The sound
Some moments pass.
Others change us.
An unknown planet. A haunted hall. A sea voyage that never arrives. And sometimes the way leads inward. However different the stories, they all start the same way: with a step across a threshold.
That’s why the pieces last as long as they do. Going there and back takes time.
Enter the sound. Stay for the journey.
Twelve pieces, recorded in a single night. Each one is an excerpt we picked ourselves — the stretch that shows what the piece does. The full album is on Bandcamp.
Live at Rockin’ Rooster Club

Live
One night, one room.
No second take.
This is where pieces become something shared — immediate and alive. Come as you are. Leave with an echo.

The room changes.
The music remains.
Lights fade, rooms empty, years move on — yet something of every night stays with us. Twenty years of clubs, community halls and festival stages.

Nothing is staged.
One imagined world, one live room — two ways into the music.

Perpetual Moments · in progress
He cut the moments into pieces.
None of them was his to keep.
An overture and seven parts, a little over thirty-five minutes. It follows someone who lies awake at night trying to get a grip on the future — and what that costs him. That’s all we’re giving away for now. It’s been in the live set since 2025.

Band
Five musicians.
One unfolding story.
Emerald Edge started in the autumn of 2003 as an idea between Volker Faas and Martin Wendler. Two decades later that idea is five people, an EP and three albums — and both of them are still in the band.
Dream Theater, Rush and Marillion are in there, and so are Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd and Metallica. What comes out of it takes its time: the longest piece on the live album runs nineteen minutes, and Perpetual Moments, in the live set since 2025, runs thirty-five.
Alice Aschauer has been singing and playing electric violin since 2006, Artur Wlossek has been on drums since 2009, and Roland Genske added keyboards and another voice in 2024. Martin Wendler plays bass — and a didgeridoo that turns up when you least expect it.
