Thanks for the add. I am currently working on a solo cello piece, but keep re-writing the first movement!!! Ughh... I'm starting to feel like Brahms or Bruckner with like 15 versions of it!!! Maybe I'll send it to you when I settle on something. Great to meet you.
Hi Tanja! Thank you very much for your friendship om myspace. Your music sounds great - I like it! If you like, please have a look to my special constructed Guareri Cello - http://www.joerg-wunderlich.de/english/instruments/cellos/. If you ever will be in my area, you're welcome to visit my workshop.
Bienvenue chez QuarZz.
QuarZz aime réarranger les standards de Jazz à sa façon et a eu envie pour le cinquantenaire de la disparition de Boris Vian de reprendre plusieurs de ses chansons et textes où swinguent humour et poésie et de les réarranger, voire carrément les déranger à sa manière.
"Il faut me jurer de m'aimer", "Blues du Dentiste", "initiation à la Pataphysique", "C'est le Be Bop", "J'suis Snob", "Johnny fais moi mal", "Nous Avions Vingt Ans" et bien d'autres...
Amour, jeu avec la mort, soif de vivre, dérision, critique du pouvoir en place, des thèmes pleins d'actualité.
Gilbert pour QuarZz

- The project was about trying to explore different poetry styles, always with different instrumentations and musical structures because I don't want to repeat a single one - An album not directly linked to the four previous ones, but with the impossible to avoid come back to fetish themes - Second Life is about the technological phenomena, but I got better things to do with my life than spending it on the clone of a capitalist society - We might as well hope for a real bankrupcy for all of us, it would be worth it to kill capitalism
Most of you will just want to listen to the music made available. Well, here it is with great streaming (right after MA VIE est ICI which is a reminder of my previous album conclusion) http://www.freakywaves.com
