When he was fifteen his music life was put on hold when he destroyed a Bechstein piano while rewiring it.

Waldeck later went to law school (though his heart was still with music). He finished law school and became a copyright lawyer. Then he heard about a case that changed his focus from law back to music.

"It was during the time when George Harrison got sued for ripping off an old Motown tune," Waldeck recounts, "I realised the way forward was to work a melody until it didn't belong to anyone anymore."

He eventually stopped focusing on law altogether and concentrated on music.

Soon after his decision to leave law completely he moved (along with all of his electronic music equipment) to England. While in London, he met his vocal counterparts, former Incognito singer Joy Malcolm and Brian Amos, who worked on projects such as Pressure Drop. The three have been with each other ever since.

In 1996, Waldeck returned to Vienna, Austria and produced the Northern Lights EP, quickly gaining international attention through its biggest hit, Aquarius. A successful full length album, Balance of The Force, followed in 1998. Later that year, Balance of the Force - Remixed was released.

Waldeck has produced a multitude of albums while still in Austria. Unfortunately, however, many of them are out of print and are very scarce. The out of print albums include The Night Garden Reflowered, Balance of the Force, Balance of the force Remixed, Northern lights, and This Isn't Maybe.

Sometimes described as trip-hop Klaus's songs have a very calm and laidback theme. They often consist of mellow vocals sung either by Joy Malcolm or Brian Amos (although sometimes they consist of only Klaus's instrumentals). While some people have mixed feelings towards the male-female vocal fluctuations, others feel that they offer versatility in the sound while still maintaining the unique style of his music.

Fallen Angel
Waldeck Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shes at ease
With the past and the darkness
Listenning to nothing
But the soundtrack of her mind

Oh, shes alone
Drifting into insanity
The soundtrack of her mind

Fallen angel
Shes inside of me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Waldeck's song Fallen Angel describe the feeling of being lost within oneself, feeling comfortable in the darkness of the past and the depths of one's own mind. The female protagonist in the song is depicted as a "fallen angel" who has drifted into insanity, reflected in the "soundtrack of her mind" which is the only thing she listens to. The lyrics suggest that this soundtrack is ominous and haunting, reflecting the fallen angel's mental state.

The lyrics of the chorus particularly stand out in describing the internal storm that is raging within the fallen angel, mixing a sense of foreboding with a strange kind of admiration:

"Fallen angel
She's inside of me"

Taken as a whole, the lyrics of Fallen Angel paint a picture of a person who is struggling with their demons and is unable to find their way back to the light. The suggestion is that this person is alone with their thoughts and that their internal battles are consuming them from the inside out.

Line by Line Meaning

Shes at ease
She feels comfortable and relaxed

With the past and the darkness
Even with the difficult parts of her past, she is at peace

Listenning to nothing
She is lost in thought and not paying attention to her surroundings

But the soundtrack of her mind
She is immersed in the thoughts and emotions in her own head

Oh, shes alone
She is by herself and without companionship

Drifting into insanity
She is gradually losing her grip on reality

The soundtrack of her mind
Her internal thoughts and emotions are overwhelming her

Fallen angel
She has experienced a dramatic loss of grace or dignity

Shes inside of me
Her influence or memory has become a part of who I am
