Is it snowing there? And did you see if the swans are still in the park’s lake?
I can say that the swans here are chatting, laughing and swimming all day long in the Landwehrkanal and yes!, I saw the snow! Actually, I was totally covered with snow for the first time in my life!
This month has been rich of busy weeks and exciting news!
It started with some days of recordings together with Robert Lippok, for the New York radio station WFMU and for other new ideas (more news soon!).
And then it went on with my first trip to Düsseldorf! I was there because I’ll create/ record/ play live the music for the brand-new theatre-dance-work by the choreographer Katja F. M. Wolf. As you can see in my Upcoming-Shows-list, the première will be on 4 February, 2009, at FFT Kammerspiele, the work will have a run of six nights and we'll have after-show talks, too! You’re all warmly invited!
In the meantime I’m also working on my own (first!) website, learning unknown things about apartment plants, experimenting with microphones, collecting white ceramics mini-sculptures and reading surprising books and magazines.
I wish you a nice and warm start for the new year! Go talk with the swans!
XO,
Bi.
P.S. On Robert’s page you can also listen to an excerpt of our concert at the Brighton Festival!

Scores for fingertips on tiptoe is the title of my first album, which is due to be released in 2009 on This is it, forever and Boring Machines. It features three compositions. Two of them are contemporary music pieces: one by Raymond Murray Schafer (The Crown of Ariadne, where I play harp and percussions at the same time: sounds tricky? Well, it is), one by Bernard Andrès (Élégie pour la mort d'un berger). The final one was composed in the early 20th century by Henriette Renié (Légende). Don't be afraid by the drama-tic titles, they're really nice tunes! Judge by yourself (you can listen to some previews in the jukebox above) and let me know what you think about it.

the
next mweiooje - open stage for free music will be on the 29th of June,
that's next Monday, at loophole, boddinstr. 60, berlin neukölln. I hope
you'll all come, so we can have an other wonderful evening of
improvised, free and borderless music (big words!). Again, please bring
as much equipment as you have, although we'll have something there
(amp, mixer, soundsystem, we'll see about the rest...). I'll also
record it again this time.
"An exquisite and imaginative London talent, Windmill combines star-gazing and
shoe-gazing without a hint of mediocre middle ground..." - BBC
"Freakoid Americana that sounds like a lost Mercury Rev or Grandaddy album. Not bad for a one-man
band from Newport Pagnell." - NME
"Timeless and Graceful. Tales of asthmatics and fashion houses, plastic pre-flight seats and boarding
lounges that you can't help returning to." - THE GUARDIAN
"[...] an impressive album of displacement anxiety with sonics to match. Think Mercury Rev making
a break up album." - THE INDEPENDENT
Einlass: 20:00 / Beginn 21:00

Hey guys! After a year and a half we are back charging full steam ahead with the release of our latest album "Songs For The Road Towards The End Of The World" this past May 31, 2009. Unlike our two previous releases this was a long duration album (LP) featuring 12 all created by Pete Drown. Mike Mellow participated in the album by co-producing it and creating the art. The first single is called "Ciento Once Grados" (111 Degrees) and we have a brief video/slideshow teaser for it on our page.
We want to invite you to download our free album and share with us your feedback. All you have to do is click on the Cover art either on this message or by visiting our myspace page. There you can also download our previous two EP's if you don't have them already.
So, that being said, I hope you download it, I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you let us know. Thanks again. Micro out...
