New Oidupaa Recordings!

As you may know, last summer I recorded 8 tracks by Vladimir Oiyun Oidupaa. Very high quality, originally 1-bit 5.86 MHz DSF recordings, super intimate, beautiful if I may say so, mixing to 44.1k/24-bit.

Working now on final mixes, liner notes, translations, etc. I'm hoping to have it all ready to sell via downloads (no plans for physical copies) in a month or two.

Here is a sample, his song "Only You" (high-quality mp3):… Continue

Es Gezehtermordio ghörter durs Hinteramt halle.

Kalimba! Spryh and Mascara with Lothar Berger

Lothar Berger and me trying out combinations of guitar, kalimba and 2 voices on the patterns of Spryh. Lothar is a teacher of the ta-ke-ti-na method and overtone singer. Unlike me, he often changes the fundamental note while singing overtones. The pattern he sings here reminds me of the xhosa women´s overtone singing.

A cozy evening version of Mascara - it´s full of mistakes, I am messing up chords, the intonation is sloppy but still it conveys… Continue

2010 Robodonien will be the place for the first gig of the project presented in this blog:

Kargyraa Krew - Afrodonia Jam

Three jams based on parts of my Fake African Memories compositions Gogokokoroko, Spryh and Mascara - on stage at the Afrodonia Festival in Cologne.

The Kargyraa Krew: Kolja Simon, Martin Pässler & me, cajon played by Peter Halves. While the polyphonic subtleties I have in mind for the choir versions of my songs will take more time to be realized on stage, these singers instantly add power and liveliness with their performance which is… Continue

das KONZERT IN PICHL BEI WELS

am Samstag, den 12.6.2010 verlief wunderbar. Die kleine, aber feine spätgotische Kirche bei Kerzenlicht war fast ganz voll, wir fühlten uns wohl und das Publikum war begeistert.
Danke an das Kulturcafé Pichl für die gute Organisation und die nette Einladung!

Mascara with two Kargyraa voices

This is the first step to building a "Kargyraa Krew" to sing the compositions of my "Fake African Memories". Martin Pässler is doing a fascinatingly deep bass figure while I am singing two melody parts, which will be sung simultaniously as soon as we are three singers - Kolja Simon will join us soon.

Anyone who is interested in collaborating on this project, please contact… Continue

Polyrhythmic rehearsals

Since I´ve fallen in love with the tension of polyrhythmic ambiguity I was looking forward to performing my compositions from the"Fake African Memories" with more than one drummer/percussionist. I am happy that this has finally happened and turned out to be just as great as I imagined it to be.

This version of Mascara is taken from the first rehearsal with Peter Halves on percussion and Florian Dietz on drums, it´s the first time the two play together. I wanted the rhythmic feel to… Continue
