Theo Parrish: Lecture @ Red Bull Music Academy
Unsere Platte des Tages „Mr. Fingers – Can you feel it“ ist übrigens die erste Platte, die sich Theo Parrish damals in Chicago gekauft hat. Als er dieses Stück im Radio gehört hat musste er zu Import Records rennen und dort Derrick Carter fragen, ob er diese Platte kennt, die immer so bumdup bubumbum bubumbum macht. Ich hab mir am Wochenende das Video mit Theo Parrish bei der Red Bull Music Academy in Seattle 2005 angesehen und ich muss sagen, das war grandioses Entertainment. Theo als One-Man-Show erklärt äußerst unterhaltsam, wie das bei ihm los ging, ausführliche Hintergründe, er gibt so manchen guten Hinweis macht vor allem Mut – Mut, weiter sein Ding zu machen und auch Mut zum Fehler machen. Außerdem erklärt er das noch mal, was man schon in vielen Artikeln über ihn lesen konnte. Kam es im Mag manchmal ein bisschen komisch rüber, so sind seine eigenen Worte um Längen sympathischer. Ich hab nicht nur viel über Theo Parrish gelernt, ich hab auch ein kleines, aber vielleicht essentielles Bisschen mehr verstanden. Großer Tipp für alle!
As anyone who has experienced a Theo Parrish the work of this consummate architect of sound envelopes the listener, and transmits new perspectives on club sonix. Theo’s musical expression fuses the rhythmic, disco-based pulse of Chicago house with the modernist motorik soul of Detroit techno; at the same time pointing to a lineage in black music that runs directly from Sun Ra to Sound Signature. „Jazz spawned house music, jazz spawned hip hop, jazz spawned funk and they all reflect back into that,“ says Theo. So if you want to see the future via the raw, soulful and black roots of house music, then you’ve come to the right teleporter.

Carl Craig, Les Siècles Orchestra & Francesco Tristano live!
Im Jahr 2008 hat sich auch Carl Craig mit der Verbindung von klassischer und elektronischer Musik beschäftigt. So ist neben Recomposed mit Moritz von Oswald auch ein Konzert mit dem Les Siècles Orchestra und dem Pianisten Francesco Tristano entstanden, das wirklich gelungen ist. Um das Konzert in voller Länge zu sehen, so drücke unten auf „full screen“ oder klicke gleich hier. Wer nicht sicher ist, dass dieses Konzert wirklich cool ist, dem empfehle ich zum Einstieg Track 7 „Technology“.
An improbable alliance that was quite simply mind-blowing! This unique meeting between a classical ensemble and techno music was powerful, solemn and danceable all at once! For the concoction to work, it needed a guide: Carl Craig. Originator of the project, the emblematic Detroit producer/DJ worked with pianist Francesco Tristano to arrange his compositions for an orchestra. Distinguished guest, Moritz Von Oswald made a valuable contribution to the project, offering fans a rhythmic arrangement and a new piece co-written with Carl Craig. The result is impressive: a unique sound aesthetic that breaks down barriers between seemingly incompatible music styles – as described by François Xavier Roth, musical director and conductor of the “Siècles” orchestra: “There is no hierarchy in music, only a quest for high standards”. Historic concert!

Jeff Mills: Blue Potential live with Montpellier Philharmonic Orchestra
Gibt’s jetzt auf Youtube:
Recorded live on July 2nd 2005 at Pont Du Gard (France) (20th anniversary of its inclusion of UNESCO’s world heritage list). Jeff Mills performed a single live outdoor concert with the Montpellier Philharmonic Orchestra, at the foot of the Pont du Gard bridge in southern France, a World Heritage classified site. Symphonic versions of Jeff Mills’ greatest works were performed for the first time with the 80-piece, classical orchestra, conducted by Alain Altinoglu. Included in the concert are the full, melodic pieces “Imagine” and “The March”; the deep, classic techno piece “Gamma Player”; selections from Jeff Mills’ film compositions “Entrance To Metropolis” and “Keaton’s Theme”; the avant-garde and sublime 14-minute piece “Medium C”; and lastly the unforgettable dance floor masterpieces “The Bells” and “Sonic Destroyer”.
Jeff Mills said:
„There have always been so many questions put forth about just who we humans are and how we got here. Seemingly shipwrecked on gigantic floating rocks we call continents, humans have pondered these questions since the realisation of our own existence. The more we explore these questions, the more we must ask ourselves the single most important question: the question of ‚why?‘. Why are we here? Are we here by design or by consequence? In our busy lives, we have the few chances to occasionally look up into the blue sky. When we do, the sense of our world of blue ends when the blue fades to black (or is it really black?). There are a few of us who believe the opposite, that the human life begins just past the border of our imaginations. Whichever way you hold the truth, one thing is a commonality, we believe the answer lies beyond ourselves. So the questions persist.“
„The Blue Potential serves as just two of the many mysteries within our existence: the deep blue sky and the deep blue sea. Both vast universes of unknown answers to questions we’ve yet to realise.”
Jeff Mills: Exhibitionist Video & Wire Interview
Im aktuellen Wire Mag gibt es wieder mal ein schönes Interview mit Jeff Mills. Neben der typischen und wie immer lesenswerten Mills-Philosophie geht es auch um Produktionstechnik, den visuellen Aspekt des DJs, X-102 Rediscovers The Rings Of Saturn. und dieses Exhibitionist Video:
29.01. Robert Henke & Christoph Bauder – ATOM @ Berghain
A room is filled with deep, evolving noises from a four-channel sound system. An eight-by-eight array of white, self-illuminated spheres floats in space like the atoms of a complex molecule.
Through variable positioning and illumination of each atom, a dynamic display sculpture comes into being, composed of physical objects, patterns of light, and synchronous rhythmic and textural sonic events. Change, sound, and movement converge into a larger form.
The height of each helium balloon is adjusted with a computer-controlled cable winch, whilst the internal illumination is accomplished using dimmable super-bright LEDs, creating a pixel in a warped 8×8 spatial matrix.
The sonic events, the patterns of light, and the movement of the balloons are manipulated in real time as a 45-60 minute-long performance.
Die Platte „Robert Henke: Atom/Document“ gibt’s bereits auf Monolake/Imbalance.
