Die Geschichte der E-Gitarre
Im schnelllebigen Pop ist es mit der Historik noch mal heikler. Die Nachwelt flicht dem Popstar keine Kränze, es kommt einfach der nächste. Wer hört hierzulande noch die Musik Elvis‘ aus den 50ern?
YouTube channel Polyphonic (whose videos I’ve featured before) has taken on an ambitious project: tracing the history of the electric guitar solo from its origins in blues and country music in the American South all the way up to the present day. The series is called Axe To Grind and the first three episodes are available on YouTube (the first two are embedded above). People are sharing their favorite early electric guitar players in the comments of the first video.

Nachtrag zu Halloween-
This video is about the fascinating and fantastic anatomy of spiders by means of a vivid 3D animation of a black widow. It is about the external structure with cephalothorax / prosoma and abdomen, chelicerae, pedipals and about the organs of the spider, such as the book lungs, the tubular heart or the spinning glands and the sucking stomach.

Irgendwie auch eine Parabel.

Mein Happening „Flash Fest“
„Flash Fest“ (2023) for an ensemble of photographers
For the academic year’s opening party of the new music programs, with students
I created a happening piece for selfie-taking musicians. (As a follow-up
of my piano piece „Steady Shot“.)
„Pics or it didn’t happen“ – pics or it wasn’t a happening.
Performing the instagrammatology of artists, trying to capture
musical time, creating a ton of memento moris, a tempest of artificial lightnings
and thunder sound, monitoring the spectators, having with it a festivity.

Das lauteste Katzenschnurren der Welt (54.6 dB)
Bella . . . achieved a purr measuring 54.6 decibels, equivalent to the volume of a boiling kettle.
Her feat was captured by an official adjudicator and an acoustic engineer who blocked out all external noise.
Nicole Spink, Bella’s owner, said she „couldn’t be more thrilled“.
