The concert is part of the second season of the 2010 festival, he free-improvised music. The current

as electronic legend Eric Ross realized for several decades the world together with his wife, multi-media concerts by piano, guitar, synthesizer, theremin and video art. It was for both of Beginning, of course, that progress in art and even in music can not pass through the avoidance of modern technology, but only through the appropriate use and integration of new technology. Ross was in his early years a personal friend of the inventor, Robert Moog, whose innovations in the field of electronic instruments (Moog synthesizer), he received first-hand and incorporates into its sound world. The use of the very first "electronic" instrument at all, evidence of the theremin, Eric's attitude, for which he is widely recognized and even honored. He was Master Teacher at the First International Theremin Festival, and he also wrote music for theremin - Both for the solo instrument and an overture for as much as 14 Theremin!

The music is presented in Dresden, is improvised, but it contains elements not only quite jazz, but classical music, serial music and the contemporary avant-garde.

The video art by Mary Ross, which is projected for music is selected for the musical sequences and structures, arranged and organized. Mary Ross is a pioneer of digital photography. In the early seventies, they used video equipment and computers, take pictures - create - that digital photography. Many of these unique works are in collections, Libraries and galleries worldwide, from Paris, Zurich, Cambridge, Copenhagen and New York.

With his concept of "Wetware Trombone" Günter Heinz developed almost twenty years ago a special way of playing the instrument trombone, with which he explores new sonic spaces. The reach of the artists using new techniques, such as the sucking sound, through the use of electronic transformations, but also through the game in specific areas, such as in churches, underground cavities, and even under water. Inspired by his concerts in the Tuscan spa in Bad Bad Schandau Sulza and was his idea to combine the sounds found there with those of the Theremin.

With Eric Ross was a virtuoso of this instrument Heinz Günter. The fact that both have experience not only in the free improvisation music, but also in the new Jazz, the concert could be another cohesion. For Eric Ross was also successful in jazz, he played with such greats as John Abercrombie, Larry Coryell, Andrew Cyrille, Oliver Lake, Leroy Jenkins, Byard Lancaster and the blues legends Champion Jack Dupree, Lonnie Brooks, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee and BB King. Performances at the Jazz Festival in Montreux and the North Sea Jazz festival were milestones in his career. That Ross Guest musicians on AQi Fzono's "Cosmology" CD was supposed to be the best-selling board in Japan at all, should not go unmentioned.

Impressions of Rohvolution

Although it is been a while ... but I would not deny you ... the pictures of the Rohvolution.

Here Urs Hochstrasser, who always has wise advice on the spot. Can learn a lot from him - whether about raw food, spirituality or animals.

Here a stand with tasty crackers, chocolate, and try more (could be anywhere much :)...).

Well and this cake was impossible to ignore ... guuuut soooo easy.

So, it is worth trying to go. Was very interesting, well attended and informative.

the jazz musicians have pinched?

Jazz Club New tonne published a brochure on the turn of jazz in Dresden

It is definitely the better way: remembering and thinking instead of polemics and denounce. Even the title and subtitle set out a framework for a brochure that is now presented by the Jazz Club New ton and with the "Jazz in Dresden around the turn of political" deals. "Highlights - Memories and Reflections" are named the gerademal 55 pages. No explosive investigative work it has become, but the clear bundles of clear events, culminating in 1989.

Viviane Czok-Gökkurt, which has about one established here based visual thesis, and Dresdner journalist and jazz expert Mathias Bäumel strip as authors in the truest sense of the word, which has identified the classic jazz in the event Done popular music of the late-DDR how he presented himself on the explosive for several weeks and where he led. The project was primarily funded by the Hannah Arendt Institute, all too new insights into the "totalism" should be in place were there. And so "Highlights" even for oblique light.

Helmut Gebauer, chairman of the New-ton-eV, succeeds in excellent, almost essay-like manner, under put up in his preface the suggestion of the project with profound thoughts, above all, does he, "the Jazz Prone to apolitical aestheticism? We should think about. "Because on the following pages, it is clear that the most active jazz musicians from all political activities requiring courage of the" hot have days kept out. " The legendary September resolution of popular culture of the GDR saw virtually no jazz musicians sign, not even from Dresden musicians. Said in fairness it must be mentioned that in the flats of Anxious well on its own, the spirit of the Berlin colleagues supportive comments were worked on, so special in the vicinity of the rock band two-way. The jazz musicians have chickened out? They should be asking.

"Highlights" is divided into the list of political, mostly related to Dresden fixed points and stocky with these references, if possible, to jazz, but certainly also to the private sphere. The edition suggests a Bridge of '89 events in the bin, to 2009, when the project is "turning Jazz" with two concerts and a thematic exhibition was initiated. The book shifts related discussions and talks back to the particular personal level. It is probably the best way in a country that is moving things in neat little culture of debate by the office. have now, 20 years later, where most of those who really wanted it, their "record (s)" seen real name discovered and independently made their decision what they want with it. In this respect, that place is a bit unfortunate as to call in an attempt to structure the Stasi infiltration in the business, but still two IM as a kind of Horses and riders appear equally, while others get away with that "XY" more appropriate. That would have been unnecessary. appreciate

Without the substance of small: A wonderful appreciation gets "Highlights" by the optics. With one exception, are available from the 1989er ton of events no more pictures. One who has photographed at that time a lot, which was also a jazz audience in the good sense, had his work destroyed before him a serious illness in 1999 to its knees: Jürgen Haufe, graphic artists, painters . Undated, unsigned and previously unpublished sketches were designer Kerstin Pretty zusammengepuzzelt in the good sense, so that they share far more than illustrates, but the whole concept. For what other than lights lining the great artists and people crowd with paper and pencil has created?

"Highlights" is the price of five euros in Sweetwater Recordstore Loschwitz and about events at the Jazz Club New ton.

How Much Daylight Are We Gaining?

by the customer service of the Telekom or: How is any appetite for that company loses

(no connection photo: Joujou / pixelio )

Dresden , Monday, 6. September 2010. The day of a freelance graphic artist and book designer began - - - or no, he started but not yet correct. Internet was not receiving any e-mail, and the phone was dead .. Well, maybe a small disturbance, I do something else, meanwhile, thought the graphic artist. Then ten
against clock: still all dead! So
but the telecom call and complain the problem. So I then asked the artist, because his phone was dead and mine works.

After I durchgehangelt by automated questions, there is the automatic response that I mentioned on the DSL connection temporarily restricted'm available and that they were working on it. Okay, I think grumpy, and hang up.

Shortly before eleven clock is still nothing, I call again, hangel me again by the automatic tuning loops hear that a problem is known and is working on it and answer "yes" when the machine asks me if I still a customer service representative wanted. Who goes after a long wait in unbearable and computer music to the phone. Yes, there is a problem in the lines or intersections, one has already more than one fault in Dresden, but we would have no appointment with the designer on site, make the line being worked in the areas located disturbance. How long it would take, I ask. must occur within 24 hours Such disturbances may be corrected, "he replies. Very well.

evening I try again and again, call the graphic designer to - not dead,

On the following day, today, 7 September, I am most curious about the same morning - nothing, everything still goes by the dead time. Meanwhile, the 24 hours have long been around.

try to ten out of ten clock clock siebenundvierzig I once again from my phone to get help. In vain. As before the re-vote machines. The disorder is known, it would notify me when they would be fixed. Again, I say "yes" to the computer-generated question whether I still want a relationship manager, and three times torment I almost unbearable by ringing Klangel synthesizer pop music - every time, until I stopped using the computer message that all inquiry stations were occupied and I should call again later.

so patient I am, there is increasing anger in me. In the period clock elf vierzig to eleven clock fünfzig the same game until the bitter end - the announcement of the fully occupied and the query places caps on the connection ...
My heart is pounding, and I have to think of Lenin, as saying that terrorism is a product of despair. - But I keep quiet.

Twelve Clock twenty, I try again, and lo and behold, twelve clock achtunddreißig have I am a living person on the phone "answer station. The notes that the lines were all in order. But that the error could have potentially led to an adjustment of the settings of the telecom system in the Office of the graphic artist. This had to notify the customer and provide it with instructions so want to see how he could reset the system back, but there was occupied for ages ... - What? Busy? What number did you call for all the time, I ask. - - - Short silence it - quietly at first, then slowly increasing to normal volume - he just called the number that disturbed for more than a day, so dead.

To date (about 16.15 clock) is still not resolved the problem.
