A sad farewell to Jullian of The Satellite Year

Dear friends, fans, musicians and all the further wonderful people from around the globe,

I have always loved playing music with my friends, spending hours and days on the road, in clubs, studios and rehearsal rooms with the people who had the same ambitions that I had.

For a couple of years this worked out pretty well. And if there was another chance, I would do it all again in the exact same way. I don’t wanna miss any of the experiences that I made in the past years as a member of this band, none of the good ones and none of the bad ones.

I was always proud to be a part of the satellite year, I was proud of the people that were ‘the satellite year’ and the people that helped us being a band, as persons as well as musicians – all together. I was proud of this little connected society. And every little step forward that this society achieved meant everything to me. Music connects…I had a wonderful opportunity to experience this fact. And I am more than grateful for this period in my life…And to be honest, without you, none of this would have been possible.

But suddenly the music and all the effort that made this little system work over years are being pushed aside by discussions and conflicts based on personal dissatisfaction, which more and more disrupt friendships, that had lasted and grown over years.
Three days ago, at night, I got a phone call of the four guys that I had played music, shared stages and buses with for more than 5 years now…decisions had been made it said…and I should no longer be a part of the band that I had given rise to.

I work up my courage and take this step right now, because I prefer to keep it (the satellite year as a band and as persons) in memory as a good thing. Not because I want to, but much more because I have to…I cannot deal with seeing the piece of art that I started some years ago with good friends being destroyed, with nothing being left behind except for grudge and malice. I am tired of fighting. I am tired of arguing. And I am particularly tired of justifying… “Sometimes it just feels better to give in.” (TBS)

I never would have guessed where this journey ends, when I made the suggestion to found the satellite year back in autumn 2007. But that’s where we are today. And maybe that’s all that counts right now…

my sincere thanks go out to every single one of you. Thanks for coming to the shows and supporting the music that I had been a part of.

all the best for you, guys.

take care
julian

We wish Julian the best of luck!
