Theklas Traum is a German Singer|Songwriter, but she struggles every day with autism, which makes her feel very isolated in this world. The Lyrics are very personal to her, she wanted to bring awareness in this message, also for other people, either autistic or not, that feel the same way.
Matomic’s ultimate goal for this piece was to bring her story to light, and I’m very honoured to have been able to share her story through this Edit that I made for them.
Thank you Matthias , Kathrin & my friend Titofffee for making this a possibility.
Matomic’s words:
A while ago, I had the honour to become great friends with a remarkable singer, Kathrin a.k.a. 'Theklas Traum'.
Meanwhile we've had many intriguing conversations about how our brains are wired differently and how different we experience the world. It also made me understand how many misconceptions about #autism there are, still today.
As a response, we decided to produce a song together in which Kathrin expresses how she perceives the world as an autistic person and struggles to understand society's unwritten codes.
In her words:
"I am “Theklas Traum”, a singer and autistic. The song “Wolke” describes how the normal life is a daily challenge for me from my very personal perspective. I wear a mask, I pretend and I withdraw from society, just to avoid rejection.
“Wolke” is a reminder to accept the people as they are. Everyone should have the right to live authentically and to be a part of our society at the same time."
We would love for the song to resonate with whoever is struggling with Autism Spectrum Disorder or whoever feels isolated from society for whatever reason.
The song, titled 'Matomic ft. Theklas Traum - Wolke' is available on Spotify as from 2nd of April, International Autism Awareness Day: https://spoti.fi/3zqhrB1
As well as on all major streaming and download platforms.
We would truly appreciate if you would share this song and help build awareness for autism and inclusion.
