Location

Dresden, Germany

About me:

(or what i am looking for in music) to work with iron, sometimes in a forge, otherwise as a musician and composer the difference between click, tock and bing (i am attracted by slowness, or call it laziness, that causes a microscopical view (not only) on sounds and noises) the visible/tactile aspect of distinct sounds or the audible aspect of shape and material (means also that strange theater of abstract numbers called music and how it touches our imagination, senses or moods, how it creates visible forms) the mathematical view on music or the musical view on numbers (helps me to find the "scapes", sounds, rhythms and harmonies wich i desire to listen) each place and each point in time has anything distinctive, each landscape or situation is represented by remarkable sounds, often they reveal a surprising musical quality (how to approach such moments?) our audible environment contains information about structure, nature, culture (how to explore and integrate this in musical concepts?) the full range of different sounds we are able to produce with our voice(s) (we are living in an age/place of abundance) esp. the hidden treasure in polyphonic or contrapuntal overtone singing

... ich habe noch einmal nachgeschaut:
es ist nicht der 22.04.22, sondern der 20.04.22,
an dem du deinen Körper verlassen hast.

Dear Jan,

I received just today the message that you have died on 22. April 2022 after a short, serious illness.

So on this way a big thank you for our meetings in real life in Prague, Dresden, Taucha and the Saurierspuren near Bad Essen. Thanks a lot for your music which is really unique and stronger than the death!

Jens

Not classical, but classic. Perhaps it doesn't translate well. But here Footprints is considered a "jazz standard"; in other words a great old piece respected and performed by many jazz musicians. Wayne Shorter is a very great master of sax and music, and a very important composer and bandleader.
