Life Blooms In Concrete

Warum ist eine Gesellschaft kollektiv bereit, sich Maßnahmen zu unterziehen, die ihnen etwas versprechen, was nicht gesichert ist, um einen möglichen größeren Schaden, der auch nicht gesichert ist, zu verhindern? Es ist das immense Geschäft mit der Angst, sagen die einen, es ist ein Kult, sagen die anderen. Es scheint, der Mensch hat eine viel größere Affinität zu glauben, als zu wissen und Evidenz zu erkennen. Der Glaube aber benötigt Festigung mittels Ritualen, die als sichtbare Handlung eine unsichtbare Wirklichkeit der Viruserzählung vergegenwärtigt. Der Autor Gerald Ehegartner versucht diesem Phänomen in seinem bereits 2021 erschienen Text „Das heilige Sakrament der Corona-Impfung“ näher zu kommen, den wir hier gerne noch einem veröffentlichen wollen. 

Sabrina Khalil hat gelesen. 

Den Text finden Sie zum Nachlesen auch auf Ehegartners Blog: https://geraldehegartner.com/2021/08/30/sakrament-corona-impfung/

Das heilige Sakrament der Corona-Impfung

"Departure is how the act of moving from one place to another begins. This is a station of passage, an abandoned station you see through the window while you’re travelling to another town. It’s an isolated place, vanishing in the mist, where few voices are heard and a train is passing by. All is immersed in the ambience of a particular Autumn day; a soft rain starts pouring down while all our feelings are flowing freely."

My solo piano album “Recollections Vol. 1” is out on all platforms. Kind of a weird feeling. Something I really focused on in this album was simplicity. It’s never about how many notes you can play. Never. It’s not how fast you can play either. Ever. It’s about the intentionality and passion in which you play. For me at least. The greatest musicians in my opinion play and live with these thoughts in mind. I really believe two different pianists can sit down at the same piano and play the exact same note, but it sound extremely different from one player to the next. It’s in the touch, the feel, the speed, the present-ness, the willingness to slow down, it’s the heart in it. It’s wild to think that a mere Middle C on the piano can sound in a thousand different ways. So you’ll see in this album, I tried to be brave enough to not fill up each song with more notes and more chords. I wanted to give each song space and not clutter them with attempts to try and impress everyone. That’s a huge temptation that I don’t think we talk about enough. In a few of the songs I actually only stay on one chord. I love to explore how much I can get out of only a few notes. I’m not trying to be the greatest piano player in this album or trying to be the best musician. I wanted to document what I’ve learned over the years of being a musician and a person. It’s not the best, but it represents me: where I’ve been and where I’m going.

Funnily enough but Potsdam & Piano share the same initial letter, the Potsdam edition of Piano Day is carefully curated by East Berlin-born, Potsdam-based poly-instrumental composers Brueder Selke, brothers Sebastian & Daniel Selke, also known as award-winning cello-piano duo CEEYS, founders of Q3Ambientfest. 

For us, two brothers coming from beyond the Iron Curtain, the Wall, with a strikingly serene sense of modesty & humility, rooted in the daily improvisation to manage and resolve shortcomings during Communist-era GDR times and the later reunion of Germany, the most intrinsic part of being a musician is the encounter with friends and fellows...

Piano Day, founded by a group of like-minded people around composer prophet & recording genius, pianist Nils Frahm, unites piano lovers all around the globe, young & old, amateur & professional and holds a smooth transition to our brothers’ longterm collaboration and there is a unique feel of duality within the manner in which the two of us combine our main instruments cello and piano.

We hope you will find some inspiration by listening and watching our handpicked international lineup and support this boutique happening of contemporary music. 
Due to the pandemic situation we had to convert the physical to a digital stage, too.
But let’s connect with as much room as possible and celebrate the most joyful of all holidays, especially in these rather hybrid times, and keep an eye out for future formats. If it looks familiar to you, we would love to share our ideas with you and stay in touch via our newsletter. 

Alles Liebe 
Sebastian & Daniel 


JUNCTIONS is based on our upcoming Brueder Selke - Go East II - Pianos library on Canadian content provider LandR (meaning Left and Right - the stereo channels) and inspired by our upcoming duo-piano album "Marienborn". It features two sequenced pianos and prepared rhythmic sounds from the piano's physics." - BS

Written, performed and recorded by Brueder Selke at Klingenthal Studio Potsdam.

Brueder Selke – Junctions

In 1999, Martin Herzberg started to work on his first LP Silent Mirror Inside. In the beginning, he didnt expect the project to take him four years to finish it, but it did. In the Quest for the most homogeneous compilation of tracks, countless changes were made during the process of song-selection. But at last, 14 songs were chosen to create an album which is powerful, deep and melancholic at the same time. Chill-Out meets New Age, Trip-Hop touches Filmmusic. Now, he is often asked what term describes his music the best and the answer is: Chill-Score. Grown up in a musical surrounding of the new age-solo pianists George Winston and Ludovico Einaudi, Martin was also influenced by Chill-Out musicians like Moby or Air. Simultaneously, the work of Composers for Filmmusic, such as Thomas Newman or Hans Zimmer became a crucial part of his passion for music. As follows, it became obvious that his own work would try to combine at least two genres in the most perceptive way. The result was Silent Mirror Inside. An album which includes the most personal and emotional songs Martin has written till that day. Luckily, the album became an independent-music success in his hometown Berlin and a few hundred copies were sold without the help of expensive advertisement. Now the first voices from overseas are rising and the reviews are very positive. Theres a lot to discover!...thats why the album is now available at CD Baby...to continue its way across the Atlantic.
