About Me

when i was very small, my brother made a cassette imitating aeroplanes with his electric guitar for me, which influenced me very much, i guess. my mother told me, that i always imitated the subway as a kid. nowadays, i'm running through the streets knocking everything i find, that seems worth knocking. sometimes my fingers really hurt then. the problem is, that people don't really think about how things could sound, they only think about what they could look like. ____________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ mr.s. as he's real name might be plays in 4 bands now, which are tupolev, kes, primordial undermind and roscoe fletcher. also enjoyed playing with people like lars stigler, misha marks, michael fischer, the vienna improvisers orchestra, and released his first solo album: "thank you for listening to this record which made my hours pass so quickly" on cd-r netlabel 12rec.

Influences: "Während an der neuen Musik dem von der Produktion abgeschnittenen Publikum die Oberfläche befremdend klingt, gingen doch ihre exponiertesten Phänomene aus eben den gesellschaftlichen und anthropologischen Voraussetzungen hervor, welche die eigenen der Hörer sind. Die Dissonanzen, die sie schrecken, reden von ihrem eigenen Zustand: einzig darum sind sie ihnen unerträglich. Umgekehrt ist der Gehalt des allzu Vertrauten so weit dem entrückt, was heute über die Menschen verhängt wird, dass ihre eigene Erfahrung kaum mehr mit der kommuniziert, für welche die traditionelle Musik zeugt. Wo sie zu verstehen glauben nehmen sie bloss noch den toten Abguss dessen wahr, was sie als fraglosen Besitz hüten und was schon verloren ist in dem Augenblick, in dem es zum Besitz wird: neutralisiert, der eigenen kritischen Substanz beraubt, gleichgültiges Schaustück. In der Tat fällt denn auch in die Auffassung des Publikums von traditioneller Musik nur das Allergröbste, Einfälle, die sich behalten lassen; ominös schöne Stellen Stimmungen und Assoziationen. Der musikalische Zusammenhang der den Sinn stiftet, bleibt in jeder frühen Beethovensonate dem durchs Radio dressierten Hörer nicht weniger verborgen, als in einem Schönbergquartett, das ihn wenigstens daran mahnt, dass sein Himmel nicht voll der geigen hängt, an deren süssem Ton er sich weidet."____________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ Theodor W. Adorno: Philosophie der neuen Musik
Sounds Like: "...And a terrible thing is music in general. What is it? Why does it do what it does? They say that music stirs the soul. Stupidity! A lie! It acts, it acts frightfully (I speak for myself), but not in an ennobling way. It acts neither in an ennobling nor a debasing way, but in an irritating way. How shall I say it? Music forces me to forget myself, my real situation. It transports me into a state which is not my own. Under the influence of music I really seem to feel what I do not feel, to understand what I do not understand, to have powers which I cannot have. Music seems to me to act like yawning or laughter; I have no desire to sleep, but I yawn when I see others yawn; with no reason to laugh, I laugh when I hear others laugh. And music transports me immediately into the condition of soul in which he who wrote the music found himself at that time. I become confounded with his soul, and with him I pass from one condition to another. But why that? I know nothing about it. But he who wrote the 'Kreutzer Sonata'-Beethoven- knew well why he found himself in a certain condition. That condition led him to certain actions, and for that reason to him had a meaning, but to me none, none whatever. And that is why music provokes an excitement which it does not bring to a conclusion. For instance, a military march is played; the soldier passes to the sound of this march, and the music is finished. A dance is played; I have finished dancing, and the music is finished. A mass is sung; I receive the sacrament, and again the music is finished. But any other music provokes an excitement, and this excitement is not accompanied by the thing that needs properly to be done, and that is why music is so dangerous, and sometimes acts so frightfully. In China music is under the control of the State, and that is the way it ought to be. Is it admissible that the first comer should hypnotize one or more persons, and then do with them as he likes? And especially that the hypnotizer should be the first immoral individual who happens to come along?..." ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------Leo Tolstoy "Kreutzer Sonata"
