The music on the player above:
DB and Powerjam were recorded live and direct to two mics at
Ben's Jam Nov 1st 07, Christian Spohn on bass and Steffen Stütz ..s.
These two cuts were deliberately extracted "as is" from the first set, a
continuous jam of 62 minutes lengh. No fx, cuts or eq at all.
Ben's Jam Impro 1 and 2 were (leisurely) recorded on July 5 at the bett-club.de.
No 1 is a 4min cut from a 30min piece of just going for it. Like we do.
No 2 is a 30 min jam piece morphed into one 17 min piece by two fades/cuts.
Claus Kiesselbach, MalletKat, Christian Spohn, bass 'n fx, acoustic drums only.
Philling Space Project was recorded live Dec 04 with
Janek Gwizdala on bass, Audun Waage, tpt, and Franco Piccino, keys.
Apart from recording and performing with diverse projects,
I am currently working with amazing bass players to form the tightest sections
- in the literal sense. Powerful, subtle, intricate, energetic, sonically fine tuned.
And we are already out there, backing some fine performers.
Dream come true.
schöne Grooves die Du da auf Deiner Seite spielst. Würde gerne auf dem Museumsuferfest zu Deinen Konzerten vorbeikommen, spiele aber selber sowohl am Freitag wie auch am Samstag. Mit Antagon und mit meiner Coverband. Aber vielleicht klappt es ein anderes Mal uns zu synchronisieren.
Benno my man! Always great to hear from a friend and a drummer giant like you! All is well with me. With Milan we often work together but we also work out together at the gym whenever there is a chance:-) How is everything with you!? I may be in Germany in September-I'll let you know.
