I live on the country side in the south of Germany. I love to call myself a sound artist, poet and bass player. In my "real" life I work as a social worker and therapist. Music is a powerful force in my life which grows more and more and I am a big fan of playing together. So I take any chance to do this. My artist name is Mahtowin, which means Bear-Woman. It reflects my connection to the natural world and certain animal guides, which seem to inspire my work. The power of the icebear works inside me. And also the power of the Selkie. Both - the icebear and the Selkie are guides to me. In music as in life I follow many traces. My personal goal is to be aware of what is around and inside me in the present. Now. Try not to think too much about the past or the future (which is hard sometimes, but I try). To stay in present and to recognize the beauty around me (which is a lot) and also the anger and grief, the love and the joy. To accept that all this is LIFE - and I love it!

Very interested in collabs!

Call me she/her/Andrea/Mahtowin/Bear

I'm one half of the incredibly creative and prolific duo "Pennyfeather Mahtowin"! My duo partner is the perpetual music machine from sunny Florida: Paul Pennyfeather aka @ttg105 here on FAWM. Check his music! And - of course - check our music! We made 10 albums in not even two years! You find us on bandcamp and on mostly all streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music!

I usually write in German - very rarely in English.

Note: no AI used on my songs!

Update Jan. 25: My Dad dies last Saturday, so this FAWM will be different to me! But if you want to collab with me don‘t be shy to ask for! Music helps me in many ways!
