My comments to the third seed:

This is a much more experimental seed than the first (and second), if I hadn't seeded the first as jazz, I might have put this under avantgarde... but still, there's plenty of interest in the music, I hope!

The first band is a young experimental trio. They often have guests, but this was the first time, I think, that they had someone coming from "serious" music (E-Musik, as the darnded germans call it... fegh that differentiation between E and U!). Anyway, this is a sounds-based project, beats and bells and whirrs and birdcalls...

The second band is a pretty earthy one, in comparison... noise, rock, psychedelic influences melded together, originally in songs, by now in free improvs which incorporate elements of these songs. Both Flo Stoffner and Flo Götte are familiar from joerg and my own Harald Haerter seeds. Here they invited cellist/electronician Martin Schütz (part of the hardcore chambermusic trio Koch-Schütz-Studer).

I hope you'll enjoy!

I do ; now listening to the Crispell-Guy-Lytton set. Track 2 starts very nicely. I like the delicate piano playing on this one.

Both sets are excellent ; fascinating Das kapital

Thanks UBU

Glad to hear you're enjoying the listen, Sir!

Sclavis is the highlight for me - I was in the audience there and enjoyed the hell out of it!

I listened to the most part of Sclavis ; the "meditative" or introspective pieces I enjoyed the most. Sometimes on the uptempo moments the keys and guitar add a "jazz rock" sound which is not my cup of tea. But it's a great concert indeed. Looking forward to the rets of it, and to Taktlos part 3 :o)

I enjoyed Superterz & Marianne Schröder very much.
Was a bit distracted while the Homberger-Demierre-Schütz-Lovens set started, I'll get back to it soon.

Thanks for this very good documentation of Taktlos 2007 !
