About
The mind can’t capture what the heart do not see. Between the dark hours and the first hints of morning light, sneaking through the woods marks her day before she enters another place of interest. Next to the old beech trees, Tina Loeffler sits in her tiny studio, thinking about the pines she recognized along her way. The location, the bark, the smell. Three guitars, a ukulele, a piano downstairs and an accordion between a lot of books, drawings, notes, bringing back the folk sound which reminds us of Gregory Alan Isakov and the soothing vibes of Roo Panes. Collecting, capturing, drawing and getting lost in the essence of something, that’s what her heart is beating for. When in her childhood an old tape deck given to her by her mother was the tool of choice, today she produces soothing Indie Folk tunes in her home studio next to the woods. “Sometimes, the Black Forest in front of my door seems to be the darkest place in the world” she says, “but sometimes, it seems to soak up all the light of the sun.” A song might have been a poem at first, or a thought coming to her mind, while taking a picture of something of her interest. “There is a lot of movement in the world and I always try to focus on one thing, instead of many. Not only it is soothing and brings you calmness, it also helps to get a better understanding of yourself and your surroundings.”
