File of the Week 35/2010:
"Inceptive Shutter"
A short experiment in sound and dynamics.
The music is improvised and loosely based on two quite different soundtracks to recent hollywood movies.
This should be played loud over a pair of reasonable speakers.

"Longing for Lüdi"
It's ten years now since Werner Lüdi died..
I had the priviledge of playing with him on what turned out to be one of his last gigs in May 2005.
Lüdi is now considered to be one of Europe's key figures of Free Jazz.
June 21 there will be a concert/memorial gig called "Longing for Lüdi" at the Theater Chur.
This following excerpt from that last duo-concert with me and Werner will be shown -among other clips- after the gig.
This clip is already posted in the "music/performance" section, but i think this justifies a repost.

"Harmonizer Experiment"
A little experiment:
Play a simple legato-line (not a particularly melodic one), then let software harmonizers do a chord analysis.
Then orchestrate this and create a short orchestral piece without playing additional notes.
Take 3 hours max to do this.
Below the orchestrated version first, then the simple original melodic line.

"High Society Stracks"
The Basel High Society is not exactly my main concern.
But using a track from the Amusis catalogue on a TV programme always puts a rascal smile on my face.
The Track heard towards the end is from the Album "Diet Bang: Zwar" (2001); see "Music/Performance" for details.
Journalist: Denise Schneitter. Editor: Daniel Stössel.

"So much FAR BEYOND"
So much FAR BEYOND hasn't been seen for over ten years, not on one table.
FAR BEYOND was a late eighties/early nineties psychedelic rock band.
Back then, we explored the mysteries and marvels ouf sound, song and weed.
Yesterday we met again. It was great, guys!
A pic from yesterday and an excerpt from "Comma", a FAR BEYOND song from 1989.

"Stössel/Lüdi: Bär (1999)"
One from the archives this week.

Daniel Stössel: Composition, sounds, piano, roughmix-production.
Werner Lüdi: Saxophones
Guest musician on this track: Urs Schäfer: Bass, percussion
Maybe this peculiar improvisation-project will one day be officially released.
Or maybe not.

"Introgression"
Every "Intro" to any REIZ TRIGGER album always takes off exactly where the last piece of the previous album ended.
So the third album (yet untitled) will start off with a few backwards-sounds from the ending of "The Satellite God", the last piece on
"Oxidation Noise".
It might sound something like this.

"20 Years of REIZ TRIGGER"
A closer look at the flipside of the first REIZ TRIGGER-CD reveals:
Madness! In 2010, this project turns 20 years of age!
With only 2 official CD releases so far, the REIZ TRIGGER project is a slow one though...
Infos about my other works on the amusis-mainsite.
And hopefully, the third album will come out this year.
A good and inspirational year to everyone! cheers!
