Recorded live at the 8th Nozart Festival Cologne by Ansgar Ballhorn, April 3rd, 2004

Every year, the legendary Cologne NOZART Festival in the cellar vault under the Christuskirche commented musically on the end of the second millennium (post christum) and the first decade of the third - with the self-image of consistent anti-opportunism, for which the underground location was to be understood as thoroughly symbolic.

Like its practice, its aim was to bring together different radical improvisers from the contemporary music world as well as a mix of continuity, local anchoring and the presentation of new styles and bands and thus to trace the diverse, fundamentally confusing and yet constant development of improvised music - whether acoustic or electric - to some extent.

The tendency to play in fortefortissimo - for some beyond the pain threshold: Nozart! - has always been countered by a conciliatory commitment to chamber music intimacy, manifested in the small form of sound-oriented, sensitively and richly detailed, freely improvised marvels.
One such gem was the first and so far unique meeting of the US-American vocalist and performer Anna Homler with the well-rehearsed duo of fraternal twins Joachim Zoepf and Wolfgang Schliemann.

Blessed with all the qualities of a 'first meeting', the three took advantage of the opportunity and the free space of the NOZART festival to build a bridge not only across the Atlantic, but also - and above all - between NO and ZART.

The audiophile recording of this event has now been freshly unearthed and is recommended as a first-class feast for the ears.

I Dont Want to

Named after the historic and spiritual Hill of Tara, nestled in Ireland’s Boyne Valley, Tara Hill channels ancient mysticism through modern dance energy. This is a trance-infused, techno-driven floor filler — blending ethereal melodies, hypnotic rhythms, and pulsing low-end power into a sonic journey that bridges past and future.

Drawing inspiration from early trance and techno pioneers, Tara Hill carries that raw, analog warmth while delivering a crisp, contemporary edge. Expect soaring pads, rolling basslines, and an atmosphere that feels both sacred and cinematic — a track designed to ignite late-night sets and elevate open-air dancefloors.
