Everything you hear is just one single take of acoustic guitar without any overdubs. All percussion sounds are played on the body of the guitar at the same time as the „normal“ strings sound.
Only the songs „Butterfly“ and „The Tribe“ have a loop at the end.
Special thanks and much love to...
Peter Kaiser for his patience, his time and the awesome sound of this album
Maria Haedicke for her love, inspiration and the wonderful design
Andreas Cuntz for building my incredible guitar
Daniel Hofmann for his fantastic photos
Adrian Gemmel for making my great musicvideos

My mother, my father and Marlene, my sister and her great family, our lovely family in America, in Germany and all over the globe, all of my awesome friends and of course my heroes Petteri Sariola, Mike Dawes, John Butler, Andy McKee, Victor Wooten, Flea and many more for beeing such a great inspiration for my life as a musician.

Christian Lehr shows the unexpected sounds and spheres that can be created with just a single acoustic guitar!
He excusively plays his own songs on his acoustic guitar that was built especially for him by the master guitar maker Andreas Cuntz.
His songs are purely instrumental for the most part using sounds that are generated by the guitar and its body as well as some looper and special effects.
