collaboration means a lot to me.
it’s how i’ve made some of my favourite music.
and how i’ve evolved as an artist (and human!)
Like Gravity is our new short film about the collaboration that happens at the heart of Opia Community

A new short film about the art of collaboration. Like Gravity is out now.
In the autumn of 2025, Maximilian König and Jonas Meyer came into the OPIA world to start a conversation about creative collaboration.
Like Gravity is the result.

Sunrise Session III ft Sandrayati, RAKEL & Salóme Katrín on vocals & 4 incredible string players, performing a few songs we felt fit the occasion.
On this shortest day of the year, this is our tribute to brighter days ahead.
Wishing you all wonderful holidays!

2025 was also the year of the first release from my new project, SAGES, with the wonderful Loreen. Finally sharing something that has meant so much to both of us, and had been somewhat secretly working on for a long time.
Another highlight of 2025 was touring with my band Kiasmos from Europe over to Japan and Australia, which is always a great time. We played amazing venues, met awesome people, saw incredible nature, ate the best food, all in all a fantastic time!
A big thank you to everyone who came out!
A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring A Dawning into the world and thanks to all of you who have embraced the album with so much love. It was not the easiest of projects for me, but we have together created a joyous association with the music - which was what we always wanted.
As the end of the year is fast approaching, I wanted to look back at some highlights. Starting with A Dawning, the record by Talos and myself, which was released in July.
...and last but certainly not least, the merch I’m most passionate about, new socks!
These first two designs, Waves and Ekki hugsa, are our first entry into what will hopefully be regular sock drops over the coming months/years/decades. Both also designed Studio Torsten Posselt.
