This Is It All About

Dancing Darkness

When I heard "Sandman" from David Ackerman,(http://soundcloud.com/deephod) I was already doing some warm-ups with the trumpet. I found it that inspiring, contemplative and recorded an short improvisation. Just one take. 
And thought David should become aware what his track had caused. ;-).
David spent some additional minutes to fine-tune it, to make the trumpet "nice,creamy". 

So maybe you as well want to listen and enjoy.
 

Sandman (David Ackerman feat. Andreas Hoffmann)

Was fällt mir ein, wenn es darum geht:
- neue Ideen rund um Sound und Performance
- Stimmen und Fähigkeiten in ein intimeres Spielen in relationaler Verbundenheit zu bringen
- erforschen, wie Gesten und Bewegung, Schwingungen, Bilder, Licht und Schatten sowie musikalisches Material übersetzt, transformiert und gemischt werden können

Unter dem Motto “radical transducers” / “radikale Wandler” ?

a) hier zu hören
- Geräusche vom Metall des Flügelhorns, die zum Beat werden
- Synth-Flächen, die zum Gitarrenakkorden werden - oder umgekehrt ?
- Gitarrenpicking zum Piano-Arpeggio 
- Flügelhorn das zu durch eine Effektkette zum synthetischen Klang wird


Eigentlich nur 5 Spuren eingespielt und live im Flow “gewandelt”.

b)  Etwas zu wandeln braucht eins:
Input. Denn “Output” gibt es nur durch “Input”

Und da bin ich gespannt.

Something's going on

This is my picture I had in mind:

Leaving the National Gallery I hear an angel.
A bronze cast of a spider is blocking my way to Notre Dame Cathedral. 
But even the busy people al around can not stop me.
The big door is squeaking as a last gasp 
to keep me from joining the angels voices.

My heart beats like a drum. Is it just mine ?
A few moments. Then I digress. 

Beats and noises are back again.
Back again.


A big thank you to Milana for her invitation to this piece of music.

Shading The Moon

a-live music project is my musical platform, not commercial, not mainstream and not fully styled but new, experimental and above all: playing live is key.
"project" means it is not only my music but as well together with and inspired by guest musicians.

Initially my idea was to collect here on SC just a "best of". 
After more than one year I change the approach due to the great community out here:
skilled musicians, attentive audience, friendly and constructive critics, engaged people.

You find here now my latest creations, collaborations, music that comes crisp from the mastering.
For you to listen first.

If you want to get known the whole story: See my project on Facebook (Don't worry it's not more nasty than a website :-) ) 
If you want to listen my whole creations:  Listen to my podcast, my podspot website.

Or just stay tuned and enjoy.
