Platz, in
Mauerpark or at one end of the Turkish Market, always more people stop to
follow the fly of Galeb which brings on the heights of genuine and peaceful
reflection.
It is not by chance the considerable
presence of children among his listeners. They are often the first to recognize
the place where their serenity will never be left alone against the gusts of
rough winds.
Goran has a big wish: to let his
music be known. For this reason he will keep on playing facing the cold and
darkness of the upcoming winter.
