Growing up I was taught to believe, anything is possible, anything you want, everything is possibleThe power to move mountains, the will to change the worldFaith be my inheritanceSo I used it to shape the worldIn the distance hear el grito, la guitara de mi tia, fireflies on the horizon, open eyes , we search and find ‘emIn the distance hear the drum beat, ‘round the fire conjure spirit, from the East a new beginning break the habits of our bloodIn the distance lost my mother, first her memory, ability to know something was wrong, pick up the phone and calm the fireLost direction and all confidence, as you spread your wings. no grounding force to keep the family unifiedIt requires more and more to counter balance negativity a world stricken by sickness attack the body and the mindA people divided by inability to comprehend the dissolution of human rights for the sake of human lifeA fight against a worldview, divisive in it’s rhetoric, cruelty enshrined each and every single time,You ask me what I want, the future that I dream, the dream I formulate, a formulation in all its glory and it’s shine

Nala Tessloff
2024-09-01 17:00 - 23:00
Nala Tessloff is a singer/songwriter/producer and visual artist from Hamburg, Germany. In March 2024, she released her sombre and soulful solo debut, ‘Daydream,’ which features influences from her work in pop, film music, high culture, and performance art.

What does a lullaby for a dream sound like? How does it feel to rush parallel to the course of the world and still lose touch in your isolation? What would it be like not living up to your expectations and throwing them away?Nala Tessloff asks herself these questions in her songs and finds only one answer in her brokenness: there is also beauty and truth in giving up, in failure. This is evident in her voice, which is given enough space to unfold in her productions.

They give space to discover a (true) strength in one’s weakness. They are finely curated sounds in which one may feel protected and let oneself go. Or as Nala herself describes it:

“The songs don’t want anything. They are rather something I just had to get rid of. I hope to touch people and give comfort, maybe just by knowing that they aren’t alone with a feeling”

In this sense, Nala’s songs speak a universal language that is accessible and embracing. And in the end, there is the important realization that we all share the same emotions and are connected through them.
