What does it take to master a skill? Sven Helbig‘s album is a loving tribute to generations of artisans, engravers, doctors, debaters, and of course musicians, kindly including new skills such as skateboarding and programming. Ironically, Helbig, a skilled drummer and composer, also had to learn a new skill during the release of this album: not the integration of brass and strings, not the cover arrangement, but Kickstarter.

Take a moment to think about the skills you have mastered. Perhaps you recall the arduous journey: how long it took to become proficient at your job, at a sport, or at seemingly mundane tasks such as cooking and driving (please do not do these things together). Perhaps you are trying to master a new skill, having picked up a new hobby or wrestling with the ever-changing world of technology. Perhaps the skill is simply how to make your relationship work.

According to some studies, mastering a skill can take ten thousand hours, and involves a great deal of repetition (think of martial arts movies), frustration, and perseverance. Helbig dedicates his album to the different stages of practice and acquisition, honoring the spirit of the muse.
