I see a river Riveted faces A congregation A tale unfolds (they have) a mind of their own The threads unravel Silver coin Paid to the devil A tale unfolds It feels as though I´ve lost all memory A corpse without a mind Passing through the light….

Lost Mind 05:19
lost mind light the way glowing shell of what used to be A white light in this shallow place a momentary glance at something sacred lost mind guide the way glowing shell of what you used to be move into the light A glorious space A momentary glace At something sacred Give me the life, give me the life Give me this life, alive Give me the life, give me this life ….. Alive

Jeanne 04:10
I see that line Stretching beyond reason Hold hold hold (your horses) Forward my friend Forward my friend Solve that riddle Guided by light Looking for light Resting in light Guided by light Looking for Light Resting in light The ideal scene A movie A story line Your story line I dreamt of flying having wings and gliding across the starlit sky Water running below me my animals were following A golden light was shining from my chest my animals were following I dreamt of flying having wings and gliding across the night sky I dreamt of flying in the body of a swan My falcon by my side My animals were following The sky…..

Sanity Splendour A wide expanse With the heart of a bull Electrifiy Her word against mine Swallow us We cry we cry we cry we cry an endless tale Silver mind Water Oh we are one In the heart of a girl Limitless light Silver mind Truth We cry an endless tale You are the eye Your are the pain You are a knife You die Your dream You are the light You are alive

Coming 03:36 video
It all revolves around the heart I didn´t see this coming Your heart Your soul Your mind At war A beating Feel it rise arise…. Fill me, truth Oh my mind.

If Loved 04:00 video
Your name I speak Within the walls Clarify Full of epiphanies I cling to this life With all I have Here we are alive Fiercely full of trust All whole amongst the raw If loved (man will amount to much) If loved (woman will amount to much)
8.
Your money is not my king Your war is not my king Your fires are not my king Your hatred is not my king You pain is not my king Your lies are not my king Your money is not my king I answer to different gods Getting in line getting in line to grab the gold I am the guard of dreams Let this power grow Let this freedom shine
9.
Truth 05:14
TRUTH You make me dream of limitless possibility How does the truth need to be told? How does the truth want to be told? A silver mouth? A golden mouth? A wooden mouth? A spoon? The truth is always changing.. Is it? I come from a dream blue powder dust Nothing more than dirt but everything I come from a dream Blue powder dust Juniper berry and moss I come from a dream…..

about

"I am always searching for beauty. And with beauty I mean a sort of acceptance that dark and light belong together. That there´s a holistic beauty that includes the pain as well as the joy. A larger harmony that includes the mess of being a human being in the strange world we created. The earth and our world are almost like two separate things, which want to be reunited again."

KENICHI & THE SUN´s world is animistic: Every leaf, every branch, every star is imbued with soul. The shamanic apparition on some of the artwork around "WHITE FIRE" is connected with the assumption of an ancient ritual androgyny. Yet KENICHI & THE SUN’s makeup and costumes also reflect a completely different heritage: the influences of psychedelic, glam rock, New Romantic, the Afrofuturism of Sun Ra, the great patron saint of the androgynous and queer, David Bowie. There are also female visual artists, such as the mystic of minimalist painting Agnes Martin, or poets like the American Anne Carson. The sun may provide the life energy, but the radiation is that of the moon, the night, the abstract dream.

KENICHI & THE SUN is part of a Banshee ghost line, a pop witch order that ranges from Hildegard von Bingen to Kate Bush, Nico, and Siouxsie,
to Björk, Fever Ray and FKA twigs.

"It is not often that you encounter art which feels truly original and with WHITE FIRE, Katrin Hahner aka KENICHI & THE SUN has reached a level of artistic expression that is rare in this day and age.. someone who is not interested in trends or worn-out clichés — instead delivering a concept with an unbreakable vision; a commitment to spreading a message of empowerment, positivity and healing to the minds of the whole human race - brimming with such jarringly powerful feminine energy that it feels even more progressive and important for the world to hear.
WHITE FIRE is an album that feels both ancient and revolutionary, something primal yet also kaleidoscopic - as she calls it: ’Sci-Fi Gospel’ - A message of love for, and maybe from the future." ( Robbie Moore)
