AUDIO ARTS
The album PENDULUMS has been released! All the rhythms on the album have been derived from pendulum movements. The only sample set used is „Rhodes Long Soft“ from my beloved Fender Rhodes Stage Piano. Find it on Spotify, Apple Music and everywhere else!
A project by Andrei Loginov and Caroline Siegers
CONCEPT
The artist Andrei Loginov captures the ephemere in three-dimen- sional images. Talking to me about the question how music could be condensed in a picure, we developed the idea to visualise the ballistics of the violin bow.
This makes it possible to receive VISUAL SIGNATURES from past times. For this purpose, the project uses a selection of musical ex- cerpts from four centuries.
The illuminated bow is photographed using lenticular photography, the sound is recorded. In the lenticular print, a three-dimensional effect is achieved. The recorded audio can be retrieved via QR-Code, or alternatively be installed together with the image, if the surroundings allow to do so.
This way, a musical fragment is transformed into a sculpture of light and sound.

This video was created on Dec 20, 2022 the Royal Academy of Music, London, Susie Sainsbury Theatre. The one hour program was directed by Ivan himself and filmed in one go by Tenor Andrew Staples.
Ivan and I just finished the post production.
These Songs were recorded at Turbinenhalle Stienitzsee in August 2022. A representative of „Kiev’s Avantgarde“, Valentin Silvestrov was initially a construction engineer and visited music school at night. He then studied composition with Boris Ljatoschinski and Lew Rewuzki.
In 2022, he came to Berlin from Kiev.
Op. 32 by Brahms was composed in 1864. All songs express some kind of conflict between lovers. „So stehn wir, ich und meine Weide“ is really my favourite.
In our laboratory, Stock and I are using our newly built MIDI-controllers pendulum and crank for the first time. The piece is a vivisection of Mikis Theodorakis‘ song „Tin porta anigo to vradi“, from Ta Lyrica, lyrics by Tassos Livaditis.
Since the basic idea of cranking a MIDI-Sequence is derived from the functionality of a music box, the original music box needs its place in the lab as well. And since the „triplet“, an instrument initially used in a theatre show in 2015, is still working, this punchcard dj instrument appears likewise.
Thank you Philipp for your lovely camera work.
KALLE KALIMA’s album LIVE ON PLANET BERLIN is out. Kalle is one of the 3 nominees for German Jazz Prize 2022. We did this rbbKultur record at the legendary AUFSTURZ, featuring Oliver Potratz on bass and Oliver Steidle on drums – just shortly before the pandemic came to Berlin. The album is a wild safari to the outskirts of planet earth. It is published on enja & yellowbird records.
The album TRANSFORMATIONS AND FURTHER PASSAGES features Jazz repertoire from the 1950s and ‘60s written by Albert Mangelsdorff, Joki Freund, Karl Berger, Klaus Lenz and Rolf Kühn, uniquely interpreted by masters of the clarinet Gebhard Ullmann, Jürgen Kupke and Michael Thieke.
Review by Lynn Bayley
The rbb recording from Großer Sendesaal was produced by Ulf Drechsel and supervised by Caroline Siegers.
Punchcard Records is a label for mostly punched music. In Dec. 2021 an entire advent calendar was released. Some of the short films are just as nice in summer.

The story is made from a bunch of autobiographical sketches by Hoffmann who is the hero of this night.
