For nearly thirty years he has traveled, with Ingrid his partner in
adventure and life, first overland from Europe to India, then to North and Central
America. Attempting to cross the Gulf of Mexico in a self built sailboat, they saved their
lives in storm, by rescuing themselves onto an operating oil-rig in the middle of the
night. For many years in New Orleans, and Key West, Florida, he now lives with his family
in Texas.
His most ambitious, as yet unfinished adventure, is the C.R.E.A.T.E. Eco-Raft, a huge
ocean-going raft, designed and built with his brother Chris and a team of volunteers, in
Key West. Constructed completely of recycled objects: 20.000 plastic Coca-Cola bottles,
500 scrapped automobile tires, 12 miles of lobster trap-line, etc., the Eco-Raft sailed to
Virginia where it lies waiting to complete the last leg of its journey: across the
Atlantic ocean to Europe, under the Flag of UNEP the United Nations Environmental
Programm.
Should this undertaking actually succeed, as he insists it will, "I whish him
Godspeed and a safe journey. No doubt this adventure will provide material for many new
songs, but for now I am glad to have had the chance to produce this album with him."
(Friedemann)
"Listen to the Sky" has recieved considerable critical acclaim in Europe. As so
many Biber productions it was "record of the month" in the music magazine
STEREOPLAY, and the weekly trade magazine MUSIKWOCHE saw such potential of popular appeal
that it predicted the CD to move into the top 50 of the German pop charts ("an extra
classy collection of songs that will excite both folk and pop fans").
