Watch 'Torn In Two' now: https://youtu.be/g0yxTpaHHUM

Deru’s last record, 1979, dealt with individual human emotions. His new project, Torn In Two, zooms out and deals with human existence as a whole. It finds feelings of frustration, dissociation and anger, but from a high vantage that affords perspective and allows the project to include acceptance, beauty and tranquility. 

Torn In Two includes a series of accompanying films that magnify the project’s themes, with effigies that absorb and reflect the human condition. They burn, they bleed, they hold their young, they get swallowed by the waves. Humans are absent. The world independent of us, without us. Humanity at a crossroads.

Torn In Two

After a very long summer break I am back again with a new track. Starting point was a found vocal sample. I also used different things of my older tracks and I experimented with unusual sound elements for the rhythm. In addition, the  good old Alchemy-Synth comes into play as well… The whole thing is more a recycling project ;-) Only a „quick&dirty“- mixing/mastering. I hope you enjoy. Thanks a lot for listening! See you …

Recycled Visions

I created this arrangement on the occasion of „100 Years of Bauhaus“.  O.K., it has become a bit strange and quirky ;-) I had the desire to play with absurdity …
Bauhaus was a german art school created by Walter Gropius on 1. April 1919 in Weimar.  I look forward to the many events, exhibitions and festivals!  
I'm especially interested in the beginning time. The Bauhaus was at that time an interdisciplinary, experimental art laboratory with social-reformist utopias. Life in the „Bauhaus Weimar“ had the charm of Bohème. It was about something experimental, about something that was never finished, about community and contact, about an exploration of body and space. It was a kind of community with new forms of life and love. The freethinkers celebrated legendary festivals. In this context, there are also some connections to the Dadaist movement. In May 2019 the 8th DADAMENTA is celebrated in Weimar under the motto "Dada meets Bauhaus“. 

I also find the female artists of the Bauhaus particularly interesting. For example Marianne Brandt with her photomontages. Very inspiring! In this regard, I have updated my profile picture (test phase). I had a lot of fun :))

Mixture of ingredients:

1. 
I perform an extract of Kurt Schnitters dadaistic „Urlautsonate“:

2. Dada Choir (Mix of Live Recordings)
 
3. A midi drum part rhythm with dadaistic phrases performed by Vocalist Kathi (Dresden Detunized)

4. „Electro Swing“ with classic sounding samples from the 20’s (among other things, I used a free taster pack).

bauhaus ^ 100

Some unreleased tracks slumbering on my hard disk. Spring comes and it is time to dust off some of it …  Perhaps one of you like it :) This piece is composed of very simple chord progressions. The rhythm pattern was inspired by Peter Sarosdi. Thanks a lot for listening!

Awaiting a time I lose my interest in ostinato. User friendliness is not the primary quality criterion.
