About AXEL MANRICO HEILHECKER

	TWOMOON - Musicvideo for a piece from "Twomoon Music Album" , shot mainly in the South of Marrocco © Phonokultur 09 CHEMIN D'AIR - Axel heilhecker/Thomas Heberer © Phonokultur 09
	Axel was born 11.28.19.. in Bergisch Gladbach (near Cologne),Germany. Learned guitar at the age of 14. In the age of 20 he was trained by trumpet-player DON CHERRY. Jammin' with the fellows from "CAN" and "KRAAN" in early days. First record release 1977 with his Band FOOD BAND in England on Pye. In the 80's he became part of the german rockscene as live and sessionplayer and composer. Working there with his schoolfriend WOLF MAAHN, KLAUS LAGE, WESTERNHAGEN or HERBERT GRÖNEMEYER he is to be heard on ca. 2,5 mill sold records of that period, which gave him the opportunity to direct not only his his characteristic playinstyle but his own songwriting over to a mayor public. At that time he became one of the most fav. guitarplayers on the german scene and one of a few with international response. In the 90's he combined his abilities in instrumental visionable music and songwriting to release 2 Albums with EMI, "HEILHECKER" and "CULTURE CROSS", produced by himself. He produced the first german Surroundsound-album, released by jazz/folk violinplayer THOMAS KAGERMANN, worked with the UNKNOWN CASES, produced the classical sitar player T.N. NAGAR from India and released a album together with Djembe-player SAMSON GASSAMA from Gambia. From 1996 till it's end 2006 he was member of the original "HARALD SCHMIDT SHOW"-Band too, with MEL COLLINS (KING CRIMSON,CAMEL,DIRE SRAITS), ROSKO GEE (TRAFFIC, GO, CAN), HELMUT ZERLETT etc.,backing up show and guests like OLETA ADAMS, WILLI DEVILLE, BRIAN FERRY, MEATLOAF, CANDY DULFER,GRACE JONES,NINA HAGEN, ERIC BURDON etc.This kind of a german version of the "Letterman Show" was transmitted daily on german TV's main channels. 1995 he started up “PHONOROID" with Singer,Poet and Filmmaker VANESSA VASSAR from New Mexico,they released 3 Albums at Intuition/Schott and produced some Documentary together. The latest one "CINDERELLAS OF SANTA FE" just won (April 07)the IIFF - award as best US documentary, while their alternative Avantgarde-folkmusic took place around the world. Another act featured by Axel as producer and musician as well is "SUNYA BEAT".This band together with famous "ASHRA" -drummer HARALD GROSSKOPF and later on with electronic-soundingeneer STEVE BALTES (DEEP VOICES), became another mayor output since 1996. They released 3 Albums, one with Axel's new own label “ PHONOKULTUR". They did a couple of sound illustrations for german Light-artist MISCHA KUBALL as well, shortly in April 07' together with STEFAN SCHNEIDER (TO ROCOCO ROT). Their Freestyle, Trance and Big Beat sound is considered as takin' german Old School - Electronics and Spacesound further into "time and space", same as "FISHMOON", Axel's personal release playground of "guitaristic space music". With "FISHMOON" he follows up early ECM-traditions as well as 70's Prog- and Spacerock Sound. 2 Albums are available at Herzbergverlag and Phonokultur.

Neu Gestalt	May 23 2009 9:05 AM Hi Axel What I enjoy most in your work is where you use your guitar at its most textural and offset sometimes cyclical sounding moods against mournful trumpet playing... I like the clear sounding ECM-like feel when you do that. Is that Don Cherry playing BTW? I enjoyed my visit - Have a great weekend.. Les
