On Monday I got company by WDR (West German Broadcast). Kurt Gerland produces a small three and a half minute TV broadcast about music by me for the (German) Lokalzeit. They shot at the Hühnerstall (chicken shack; this is my little studio), outside and in my flat. There are some interview bites and five songs:
- Die kleine Hexe Exposition from Die kleine Hexe
- Piano Sonata 2 by Chronique de notre vie (comp.: Philipp Haagen)
- This Guy's in Love With You from my old trio repertoire (comp.: Burt Bacharach)
- Traum from sic
- Mimi from Minna von Barnhelm
The song titles are linked to the audio section of my homepage. There you can listen to the tracks as .mp3 audio files. This is the team; you can see Kurt Gerland top left...
Trau is built from no more than four samples. We shot the production of the samples: a blown half-full beer bottle, the starting sound of a vacuum cleaner, a pattering shower and the squeak of the foot in a half-full bath tub. In interaction with the filmed computer monitor where you can see the arrangement in the audio software it is revealed how sample based electronic music can be made!
And here is the result:
