1991 - Kraftwerk

Image
01.11.1991, Kongresshalle Frankfurt: KRAFTWERK „The robots“, „Autobahn“, „Tour de France“, „The model“, „Computerworld“ „Music non Stopp“ ... the list of hits of the cult band from Düsseldorf is really remarkable and after nine years of stage absence the “Robots” once more embark on a tour. The Kongresshalle (Congress hall) Frankfurt was sold out. The show was scheduled for 8 p.m. and the tickets cost DM 38,50,- (quite a lot back then) Shortly after 8 p.m. strange electronic noises echoed from the speakers still with the lights fully on. The sounds lasted for almost 15 minutes. Then they stopped: Showtime: “Ladies and Gentleman, Madame’s et Monsieur’s, Meine Damen und Herren: Die Mensch Maschine (The man machine)” ... After this introduction from the „Voice of energy“ Kraftwerk started the gig. Hutter, Schneider und co. „lifeless“ as usual. The futuristic stage featured the whole Kling Klang Studio as well as four 5meter wide screens on which a video sequence was shown simultaneously ...

2003 - Beauty and the beast ON ICE

27.03.2003 Point Theatre / Dublin Walt Disney’s Beauty & the beast On Ice Just to say: It was superb. Merchandising good were to be found on all levels of the Point Theatre. From torches with a built in rose to sweet dishes to Belle as a puppet wearing a golden costume to the beast as a teddy bear – everything your (or your children’s hearts) desire. The prices though were beyond daylight robbery. On the other hand side it is always great quality when it says: Disney! The show starts with a medley performed by Disney’s cult figures Mickey, Donald and Balu before the real play begins. With great humour and great skill the actors “fly” across the ice and even though it is clear right from the start that Belle will fall for the beast and thereby lifts the curse it was still nice to watch.

25.03.2017 Electronic Music Conference: Chris Wave, Richard Barbieri, Chris Payne, Rusty Egan, Martyn Ware

Image
The Birmingham & Midlands Institute, Birmingham With masterclasses, performances and talks including Q&A, the electronic music conference in Birmingham had interesting and influential musicians to offer. While organiser Chris Wave said very little and showed a 26 minute 1980’s film called ‘Knights electric’ with a great soundtrack and a crappy storyline during his 30 minutes set the event really became meaningful when the various conveyors of electronic music gave their talks and allowed plenty of time for audience members to ask questions. First up was synthesist Richard Barbieri whose band ‘Japan’ enjoyed success in the mid 1970s into the early 1980’s and especially their album ‘Tin Drum’ is seen as ground-breaking. Not as big in their home country as they should have been, Japan still had a large following in the UK. Barbieri was a down to earth guy who openly talked about the trappings of working on projects alone and the joys of collaborating and recalled some ...
