House only. Finally playing again after the shutdown. It was fun, even without the dance floor. Hopefully the clubs can open again soon! Thanks to the wonderful audience, thanks to the sorgenfrei team. Enjoy listening.
This is a weird story about two completely different characters: tante techno and uncle house. Both love music, but totally different genres. Lets start with uncle house. He lives in an emotional world. He reacts emotionally to events and can shift quickly from mood to mood. He has rich imaginations, tells entertaining stories, and he is drawn to romance and melodrama. He is always in the center of attention and likes all kinds of house music. He is easily putting his trust in others and he is seeking always for new opportunities and new relationships.
One day he got an irresistible offer: play a gig with tante techno. She was known for hard, electronic #music and for her impatience. Anyone who played a style of music she didn’t like was simply eaten. Any sensible guy would have said no (!) immediately, but our cute little guy again only saw the great party. It won’t be so bad, at the core tante techno is a nice thing too. His friends tried to persuade him, but it was no use, he wanted to play. And so the disaster took its course.
For me personally there are two directions within electronic music that I love to play: House and techno. But what has been bothering me more and more was this either-or.
So I started to experiment with some gigs and combined my two favoured genres, for the first time officially announced on 28.11.2019 at Café Holler. I called the event “Uncle House meets Tante Techno”. This was musically quite well received and so I tried the whole thing again at the Cafè Sorgenfrei a few weeks ago and it worked again.
At the same time the format got another name “Tante Techno eats Uncle House”. Sounds more dramatic and besides that I was able to combine it perfectly with my own drawing and a little animated story. The aunt techno eats up the poor uncle, just like the hard sound eats up the more pleasing house sounds in a way. Have fun with the first part of this set from the Cafè Sorgenfrei.
Heute Früh hatte ich ein ganz besonderes, ausgesprochen tolles Erlebnis. Mein erster Release erschien in den verschiedenen Onlinestores und Streamingplattformen. Für mich ist dies aber erst der Startpunkt, denn ich möchte eine Geschichte erzählen, in die das Album eingebettet ist. Sie handelt von einer Maschine, die ein Königreich übernimmt und die Einwohner mit subtilen Methoden versklavt. Insgesamt besteht die Geschichte aus 6 verschiedenen Kapiteln:
Prolog: die Ankunft der Maschine, erzählt durch die Hauptperson der Geschichte
Valley of Demons: die Maschine festigt die Grundlage ihrer Herrschaft und zwingt die Bevölkerung zu Höchstleistungen.
The Leader’s Task: Unsere Hauptperson bekommt eine Aufgabe, die sie unmöglich erfüllen bzw. überleben kann. Unsere Hauptperson soll auf den Gasherbrum hinaufsteigen.
The Beautiful Mountain: auf dem Weg zum Gasherbrum besinnt sich unsere Hauptperson und erkennt die Fehler der Maschine.
The Holy Egg: die Lösung des Problems ist nahe.
The Leader’s Fall: das Problem wird gelöst.
In den nächsten Wochen werde ich mich sukzessive mit dieser Geschichte beschäftigen. Wobei ich mir Zeit lasse, denn es soll ja eine gute Geschichte werden.
About my first Release
This morning I had a very special, extremely great moment. My first release appeared in the various online stores and streaming platforms. But for me this is just the starting point, because I want to tell a story in which the album is embedded. It’s about a machine that takes over a kingdom and enslaves its inhabitants with subtle methods. The story consists of 6 different chapters:
Prologue: the arrival of the machine, told by the main character of the story
Valley of Demons: the machine strengthens the basis of their reign and forces the population to peak performance.
The Leader’s Task: Our main character is given a task that she cannot perform and/or survive. Our main character has to climb the Gasherbrum.
The Beautiful Mountain: on the way to the Gasherbrum our main character reflects and recognizes the faults of the machine.
The Holy Egg: the solution of the problem is near.
The Leader’s Fall: the problem is solved.
In the next weeks I will deal successively with this story. Whereby I take my time, because it should be a good story.
If nothing goes wrong, my first release will be out on 13.5.2019: Gasherbrum. To the day exactly 6 years after I started my DJ career again. With growing enthusiasm I have worked my way into music theory, harmony, mixing know-how, arrangements, etc..
But that’s not all, I still don’t have to have a blog for my music. I want more. I want to embed my music in stories and visualize them. That’s why I need this blog. The ideas have been haunting my head for a long time, but now the time has come to tell the stories. What kind of stories? Let yourself be surprised. Stay tuned.
