Bernhard Wöstheinrich – Letterpress Soundscapes

Leave a comment

Materiaal Series, Part 059

Music for the opening of the exhibition titled “Weil es wirklich wichtig ist” (“Because it really matters”) by Manfred Makowski, which took place at the house of the county council Gütersloh, October 27, 2022.

The main subject of this exhibition were historical methods of printing. Manfred has made it his duty to preserve these techniques and to work creatively with them. Hence this present music session includes sounds and noises from various letterpress machines and other ambient sounds from printing plants and the like.

Bernhard Wöstheinrich & Leander Reininghaus – billions of years before the end of the world

Leave a comment

Materiaal Series, Part 058

Recording of the live performance by Bernhard Wöstheinrich and Leander Reininghaus on the occasion of the finissage of Christine Kriegerowski and Bernd Riehm’s exhibition “Billions of years before the end of the world, rhapsody for two” at Wolfram Spyra’s Gallery World Wide Window, August 21th, 2022

Leander and Bernhard have picked up the vibes of the detailed, lively, desperately admonishing, but always humorously distanced images by Riehm and Kriegerowski and complemented them musically the with their mesmerising, yet powerful soundscapes, full of atmosphere.

The complete edition

In November 2016 centrozoon, consisting of Markus Reuter and myself, went on a 20th anniversary tour to the US.
On this tour, we mixed our space music and experimental electronica in varying proportions, depending on the nature of the context in which we were performing.
Having started performing together in 1996, this series of concerts is a personal celebration of a long-term artistic collaboration.

Bernhard Wöstheinrich & Dirk Schlömer – ORNMTL 20220712

1 Comment

Materiaal Series, Part 057

ORNMNTL is an offspring from the organic groove music project Ornah-Mental by Dirk Schlömer. I joined Dirk in 2018 to work on the release „Strong and Stable“ and play a few live gigs.

Dirk Schlömer is no stranger to the German music scene. Born in Cologne, he was guitarist in the german band “Ton Steine Scherben“; one of the first and most influential German language rock bands of the 1970s and early 1980s, a musical mouthpiece of a new left movement during that time and in their hometown of West Berlin in particular. Schlömer also worked closely with Rio Reiser, the front man of that same band, but who later started to work as a solo artist. Furthermore Schlömer was the Mastermind of “Das Zeichen“, a german gothic-ethno project, to name just those out of many others bands and projects worth mentioning.

When we were working on Ornah-Mental’s current release „Strong and Stable“ I had the idea create music in the same manner, but with a more playful approach, also with having potential live performances in mind.
