Longhair
: "The Covid Pandemic hit Germany in March 2020 and by the 15th of March all of the public life was shut down. It was the same day where my son
Rio
was born. For me, this early stage of the pandemic had something very intimate and private, since I was forced to stay at home with my young family for weeks. In May 2020, I started to leave the house, for other occasions then just going to the shop or taking a walk and that was the time I started working on
Hotel Solaris
. It was an intense creative rush: in eight weeks the album was written, performed, and produced in one flow. I had two days every week, where I could go to the studio for four hours and that time the album was done. It had a corpus in a sense that I knew I wanted a faster or a slower track at points, but the whole hotel idea came when I saw photos of the old Hotel Arkada on the Croatian island Hvar, that my extremely talented friend
Marcella Zanki
shot on her holidays. They show a well preserved socialist-brutalist hotel architecture in the middle of the beautiful Adriatic and for me it was like looking at pictures from a timeless place, without knowing where and when it exactly was, totally surreal. I liked that idea of a hotel that stands as an escape symbol from the real world, which was something everyone needed when the pandemic was building stronger and stronger. I decided to call it
Hotel Solaris
, inspired by the novel from
Stanislav Lem
, where Solaris is a planet covered by an ocean which triggers our subconscious mind to become reality. It all fit at the end and
Hotel Solaris
was done."
