(IRISH REVIEWS)
DIVINE CONCERN is a Prison Music Project of Deacon Dr. Meins G.S. Coetsier (Vocals and Guitar) and Mr. Addi Haas (Piano/Accordion/Drums/Percussion). The two Musicians met each other before the gates of Fulda Prison in Germany. In 2019 Mr. Tilo Zschorn (guitar) joined the band. Inspired by Johnny Cash they go into prison on a regular basis and play music with the inmates.
- Their first creation and Limited Edition, the 2019 Demo Album ***WALK THE LION*** are sketches of sounds ("musikalische skizze"), born from their personal encounters with prisoners and from life experiences.
- The 2019 Summer Demo EP ***HEARTSET VIBES*** are songs expressing the human desire for love and the search for meaning behind and beyond prison walls.
- The 2019 Demo EP ***MAUERFALL (Reaching out Forward)*** of Divine Concern marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The band hails the courage of the eastern Germans who fulfilled the nation's dream of unification and freedom.
- The 2019 Single ***SING OF CHRISTMAS: MEDITATE ON EASTER*** of Divine Concern reminds us of the connection of faith between Christmas and Easter.
- Divine Concern developed for their 2020 Single ***ZEIT- Inscape Melody*** a self-described "divine pop" style that combines electronic music with biblical themes, pop melodies, poetic arrangements, and repetitive rhythms. The 2020-Quest for the Timeless in time!
- "Hearts of Stones / Summer Sound" is the 2020 Demo Single of Divine Concern. It reflects the human Search for Hope and Meaning during the pandemic lockdowns, with that summer prison feeling and a Johnny Cash Sound.
Searching for contemporary forms of religiosity, spirituality and art, they make a Sound behind barbed wire. They are: DIVINE CONCERN.
