2 years ago, we launched Downstream on my 3rd original album 'Chi Might III'. The 18-minute song quickly became a fan favorite, so we thought about coming up with a successor one day. The day is now, so here we go, we hope you enjoy!

ALERT. Some scammer who keeps stealing my profile picture and who keeps pretending to be me keeps commenting on my channel, asking people for personal information in order to claim a present. We keep reporting him, and he keeps coming back, it just never stops. PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR

A perfect second part for Downstream, same spririt, same enchantment. As usual Sina keeps her promises, and give even more than expected. Thanks to all who collaborated to give birth to that enthralling piece.

Klasse Sound. Da macht es Spaß reinzuhören, nicht nur einmal, zumal die 4 Beteiligten überragende Musiker sind. Und Sina zeigt wie immer ihre Vielseitigkeit. Wunderbar.

I was last Tuesday 11th of October in the Düsseldorfer Tonhalle for the Rock the Opera concert with you of course on the drums.
First time I saw you live. What a concert, fantastic. I must say that all the solists were great singers and musicians. Top professionals.
I did notice that the applause and cheers were much louder when you were introduced. There were a lot of people in the audience who came for you, I suppose. (as we did)
So, a sincere thank you from Belgium and keep on making wonderful You Tube posts.

Here is where we as fans really get to experience true quality musicianship. Great job by all here but Sina your drumming here is par excellence.

[Musician-Lee]

I echo the comments already made, as this is simply in another league. Fusion between so many styles, clearly showing the jazz influences you previously showed to us from your ArtEZ university studies. Having Mike there, on this final basement video is quite emotional, I expect, especially for him! Noah adds a truly first class sax part.

[CharlesRausch]

A little jazzy, a little big band sound, some suspenseful melodies, love it! Sina, over on the Channel Member side, you said this song was nearly two years in the making, I’d say it was certainly time well spent. Even though all of the instruments were splendidly played and arranged, it’s listening to, and watching your percussion mastery that I truly love. Many thanks for a really great tune, and very much so for being the wonderful person you are:))

Born and raised in New Orleans, great Jazz will always be enchanting and mesmerizing to my soul. Uwe's melodic piano score and Noah and Mike's instrumental texture and expression here are nothing short of invigorating. Your drum creation in this shows a talent and maturity that would convince any musician that you are a seasoned jazz session drummer with decades of experience. This is indeed a fitting sequel to Downstream! Well done team. 🧡

Really enjoyed this wonderful musical arrangement. The quitar loved the Sax your drumming is the reason I'm here I studied the Alto Sax in music class in high school wish I had stuck with it, but I didn't have the maturity, drive and talent like you. As for Thanking us for sticking with you I feel I can go out on a limb and say everyone here loves you your an incredible, wonderful fantastic, giving and generous woman. Oh ya one last thing. Thanks for wearing my favorite yellow chucks have a great weekend as well Sina. 👍

[toneman]

Funk and Rockin ' ...all at the same time !

[ToddA.Turcotte]

What a fantastic performance, arrangement, video production! A very fitting Original Song by Sina, Noah and Mike to end the basement studio chapter!

[marklapierre]

Very nice collaborative effort between several highly talented musicians. This is what you do best Sina. Do good, be safe.

[blanchertthomas]

‘ Superb Skills ‘., Sina, You’re The “ Magic “ In Music … You Make It Come To Life So Wonderfully Sounding ., In A Very Special Way

[gerhardschick]

Great music. I think I will miss your basement studio sometimes … Big, big „Thank You“ to Mike for all engagement and hard work over all this years of great music !!

[KemWhite]

A really excellent performance by everyone especially Noah-Benedikt and you. It's always fun to watch the drum performance on your videos. This one was no exception. Loved the lively jazzy beat.

[rodneywalker]

Just when I thought that you could never outdo Downstream, you release Upstream and completely captivated me! BRAVO 👏 👏
So opposite but yet still alike, each one different but yet still the same!

Thank you for this Amazing offering!! Have a GREAT day:)

[johnvonsauers]

great way to start the day, Sina on the drums. thank you Sina👍👍👍❤❤

[freddyvlachos]

Astonishing, what powers of focus and indomitable power of fluid transition from power strokes to rapid gentle attenuation, that only Jazz can accommodate. Fabulous Saxophone accompaniment, while Sina attracts the most gifted. The time dilation of this piece when performed by these stellar musicians leaves you yearning for more. Sina demonstrates new heights of versatility and renders the same effect of the cool fresh breeze on the mountain tops of the Alps.

[davidschaefer]

My Friday mornings routine never wavers ... get up, turn on my computer, go straight to YouTube to see if Sina has posted anything new. I am rarely ever dsappointed and this morning is no exception ... yet another fantastic creation. Thank you so much Sina for all the wonderful music you share, and for all the new artists you have worked with over the years that I now follow. You and your great team are hands down the very best ... a talent beyond compare.
