konzertsaal / weiss areal, neu-ulm.germany
during the late 60s to 80s, konzertsaal (concert hall) used to be the very performing space/club in the ulm/neu-region for rock bands of fame and lesser known. it was the the place where we used to hang out or play gigs there. during the last 15 years or so, the konzertsaal successfully hosted one of the few independant theater groups of ulm/neu-ulm. but that's it, the building will be pulled down later this year, making space for slick and expensive new appartment buildings. nostalgic retro-spection...
'circles' from the newly released album 'guzheng & nuzheng miniatures'. from time to time i will add new miniatures to the album. if you like the miniatures, download them from bandcamp. pay what you want, it's up to you, you decide...
enjoy.
'guzheng & nuzheng miniatures' is an ongoing music recording project, where i upload experimental guzheng music, using the chinese traditional acoustic string instrument guzheng, an 8 track hardware live looper and various effect pedals.
i re-arrange and re-design the recorded live loop tracks, exploring the sound files and creating re-defined songs/pieces/variations/compositions. it's an alchemical process of re-fining sound-matter.guzheng solo video

as i clicked through youtube the other day, i found this 'chenrezig' clip, which uses a song with the same name, from our 1998 new age pop project u:man:tek. the song is based on a chenrezig mantra recitation.
chenrezig is renowned as the embodiment of compassion in the tibetan buddhist tradition. whenever we are compassionate, or feel love for anyone, or for anything, we experience a taste of our own true nature.
i am not following buddhism myself. but in a world of growing polarities today, found in social contexts, in political points of view, in relations between human beings from different cultural backgrounds, in the fields of art, philosophy, religions, etc., i feel that compassion is a quantum leap forward towards understanding, acceptance, respect, tolerance, sharing, exchange, communication, etc.
compassion is one of the intentions worth being adopted for the new year 2012.

having been involved in music since 1965, originally with local rock bands, i started off a serious musical career some years later as lead guitar player with the 70s german prog rock band prof. wolfff, one of the first prog rock bands in germany to use german lyrics.
prof. wolfff
studies at the jazz school munich (1975-77, joe haider, adelhard roidinger) and training in north indian vocal music (dhrupad style) with r. fahimuddin khan dagar, vidur mallick, uday bhawalkar) and percussion (with raja chhatrapati singh, ramji upadhyaya) from 1982 to 1988 in india, provided a solid base for creative experiences in rock, fusion, world, experimental, electronic, and also with dance and theater projects.
dhrupad
i had the opportunity to explore and practice sound healing, teach workshops and training courses mainly in europe, but also for a short period in ethiopia.
at present i compose music for contemporary and multimedia music/dance projects and art installations, perform my own music live on electric gushing, percussion (postworld improvised music / live looping / fx) and with multimedia music/dance projects. i also facilitate circledrumevents (community drumming) at festivals and for music therapy training.

the encounter with theater/movement opened my eyes to music and its healing virtues, and i got interested in and studied the mongolian overtone technique, north indian vocal and percussion (dhrupad style), yoga, body/breath awareness, healing aspects of sound/color and indian music therapy. based on this experience, i propose innerSounds relaxation/healing concerts with tibetan bowls, gongs and tubular bells.

quelle zur mündung - poesie der donau
eine visuelle klang-installation
2. - 9. september im ulmer museum
flüsse bedürfen der poesie...
vergangene zivilisationen und poeten aller kulturen standen flüssen und gewässern auch immer eine symbolische, ja eine mythische bedeutung zu.
das leitmotiv der installation bildet das gedicht "die donau" des wiener schriftstellers ferdinand schmatz. video-und klangkompositionen kontrastieren den poetischen text, provozieren unverhoffte hör- und blickpunkte, schaffen die imagination eines kreativen donau-europäischen cross-over.
vier projektionsflächen, als kreuzende achsen angeordnet, kommunizieren visuell und akustisch miteinander. der quelle im westen steht die mündung im osten gegenüber, der natur im süden der menschliche eingriff im norden. die installation überträgt klänge der donau in den ausstellungsraum, ein hydrophon (unterwasser-mikrofon) lädt die betrachter-zuhörer ein, in das klanggeschehen einzugreifen. so wird das wasser der donau nicht nur als lebensspendends element wahrnehmbar, sondern auch als träger energetischer information.

nuzheng
guzheng / fx / live looping
the guzheng, an ancient chinese string instrument, dates back over 4000 years dates back over 4000 years and has played an important role in chinese musical history as both a court and folk instrument. only recently it has been introduced into contemporary and experimental music.
fascinated by its pacifying sound, i love to play the guzheng in a rather meditative way. my studies of traditional music in india and a creative collaboration with indian musicians, took my playing the guzheng into an entirely different direction, applying the typical elements of raga music, like note bending, micro tonal intervals, playful ornaments, rhythmic patterns and the elaborated time cycles.
experiments with live looping and electronic manipulation has lead to the concept of the ‘nuzheng’.

cosmic reflections
eine getantze inspiration mit livemusik und visuals
cosmic reflections ist von der gleichnamigem kollagen-serie der malerin brigitte smith angeregt. 21 tableaux zeigen drei gruppen mit jeweils verschiedenen grundmotiven: der buddha, der mensch vor dem symbolisierten absoluten und der wegweiser. interessanterweise überlagern sich diese drei motive mit den drei bewusstseins-zuständen alter yogischer texte, die sich mit innerer erfahrung beschäftigen.
die cosmic reflections performance bindet diese strukturellen prinzipien der bewusstseinsebenen in ihr spiel mit ein und präsentiert ein kontemplatives fest der sinne, der seele und des geistes. tanz, musik und visuals interagieren mit den schöpferischen und wandelbaren kräften der 21 kollagen, begegnen verborgenen seelenschichten. mehr

easy rhythm with body and voice
trans tala introduces specific exercises, using hand clapping, reciting of rhythmic syllables, basic steppings and body expression in order to easily understand and absorb the refined structures of tala, India’s ancient science of rhythm. more
vibational healing
the resonance of the tibetan bowls reaches deep into our psyche, for spiritual stimulation, focus and purification. the singing bowls are excellent tools for sounding, healing work, meditation, and chanting, as well as a beautiful musical accompaniment. more
healing energies of indian vocal music
indian music is based on the yogic science of nada. nada sadhana stands apart as a spiritual practice. it uses the musical form of raga (melodic movement) and tala (rhythm) and privileges the human voice, unique in its capacity to express sensations, emotions, as well as tensions, well being and disease. the healing and harmonizing possibilities of the voice are immense. more
power of voice and breath
overtone singing is an ancient voice technique from central asia, and is the prima materia of music. based on the harmonic series of intervals, which the voice produces naturally, overtone singing allows one to sing two distinct tones / voices simultaneously. more
five keys to inner knowledge
with sheela raj and friedrich glorian
a week long experimental workshop using body, breath, sound and meditation. based on the ancient yogic / tantric practice known as tattwa shuddhi (purification of and through the elements), we have developed a more contemporary and free form system where we explore the 5 elements through body, breath, sound, rhythm, color & form and techniques to gain access to the mind. more

viaggi sonori / innerSounds è un'esperienza musicale unica, una pratica di rilassamento in cui il suono di un accordo di varie ciotole tibetane, gong e campane tubolari si fondono in un armonioso paesaggio sonoro e catturarano le energie del 'sentire' qui ed ora, il momento nello spazio / tempo.
al contrario di ciò che di solito si ascolta nella musica, non ci sono movimenti melodici familiari, non c'è una definizione ritmica, ma ci sono onde e strutture sonore inaspettate e sorprendenti che favoriscono uno stato di sogno in cui tutto il corpo, le ossa, i pori della pelle, gli organi interni e persino gli strati più sottili del nostro essere vi partecipano. viaggi sonori / innerSounds si muove simbolicamente e con energia attraverso i cinque elementi della - terra / acqua / fuoco / aria / spazio - e trasporta l'ascoltatore attraverso vari livelli di perfezione sonora e lo spazio ritmici.
un flusso lento e continuo, il movimento ripetitivo circolare e concentrico provocato dal suono delle ciotole, le transizioni melodiche minimali e l'assenza di riconoscibili modelli musicali favoriscono attenzione interiore e presenza. Nel silenzio di questi spazi sonori, osservando come i suoni possono emergere, affiorano regni nascosti che ci ricordano l'interazione tra corpo, mente e spirito, tra il mondo dentro e fuori di noi. Viaggi Sonori / Inner Sounds può contribuire a innescare intuizioni spirituali, attivare la guarigione del “corpo/mente/spirito, o semplicemente donare una concreta sensazione di benessere fisico...
we are more (2010-2013) is a Europe-wide arts advocacy campaign set up by Culture Action Europe. It will use the upcoming EU political and financial negotiations for the period 2014-2020 as a timely opportunity to develop and sharpen the arguments used when advocating for arts and culture. The ultimate goal of the campaign is to contribute to a strengthened recognition of the role of arts and culture in the development of our European societies. The concrete campaign objectives focus on improving the quality and quantity of support that the sector receives from 2 key EU policies (the Culture Programme – providing direct support to cultural co-operation projects, and EU regional development policies – supporting cultural interventions as key contributions to social, economic and territorial development). The aim is for the campaign to function both as an eye-opener for policy-makers at local, regional and national level, and as a mobilisation and professional development tool for the sector.
