Schädlinge – But then
Do the guitars wrap you up in coziness or does the nerdy chat on pop culture with a slight disregard for Apple or East-European Geography intrigue you? Where exactly do these wraiths come from and why did they bring their medieval instruments? And that nonsense talk or this ode to household choires with a slight resonance of the housekeeper’s resignation?
Duo “Schaedlinge”, located in Berlin, using ingredients like everyday sounds, guitars interacting with birds, sounds with the natural reverb provided by a radar dome of an abandoned NSA espionage facility, create beautiful little pieces of narrative music. Those are tales reflecting the sound outside and the music within.
Record Release “Still Lifes”
“Das Einbeziehen der Utopie als Möglichkeit im freien Fluss der improvisatorischen Kreativität erfordert Hingabe und Passion. Still Lifes ist ein Zeugnis gerade dieser Hingabe und Passion. Ganz unerwartet öffnen sich TĂĽren in unbekannte Mikrokosmen von glänzender Schönheit. In ihrer Offenheit schwingen Marc Torbohm’s Kompositionen im Zuhörer ĂĽber ihr Ende hinaus weiter und lassen uns wĂĽnschen diesen Spaziergang durch kristalline Gärten auf fremden Monden noch etwas fortzusetzen.”
Johannes Repka, Berlin den 31.08.2012
Die 15 StĂĽcke fĂĽr akustische Sologitarre meines neuen Albums “Still Lifes” malen Bilder verschiedenster Klangfarben in das Ohr des Zuhörers, wobei die Grenzen von Komposition und Improvisation verwischen und die stilistischen Zutaten aus Jazz, moderner Klassik, Folk bis hin zu Zufalls- und 12-Tonkompositionen in eine innige Beziehung treten.
My latest release “Still Lifes” contains 15 pieces for acoustic solo guitar painting pictures of widely different timbres into listener`s ears, obliterating borders between composition and improvisation, creating an intimate synthesis from different musical styles like jazz, modern classical music, folk up to aleatoric and dodecaphonic elements.

John Dowland/ A Fancy (P5)
One of John Dowland`s most beautiful pieces: A Fancy (P5), I transcribed it for Acoustic guitar; playable with all the polyphonics, but sometimes difficult to finger;)
I added it to a slideshow of some promisingly existentialistic scenes.
Asbest@Teufelsberg by Schädlinge
The second movement of the Teufelsberg Suite, using
sounds with the natural reverb provided by a radar dome of a
now abandoned espionage facility in Berlin built by American
Intelligence to intercept Moscow’s and East-Berlin’s communication during the cold war.
The place has been subject to severe vandalism with asbestos oozing out of the walls here and there.
But this piece is perfectly safe for your lungs.

Music: tabernakel by mephuser.
