First Visit to New York 5-17.3.2023

It was nice beautiful cold spring morning when we the first day  walked from Brooklyn Oceanhill Brownsville to Manhattan. The metro get familiar too, when we  get back often in the evenings to Cassandra´s private room hostel. Many songs started to form and every morning we recorded the song or two Tomi had wrote in the early morning. Sound Paintings is recorded that way in New York during this first visit. Our experiences and impressions is hidden and found in these songs, in album New York: an observation vol.1 Sound Paintings.
