Between 1993 and 1995 Guido Negraszus lived and studied (audio-engineering) in Sydney Australia. During this time he worked with a lot of live musicians around Sydney. He also composed and recorded countless new music and used a variety of instruments to blend with his music: drums, guitars, bass, vocals, sax, trumpet, Chinese violin. After his return to Germany in 1995 he started to work on The Black Swan. The title idea came from his jogging time along Centenial Park in Sydney where he saw a lot of black swans. Tracks 1 - 5 were recorded in Germany (1995) while the remaining tracks were recorded in Sydney (1993 - 1995). This is a special & remastered version of the original CD release and contains 4 additional tracks from the original Black Swan recording sessions in Sydney (1993/1994).
