Look around
What you see
It is quite another view
What you are
What you'll be
It's the mystery of you

You don't know
Try to find
But you'll never know the truth
There's a lock
On your heart
If you tear this lock apart

You will see
The daybreak rainbows
Waiting for
Showers of your rain
You are not insane
You are not insane
You are not insane

No

Pedestals of greatest minds caught in acid blast
Temples crumble, masses rumble to the Neverlast
Storm is coming, hide you child in your endless dream
Reality is a monster, it ain't what it seems

Crash you down and paint you gray, that's what she would do
But reality is over now, the dream belongs to you
A better life inside your mind, learn to make it real
Heal the masses, let them see, let them live and feel

Someday
I'll find a light there
Inside my soul so blue
I'll find a path that's true
I'll tramp it all the way

Slowly
I'll step inside this
Door to ancient light
Forget the concrete night
And follow to the day

Maybe
You will follow
And you will go my way
All pain will go astray
And we will be as one

DIE ROTE ERDE came to life in the summer of 2004. I don't remember the exact date now, as it's all shrouded in tons of marijuana smoke, projects, and bad memory if something is not written on the computer or on a simple piece of paper.

Anyway, the summer of 2004 was when I figured out I want to move beyond rock music and pop music, and structured music, and move towards the improvised realm of sound and noise.

I discovered Maurizio Bianchi and Merzbow that summer. It was a big surprise and revelation for a fan of Hawkwind, Black Sabbath, Amon Düül II, Nirvana, etc... to discover what you could do with extreme and industrial music. Of course, the space and improvised nature of my rock music roots remained intact.

In 2004 I was already out of my project with Mateusz Nowicki, so I was free to experiment alone in a small room (my first "home studio") with my guitar and a computer. I recorded one CD-R, and that was it for Die Rote Erde for almost 10 years.

I nearly forgot about my CD-R from 2004, but the name Die Rote Erde reoccured again in 2013, and this time I wanted to make more guitar-centered experimental music. So, I recorded the second Die Rote Erde album 2013/2014, and released it in 2014 on bandcamp.

Around 2014/2015 I discovered more interesting artists, like Angus MacLise, Yuri Morozov, and Éliane Radigue. They proved to be the creative fluxus fueling Die Rote Erde for quite some time.

But it wasn't until 2018, the magic year for Die Rote Erde, that I really knew what I wanted to do sonically for the project, and also with the vision and artwork and artistic direction.

Moving back to my rock roots, but in the context of Kosmische Musik: Kluster, Zweistein, the Chamsin soundtrack, early Tangerine Dream, studio-as-instrument by Can, etc, I decided to make Die Rote Erde a combination of space pulsations and extreme noise. Much alike imagining how would Hawkwind's Space Ritual sound only with the electronic devices left in the mix.

Die Rote Erde will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year. I never thought this name, this path, and this project, could last for 20 years. But, obviously it did. This might mean a proper re-release of the earliest materials, new material, and further archive materials appearing on the project's bandcamp.

Die Rote Erde was always on the experimental side of things, and it's not easy for pioneers. So, being a small local pioneer in Poznań, Poland, I never imagined I would last 20 years making music and noise nobody really wants to hear. Or maybe YOU want to hear it? If so, check out the bandcamp and float on.

"Płonąca Stodoła" (by Niemen)

WHO is lord of lordly fate,--
Lady of her lot's estate?
He who rules himself is he,
She who tempts not fate is she.

Who in peril stands of pain?
Who is sure to suffer stain?
He who climbs a thorny tree,
Gathers juicy berries she.

"What are you gonna play here? Psychedelic rock? Pink elephant music?"

Adam Majdecki-Janicki is a multitalented Polish artist with a penchant for creating mind-bending musical landscapes. His music is a captivating fusion of psychedelic rock, experimental sounds, and poetic lyricism, taking listeners on a journey through a kaleidoscope of emotions.

"Adam Majdecki-Janicki's discography is nothing short of impressive - recording under a number of aliases (A.J. Kaufmann, Die Rote Erde), during past 10 years he released almost 30 albums, ranging from ambient and New Age through folk to noisey krautrock. 'Bavarian Gypsy' is a collection of songs recorded over the years, mixing electronics with voice and acoustic instruments. The overall DIY quality, the live feel, the reverb and the way his voice is treated bring to mind Animal Collective or Ariel Pink, with nods towards folk outskirts of New Weird America. British and US psychedelia is also present, as both early Pink Floyd and Jefferson Airplane also seem to be an inspiration. From catchy ('Hero on the Wing') to mildly confusing ('English Nude'), 'Bavarian Gypsy' during its 28 minutes offers quite a lot of twists and turns, surprises and small wonders delivered with passion by a truly singular artist."
