     Behind stone walls stands tall dark Brachelshof, a building with a past. Throughout the Middle Ages, it housed mercenaries with nefarious purposes. During the second World War it was taken over by the Nazis for the use of it's tower. In the final days of war, being so close to the Dutch border, it was the part of Germany most heavily bombed in the allied invasion. Half of the building was destroyed, leaving the tower and one remaining side. It changed hands many times after the war, including at one point becoming a house of prostitution.

     Today, converted into a recording studio and light center, much work had to be done to make it function. The sensitive children of the family living there would see apparitions and strange energies that interfered with daily life as well as the business. Healers and consultants were brought in from England and around the world. The ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui was applied, and gardens and trees were planted utilizing the sacred geometric patterns of the Knights Templar.

     Prayer, fasting and lightwork were rhythmically practiced until enough energy had shifted by the summer Erik Berglund was there, leading a workshop and recording Project Earth, that the birds had returned for the first time in fifty years to Brachelshof.

     As Brachelshof itself stands as a symbol for transformation, so too is the music created here for the transformation of all the Earth's shadows and pain into the vibrations of light and peace.
