Remastered
originally was intended to be brought out as a tape with this selection
drum-computer, acoustic + electric guitars, electric basses, MS-10, solina, vocals, fx
All done with 4-Track-Recording in the days (1988).
Mastered after all laters.
This is a collection of compositions using partly techniques of “minimal music” which means having changes on repetitive and rhythmic motives. Sometimes very fast, sometimes not so.
Philip Glass and Mike Oldfield are for sure influences but after all though it’s my own style I hope.
Instrumental -> for multiple electric and acoustic guitars, synthesizers, shawns, electric basses, melodica, hand percussion,
Everything recorded by hand – without MIDI! (except for one programmed repetitive drum-computer part on one track).
Recorded with a 4-Track Recorder. Mixed sometimes with higher playback-speed.
Remastered laters…
Six tracks are from 1990. One from 1987, one from 1988.
Only for the hardcore minds probably – as there is nothing polished at all.
Which also was not possible the way the music was done these days… what was recorded was there and could not be separated any more.
No (drum) computers/sequencers/midi. Everything was hand played!
All tunes were recorded via tape to tape, from one cassette recorder to another cassette recorder. Often this procedure was repeated so that more instruments can be heard for the price of lower quality of course.
So it is as it was. And it was fun. Raw, playful, childish, romantic, weird, unbearable, embarassing and so on.
The only thing which was done laters was some kind of mastering and denoising in parts.
Some Favorites:
Mark Duruti Andante, Aloha Azora Garah, Ballet, Stück für Ringelsweide, Das Gnadenungeheuer
For the Brave:
Und wir klatschen in die Hände, Seli Christ, Wandalenpest, Lehrlinge der Ungeduld
