Percussion Quintet
AUFBRUCH is the first piece on the CD DIFFERENT MOODS, a piece for 5 drummers and 1 drum set. Instruments for the 5 drummers are: 20 different Tom-Toms, 1 base-drum, Tam-Tam and tubular bells, so it's all about rhythm music. The beginning symbolises the sunrise and the start of the day. The quick part is the awakening and first activities of the people, they stream through the streets and populate the city.

No matter where I roam it's always good to get back home to Chicago. Lower Wacker is made famous in the Blues Brothers chase scene underground.
