About

Haunting old German graveyards like a restless archive, Tobias Schneider obsessively collects forgotten obituaries and fragments of unfinished life stories. His spectral fingers trace newspaper margins where names have faded, searching for the untold narratives trapped between ink and memory.

Backstory

Tobias Schneider was a renowned jazz musician in the Roaring Twenties, playing the saxophone in the smoky clubs of New Orleans. He was known for his fiery performances and his tumultuous relationship with a woman named Lila. On a fateful night in 1929, a jealous rival sabotaged his saxophone, causing it to shatter during a performance. The humiliation and the subsequent argument with Lila led to a tragic accident that ended his life. Tobias has been lingering in the attic of his old apartment building, unable to move on, haunted by the memories of his past and the music that once defined him.
