For this very first Spotlight Special, I’m talking with Chasing Tales, a.k.a Heiko Ritt. This singer songwriter based in Hamburg, put this piece together over a three year period. We’ll be listening to an exclusive clip of his single in the break about halfway through and my initial reaction to this piece was that it evokes expressionist colourful emotion, with clashing and cascading drums, celebrating a change in his personal life and a redirecting of focus, ending on euphoria as the horns blast in. Originally stated to be touring in April, Heiko has been promoting his single over social media where you can find the track now. We talked about the single and his journey to the release as well as cutting a little deeper into the black denim to see how he thinks. We will be taking a little peep into the single during the interview so watch out for a very special clip amidst the trains of thought. I met up with Heiko in the park where we both brought microphones, so excuse the slight changes in quality, I seemed to pick up the incessant sound of a crow party and of course, we were 6 feet apart during the conversation.
