Bernhard Wöstheinrich & TaboTago Release Series

bewoest · Joined: Dec 31, 2008 Posts: 89 Location: germany

Since already quite some time I am releasing music that takes the concept of just presenting a singular album a bit further.

Let me introduce you to my Release Series. The idea behind this string of releases is to come up with an appropriate outlet for various recordings of live-performances, collaborative sessions and sonic experiments, as well as older music that has not been made available yet.

Each release is carefully edited and mastered to be in no way inferior to a standard studio release.

The current release of the series is always a free download ("name-your-price")

TaboTago - Sessions 004 - 20171210 Live at Zionskirche Berlin

In edition 004 of the TaboTago SESSIONS series the recording of the concert from December 10, 2017 in the Zionskirche (Church of Zion), Berlin is presented in its entirety.

https://tabotago.bandcamp.com/album/sessions-004-20171210-live-at-zionskirche-berlin-free-download

The band performed a set that discloses how they actually are to be considered as an Edgar Froese and early Tangerine Dream Tribute project.

It is not only about electronic devices and sequencer laden tracks, it is more about progressiveness out of a awareness of history and contemporary art, as well as there is a certain sense of minimalism and transcendency.

A concert very evocative of the early Berlin spirit of electronic & experimental music.

Bernhard Wöstheinrich - Live at Stockton University 2015

Materiaal Series, Part I

https://bernhardwoestheinrich.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-stockton-university-2015

The very first issue of the Materiaal Release Series, from November 2015.

The idea of releasing a coherent series of albums as a kind of "meta-album" arose from the fact that I brought home a number of good recordings from the concerts and performances I did during my US-northeast tour in Oct. 2015.

The Materiaal Release series started up with a 2-track live recording of my live performance at the radio show "Digital Dreams" (WLFR) at Stockton University, Pomona, NJ on October 13, 2015. It had been released on November 1, 2015

The music is composed and performed without pre-recordings. All structures and accompaniments are created and generated during the performance in real time using complex live-looping- and live-sequencing systems.

The design concept of the first batch of releases in this series was very much based on the idea to resemble a classic vinyl artwork. In fact I was inspired very much by Genesis' "Selling England by the Pound", whereas the actual artwork was created by Christine Kriegerowski right from the beginning. I gave Christine free rein, and so for the very first release she chose the scene from a session I did with Howard Moscovitz and Bill Fox. This session has then only released on May 30, 2016, as Materiaal Series Part VII, titled "Live in Allentown 2015" by Bernhard Wöstheinrich & Twyndyllyngs

"Digital Dreams 2015” showcases all the signature elements of Bernhard Wöstheinrich’s; inventive textural rhythms, pounding bass ostinati plus intriguing ambient sound textures. This music attributes a new meaning to the term Berlin School" - Kathy Starkey, Make Weird Music
