Like past MAXXESS & AXESS-MAXXESS titles, this too is an album for fans that enjoy instrumental electronic music played of a mix of synths & guitars!

Electronic sounds meet the primal power of the mountains – this is ‘Berggeist’.
On this instrumental journey, atmospheric synthesizers, guitars and acoustic sounds merge into a multi-layered soundscape that moves between stillness and powerful motion.
Inspired by mist, wind, stone, altitude and solitude, the album explores that particular experience that emerges when everyday life falls away and only the path landscape and your own rhythm remain.

‘Berggeist’ is a musical approach to the mountains – not as a backdrop, but as a direct experience of vastness, transience and a natural world that does not submit to humankind.
It continues the musical path of its predecessor ‘Waldgeist’ without repeating it. Electronic instruments once again form the sonic foundation, but this time guitars and acoustic elements play a more prominent role. The music moves between quiet, meditative passages and rhythmic, powerful moments.

“Rather than portraying specific landscapes, I wanted to capture the feeling of being on the move: the contrast between exertion and rest, closeness and vastness. The result is an album about movement, altitude and solitude – and about what the mountains do to us when we allow ourselves to truly experience them”

Recorded between 2025 and 2026 at Baumhaus-Studio, Heubach in Germany Max Schiefele (of MAXXESS and AXESS-MAXXESS fame) composed all 9 tracks and performed the music using electronic and acoustic instruments. He also handled the production, mastering for the album, plus the photos used on the artwork.

‘Berggeist’ is released on 27th October 2026.
