Influences

A few people that influenced Kahuna Kawentzmann’s approach towards his music are of course the classic surf and rock’n’roll heroes like Elvis, Link Wray, Dick Dale and Cliff Gallup, but also guitarist/producers like Les Paul, Vincent Bell, Al Caiola and Ladi Geisler.
Long running influences on the German guitarist’s production-style come from Joe Meek and Phil Spector on one side, and Jazz (f.e. Cal Tjader) and 60s big bands (f.e. Bert Kaempfert) on the other. The naturally balanced soundscapes of the latter two are increasingly reflected in the more recent recordings, while The Tiki & The Guitar sculptures each individual track more freeform.

Django Reinhardt, Scotty Moore, Cliff Gallup, Dick Dale, Nokie Edwards, Claus Ogerman, Bert Kaempfert, Hans Rehbein, Brian Setzer, Deke Dickerson, Arthur Lyman, Martin Denny, Werner Müller, Joe Meek, Shadow Morton, The Lively Ones, The Sandals, Laurindo Almeida, Link Wray - just too many to name here, here’s more.

Biography

- Kahuna Kawentzmann has been recording surf music since 1988
- the album Cool Surfin’ was released in 1994 with The Looney Tunes band (Hamburg, Germany)
- two more albums followed: Modern Sounds of…and Beyond The Dune (’95 and ’97 respectively)
- various line-ups of the band made small tours in Germany, until the summer of 1998, when the band broke up
- in the summer of 2002 Kahuna Kawentzmann moved to Berlin from Hamburg

The Looney Tunes were more or less a traditional surf-band, featuring the proper vintage equipment and line-ups from three to five members.The material was about one third Kahuna Kawentzmann tunes, one third surf classics and one third oddities, like german 60s soundtrack themes channeled through Kahuna Kawentzmann’s reverbed Fender Jaguar guitar.The range of influences in Kahuna Kawentzmann’s solo projects is a good deal wider.While always aiming at an early/mid 60s sound impression, he incorporates spaceage-bachelor-pad-music and exotica, soul and funk, and modern touches of breakbeats and dub echos.The Tiki relation in this whole project (The Tiki & The Guitar), apart from the obvious Exotica based title track, is regarded to Kahuna Kawentzmann’s time as a DJ. In those days his Tiki Lounge nights in Hamburg’s bars (the Meanie Bar and the Komet), were melting pot style events. With the same wide scope of music that today reflects in Kahuna Kawentzmann’s own music. Tiki being the god of the artist, and thus creativity, he was the charm, the bond to 60s Easy and Surf, 50s Rock’n’Roll and Jazz, as well as Bossa Nova and any tropical music that suited the particular hot summer night in Hamburg’s red light destrict, from Dub to Limbo, from Exotica to Steeldrums.


Discography

Tiki Traveling with Kahuna Kawentzmann 8 track album
The Tiki & The Guitar 12 track album
Je t’aime (moi non plus) on Beyond The Sea, V.A. (Cordelia)
Good Morning Starshine on Hair, V.A. (Omom)
Gogo Sitar on Oriental Club, V.A. (Universal Music)

Gogo Sitar on Soul Shaker Volume 2 V.A. (Record Kicks)
Gogo Sitar b/w Road to Estoril 7'' single on Stark Reality
Gogo Sitar on Mojo Club Volume 9 V.A. (Universal Music)

You see, the opener of The Tiki & The Guitar, Gogo Sitar, got it’s due recognition, with the other tracks waiting unpatiently in row.

Sweet Hollywaiians





Jul 13 2009 6:33 PM


"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)

"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

Silver Sound - Online Mastering!





Jun 25 2009 4:33 PM

Professionelles Premastering ist heutzutage ein entscheidender Faktor für den Erfolg einer Musikproduktion.
Viele Mastering Studios sind für den "Musiker im Alleingang" jedoch kaum bezahlbar.
Silver Sound hingegen gibt selbstfinanzierten Künstlern die Möglichkeit, Mastering kostengünstig und auf höchstem Niveau in Anspruch zu nehmen.

Das Vielleichtlied (B. Brecht / H. Eisler):

Vielleicht vergeht uns so der Rest der Jahre?
Vielleicht vergehn die Schatten, die uns stören?
Und die Gerüchte, die wir kürzlich hörten
Die finster waren, waren nicht das Wahre.
Vielleicht, dass sie uns noch einmal vergessen
So wie wir sie auch gern vergessen hätten.
Wir setzen uns vielleicht noch oft zum Essen.
Vielleicht sterben wir noch in unsern Betten?
Vielleicht, dass sie uns nicht verdammen, sondern loben?
Vielleicht gibt uns die Nacht sogar das Licht her?
Vielleicht bleibt dieser Mond einst voll und wechselt nicht mehr?
Vielleicht fällt Regen doch von unten nach oben!
