My expressions are very personal and I like to explore different sides of myself. A lot of my ideas are inspired by my dreams. There is so much going on in my dream world. I love to discover the unexplored depths. I like to invoke some sort of intense emotions and visions in my listeners/readers/viewers. My music (as Nebelhexë, Andrea Nebel, Aghast Manor, amongst other projects) is often viewed as dreamy, trancy, melancholic, magical... or simply dark and disturbing.

I just love to explore the dark and unexplored, it’s so familiar to me. My curiosity always took me to weird places. I always had this urge to do everything once. I have done pretty many daring and strange things in my life and tend to end up in interesting situations. Strange situations always seem to find me and I love it that way. My artistic ideas are very personal and often based on those experiences. My lyrics and stories also often focuse on childhood fears and abuse.

I always was in touch with my inner instincts and animalistic senses. I felt often like a caged animal amongst the "domesticated" human apathy around me... well, I guess I still do, really. I have always valued freedom and independence and I follow my heart and my own values no matter what. To me it’s all about understanding and exploring our natural impulses. Thus it's also about respect towards all our fellow creatures. Mental and physical fitness are very important to me. I like kick-boxing and I hate artificial foods.

I love exploring new places, different cultures, gothic atmospheric cities and I could run around forever taking pictures of old buildings. I love to drive fast with the windows down and I love the sea.

I'm a nomad in spirit and I guess I'm quite restless. I am also quite competetive, I love to set goals and I love to learn... Life is for moving forward and changing, transformation. Even the downs I enjoy (sometimes), they make you stronger. I'm really freaked out by people that stand on a mental stand still and are stuck in the past.

I’ve been working for major Hollywood directors/producers and I aim to work further with interesting and charismatic people in the film biz, both the States and Europe... I used to work for Hammer movies as well and I look forward to some exciting opportunities.

I also work as a secret agent... Er, no, okay, I made that one up...

I'm really honoured that I inspire so many deep and interesting souls out there. But please don't "follow" my ideas. Always be true to your own selves. NEVER BE AFRAID TO BE GREAT. :-)


(About living, fans and spiritual quests; taken from Life magazine):

Some people totally get what I do and I am truly grateful to have so many amazing spirited individuals around as friends, associates and fans. I love and admire those that seek their own personal freedom! But of course there are many not so smart people out there that have some crazy ideas about who I am, like those that think that I still am in the same place I was ten years ago, or indeed that I live in a primitive hut in the woods or something, it's kind of irritating...
But in the end, people believe about an artist what they want to believe. Some totally get you, others don't, and some have this really weird fantasy about you and they create this image of you that is totally not you at all. It's kind of funny and one really has to take it with a sense of humour and self-irony... But I guess it's like this for most artists, and we can't really control or even care what people out there want to believe and write about us...
