"Strummers Clash " is my second collaboration with composer Matthew Shlomowitz and guitarist Tom Pauwels. Made after "Greetings from Astridplein", (also available on on this channel) this work takes on similar approach, where Tom & I made long distance recordings of Matthew's 2nd duet for 2 e-guitars, followed by me later remixing and flavoring the piece with all sort of "extras", turning it into a radio piece with a cinematic quality. As for the title it is a rare case where the descriptive - content & spirit - and the concept of a homage line up perfectly together, making it a special favorite of mine. This one is for you J.S.

Deutsch-Pauwels-Shlomowitz: Strummers Clash

HOMEWORK - Anne van de Star & David Helbich

Domenico Scarlatti - Keyboard Sonata K466

"Heroes" from the cycle "Für uns. Für uns" by Hannes Seidl, in an interpretation by Anne van de Star and David Helbich

Hannes wrote scores for people playing together at home. Perfect for Corona times. 

The songs are based on pop songs, this one on a song by David Bowie. 

The score only mentions piano and voice. The heavy pedal usage inspired us to make a very reverby version with an e-git and an Oud replacing the grand piano (I got a bed instead...). 
The added  electronics are (most unfortunately) hiding our amazing singing talents. 

The score of the whole cycle is available here: editionjulianeklein.de
