Here Faust keyboardist Hans-Joachim Irmler in a former paper factory has set up a recording studio from now some reputation at home and abroad and held for six years with his wife, Cornelia, Paul Klangbad the festival at the factory. A 3-day music marathon with the aim to trace the remote, and underground trends of all kinds, without, however, develop vain fear of contact with inputs. In terms of quality are certain, but indeterminate autonomy and perhaps something like a vision of the criteria. The concept is successful and developed an attraction that goes far beyond the region.
The number of visitors has grown steadily, the family-friendly nature of the event, which - has besides the "Security" - is invariably organized by volunteers, not suffer, however. The volunteer fire department is responsible for the parking area, a city councilor sitting at the desk, looking over the district administrator, and for Sunday breakfast sets the SPEX-chief to his favorite discs. Pleasant.
Completely different sounds in the morning before. Pure noise generated by Arnaud Rivière, in the course of another festival is also known as "the crazy Belgians. In the middle of amused and / or fascinated audience squatting on a round leather seat cushions, Rivière regaled a small-format electrical park Billigplattenspielertrümmern, wires and resistors, output modules, the amplifier input, etc. put a terrible racket - and yet you can listen to while watching and not help the realization that this acting with the passion of a rock drummer husband always seems to know what he's doing. THE performance of the festival, somehow.
Also the grand finale on Sunday evening, when turning up the Blasguerilla group LaBrassBanda of Chiemsee and the audience once again brings in the right way. As always strongly represented, the electronics group, for example, with To Rococo Rot, whose minimalist electro-pop sound at first somewhat suffered from weakness. The performance of laptop artist Burnt Friedman and trance drummer Jaki Liebezeit (ex Can) is an outstanding experience. Liebezeit integrates its magical rhythm of arches so organically in the electronic beats, the music sounds both as a unified whole, this can not miss sophistication and energy. Despite the rain, the square in front of the main stage is full.
The New York band Oneida tearing people with thick walls of sound from Kraut, prog and felt towards one hundred guitars, electronics veterans Dieter Moebius (Cluster, Harmonia), lifts off easily with timeless unältlichen sounds, and the Munich discourse Popper FSK play a concentrated, finely balanced set of substrates from country, blues, folk songs, soul and 80s pop. Cool and clever, not only because of age.
As in the past year, the Brooklyn duo Christy & Emily dreamily with his one-spun singer / songwriter from pop vocals, guitar, electric piano and a few fragments of noise to the audience favorites. Emily Manzo during the festival turns out to also be extremely versatile, professional musician, when the neo-classical chamber ensemble Till By Turning from Brooklyn (a program with pieces by the young composer and student of Anthony Braxton Jessica Pavone) sits at the piano, to later in the Drunken British post-punk eminences of Nightingales atonal beat in the keys.
Like a bunch of well-heeled 17-year-old OhnoOno appear on the stage, one of Denmark's most famous pop groups, proved to be the next moment as a professional, excellently rehearsed band. A mix of glam and prog with ornate psychedelic melodies and high male voices, streamlined post-punk momentum and a drummer, looking at the one that he likes to strike out.
It also, though to a very different way, also applies to Bill Elgart. Elgart, one of the great modern and free jazz drummer who played with include Carla Bley, Sam Rivers and Tomasz Stanko, and for years lived in Ulm, plays as a member of the improv troupe Wufftata, still occupied with the guitarist Udo Eberl and members of the German rock band NUFA. An extremely energetic set, the 67-year-old virtuoso plays Elgart, unleashed like the young dogs around him, among which is shown all the guitarist Jonas Dorn, found that between Fripp, Torn Frisell and his tone and repeats the control herumreißt game.
A little bit of jitters was the Birmingham band Pram, should be gentle with her pop-spun follow the hardcore hip-hop of Dälek. Would the audience join this radical shift? No problem. Both Dälek, which lay down a furious set of bristling with energy and expression, as well Pram with its magical mix of bizarre-silent melodic rock and quirky visuals came to dazzling. So much for openness and spirit of exploration is rarely encountered. Also distinguishes the "mini-Woodstock on the Danube" by others (rock) events of the summer.
