Meersein

 

Jan creator of the music project Meersein, has always been inspired by music, especially from the eighties. Growing up, his parents exposed him to various genres of music and Friday dance nights at home became a regular occurrence. His love for music was solidified when his dad took him to his first concert and he knew he wanted to be a musician.

 

Attending the Me’ra Luna Festival, a German musical festival held at Hildesheim, allowed Jan to experience different genres of music and he came to appreciate retro dark synth pop. This led to the creation of his new project, Meersein, where he explores this genre.

 

Meersein is a departure from his previous project, Heldenlos, where he explored Indie Pop Rock. With Heldenlos, Jan toured 40 cities in Germany, playing live concerts at various venues.  

 

The sea is a major source of comfort and inspiration for Jan and the name Meersein means to be the sea.  Meersein provides a  vehicle for Jan to explore darker music, taking inspiration from bands such as Depeche Mode and The Cure. He uses his songwriting to explore his feelings and ideas and has written music for Meersein in the hope of examining his own feelings.  It’s also Jan’s hope that his music can help those going through darker times by being relatable. 

 

Jan is a talented musician who is able to play guitar, piano, drums, keyboard, and synthesizers.  He creates all the music for Meersein as well as providing sophisticated and smooth vocals.   He plays a large part in the development of the aesthetic for the project and works with talented photographers and artists to help create his vision.  Jan also manages all his social media ensuring it fits the projects style.  

 

Apart from his musical projects of Heldenlos and Meersein, Jan is also a Radio Presenter.  His radio show, which he describes as a hand selected treasure trove of Dark Culture, airs every second Saturday of the month at 7pm on Oldenburg-Eins.  The common thread between all of these endeavors is Jan’s passion for music.  

 Jan enjoys live performances and hopes to be performing live as Meersein soon.  He is keen to perform in as many places as his outstanding music takes him.  For new listeners to Meersein, Jan wants people to be able to relate to his music and find solace within it and have a sense that they are not alone in their more challenging experiences in life.
