In May 2025 we again travelled to the Sorbian speaking region in eastern Germany to spend a week making new music. This time Izzy Rabey was able to join Efa Supertramp for the songwriting stage of the project and we had the luck to also bring new collaborator Barbs Dudek along for the ride, sharing in the music production and mixing duties with Nick Ronin.

The work took place in the Kulturfabrik in the sleepy town of Hoyerswerda, unfortunately mostly known for a racist pogrom after the fall of the Iron Curtain. The rehearsal room in this modern arts centre became our creative hub for the week and despite initial doubts we managed to reach our target of writing an album’s worth of material in five days and managed to create 10 songs that contained the Sorbian lanuage, which was a target for the Sorbian funders of the project.

With everyone having busy lives we have still yet to get the final mixing and mastering done on the recorded tracks – but Nick and Barbs are on the case and we hope to share something with you soon!
