Back in Berlin, relaxed and ready for new stuff!

admin — Mon, 11 May 2009 15:57:26 +0000

We are all back in Berlin and Leipzig from the last station of our instant composing tour through southeast europe in Russe, Bulgaria. We enjoyed some more days there and had even a day off (=freetime) after the fantastic concert in Russe. We never had such a mixed audience, where you could see over 50-years olds and teenagers.

All in all the composition tour was a very unique and marvellous experiece for all members. There will be a documentationd DVD directed by Hagen Wiel. The next steps are: Presentations concert in autumn 2009, recording session for DVD in Summer. For more personal views see i.e Stephane Leonards blog.

forth (Timisoara) and fifth (Sibiu) stations in romania passed

admin — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 15:46:37 +0000

Endliche Automaten finally had some time today to update this blog. We succesfully played in Timisoara (23th) at the preview event of Simultan Festival for Media Art and Music in Romania. Timisoara is a beautiful romanian city near the border to hungary. It has very nice Art Nouveau buildings in its core city. Unfortunately our tourbus had some problems starting the engine after the concert. After a hard night our driver called Renault Services, who needed one hour to figure out, what the problem was. The next morning we could head off to Sibiu a city 450km away from Timisoara. It took almost half a day to get there, because Romania has no highways and therefore the streets are very crowded. We saw a truck from Turkey inbetween. Then around 1800 we arrived in Sibiu and the concert started at 1930. The promotion in Sibiu was very professional and even the national TV was there. Yesterday (25th) we had forst contact with the romanian composer yvat. Today everybody is enjoying the first freetime. Tomorrow we will heading to Ruse (Bulgaria).

third station osijek (croatia)

Today 19th, after two days of concentrated rehearsals and instant composing with Kristof Weber in Pecs (Hungary), we arrived in Osijek a croatian city near the border to hungary. Osijek is a 120000 people big city at the river Drava. Our hostel, which acutally looks like a hotel is in an area, which is called Tvrđa an old stronghold. We ate together with our local manager Bettina and the two croatian composers; we also checked the venue, which is a huge old brickstone storehouse. Tomorrow is the concert!

second station: Pécs

admin — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 08:54:32 +0000

We are now in Pécs a very picturesque city with beautiful people and played yesterday in a concert hall called “House of Artists”. We played “Discordia, One River’s Story, Smoke). The applause was great and we played “Ursonate” as a encore and the applause was again great. But after the concert the people all disappeared… First contact with the local composer Kristof Weber is established. Weber is a classical trained composer so the needs are different to Prof. Neutrino our czech composer. Today the rehearsals for the new piece are beginning!
