ahornfelder (germany) #ah 06 book

frank schultge blumm “drawings” book

drawings (40 pages)

ahornfelder press release...

fs blumm – drawings

catalogue number: ah06
release date: 23.10.2006

“drawings” is a book with 40 pages and 17 double-sided works. it is printed with brilliant offsettechnique on matt high-quality paper. it has the size of a 7" vinyl (~18*18cm) when it's closed.

frank schültge is well known for his musical work under his pseudonym fs blumm. he has released critically acclaimed albums on labels in germany, usa, japan and managed to create a very unique form of experimental, yet melodic mostly guitar-based composition. these structures between patterns and harmonics can be found in his drawings too and therefore complement his audio work in an interesting way. the pictures are abstract, minimal and with an impressive feel for achieving a complex, aesthetic work with simple means.

frank schültge blumm was born in bremen 1968 and lives in berlin. he is freelancing as an author and producer of radio-plays (rebresch blumm) and musician, composer (fs blumm, kinn, sack & blumm). “drawings” is his first solo-release for the eye, containing a »best of the last 8 years«, composed, revised and reworked between 1998 and 2006 (berlin). there are several exhibitions scheduled for the second half of 2006.

“the german word 'lichten' means not only 'lighten' but also to clear, to thin, to weigh, to lift... for this album i wanted to do less: to use less words and say more, to use less sounds and use only the voices which are really needed, the ones which have a meaning, which have soul. clarity and simplicity. compact and compressed, to be more direct and get to the point of having said everything earlier, that i wanted to say, without any distractions or decorations, without sound-design-babbling. still, i think, that my music can be at the same time 'musique d´ameublement' and 'attentive-listening'. 'lighten' (in the sense of 'to weigh' is also an answer to the title of my last album 'ankern' (to anchor'), which includes another private reference: last year i dropped an anchor in italy, i lived there for half a year,then things didn't work out and problems were faced ('lightened') and now i'm back in berlin, able to go anywhere again, in other words: i'm looking for simplicity, because clarity is simple and clarity is 'the best': all one! clarity is often sad, because it arises when you part with something. when you decide! when you part with a connection to which you committed your heart to: you quit because it became clear, that everything became knotted, became complicated. you cut off the knot and everything gets light and simple, because everything is clear, clear and beautiful, sad and beautiful. the songs are mainly written on the guitar while staying in the countryside during this long summer in italy not listening to music, not listening to noises. during my life as a musician/guitar-player i mainly used to do noise-rock i'm quiet shure that this is not audible anymore in f.s.blumm-music, but for me there is no sense of making music, if there isn't this pressure, urgency, hunger and need which i used to express by being loud, by screaming. i'm not screaming anymore but i hope that i always kept this tension, that this urgency is still audible. so, i think that quiet-careful-shy-sensitive-music must not be equal to low tension, must not be flabby.” longing to explain something you can't explain and go on trying to explain it forever” - f.s.blumm (august 2003)

frank schültge "blumm" was born in 1968 in bremen and lives in berlin now where he is working as a musician and a producer for radioplays. he has previously released albums with cologne's staubgold, tomlab, and berlin's morr music and with lichten presents his first stateside release. besides his contributions to the sack & blumm project (together with harald "sack" ziegler) he is involved in the production of radioplays with rininat rebresch ("rebresch & blumm") and with an instrumental chamber-postrock trio from berlin called kinn. though his music often finds a welcome ear with adventurous electronic listeners his songs are spun entirely with live instruments in real-time. the sound is naturalistic and free in a way that often leaves people hard pressed to find modern comparisons.

autumn press release...

in 2002, i moved with my family for half a year to italy, close to the sea to a place in the countryside near genoa. we tried to form a community together with a bunch of italians. we were living in tents and some ancient ruins (there even was a little church on the area, actually the most proper building, which we mainly used for storing wood) we tried to build a strawbale house but it was raining so much in this year that we really almost swam away. our main hobby was getting the truck out of the mud (we invented a lot of amazing techinques like knotting the rope to the back-wheel and then to a tree to use the car as a wind, towing itself) unfortunately, the project failed and in the end we broke up, still it was a very, very nice experience. i never heard so much silence in my life. i never ate so many flowers. on these recordings you hear first of all, the rain, then, after the sun came out, we made tomato sauce (eating was the second main hobby, i mean, we drank wine out of 15 gallon containers and bought tomatoes bucketwise, you know) so on this day, we drove to the mayor's private house to buy his tomatoes. we squashed the tomatoes. we washed bottles to store the tomato sauce. we lit the outside oven and cooked the sauce on it. in the end we had a nice spaghetti tomato sauce for ,well, a few days. we had a chill out hippy session on the porch (you can hear my 2 year old son wenzel asking stefano a mixture of 'come stai?' (how are you?) and 'cosa fai?' (what are you doing?)) the last track are crickets in the night. i think that this recording is especially amazing because it sounds like an electronic noise but it really is (as all the other recordings) a pure field recording with no editing done at all (just recorded from a very close distance) enjoy. (f.s. blumm)

[013] guido möbius "dishoek" lp

guido möbius is a man on the go. out of his berlin officerecordingstudio he operates the autopilot music publishing house and promotes record labels such as sonig, smalltown supersound and klangbad. additionally he runs the small emphase label releasing among other things a 7" series of 1-instrument music and the last album by anne laplantine. and first and foremost he is a musician, now concentrating on his solo work and live appearances with bass player alexej gottschau after playing in various band formations.

two years ago his solo debut "klisten" had the press and music lovers everywhere turn somersaults when hearing this wonderfully whimsical smorgasbord of countless tiny sounds and instruments. all material on "klisten" had been strangely interwoven, laminated and set against each other yet always remaining songs, almost pop. and despite all the complexity and craftiness it never sounded difficult, academic or pompous. one could dive into this music or simply move within it and discover a new plant behind each corner. but one would never be led astray by it. and if you walked the same path a few days later suddenly new buds had grown and someone might have carved a few weird symbols into the trees.

and just before we started to miss guido möbius he surprises us with "dishoek", his second album, recorded for hamburg’s dekorder label. again featuring a conglomeration of acoustic and electrical instruments (guitar, bass, violin, cornet drums, synthesizer, clarinet among other things.) and a variety of guests, so that one hardly dares to call it a solo album. still everything is magically held together by one single person. melodies and noises, styles and individual characteristics, intelligence and humour collide and become friends for live. we hear krautrock minus rock, folk minus tronics, pop minus popular; psychedelia meets improvisation meets electronica without the slightest know-it-all approach. styles get intermingled, copulate and finally dissolve completely to become only music without the need to be labelled because it is functioning completely within its own context and never fails to astonish. the computer remains a tool, never an end in itself and the alleged separation of acoustic and electronic music becomes completely obsolete. with its wily down-to-earth approach "dishoek" proves that an eagerness to experiment and the will to explore unknown territories do not have to sound arduous yet always have the ability to gently surprise any adventurous listener.

staubgold 42 sack und blumm - "kind kind" cd/lp

three years after their phenomenal "shy noon" album on the seminal gefriem label harald "sack" ziegler and frank schültge blumm continue a homerecording series that travels between their postboxes since 1999. sack & blumm are not a band or a studio project, but may be described rather as a homerecording project that was conceived independendly in their bedroom studios in berlin and cologne.

instead of being sequenced on computers, the music lives from the experience of two true musicians. folk themes are set against digital fragmentations. sounds are taken from everywhere. instruments include horn, kalimba, tabla, bass, knitting needles, toy drums and toy piano, melodica, mbira and more. even rod stewart is hidden somewhere on this album.

debut album from sack & blumm! one of my favorite contemporary electronic “bands”, here in their humble beginnings...

tomlab press release...

with their debut on tomlab, sack & blumm continue a homerecording series between their postboxes in cologne and berlin. instrumental music in the best sense, very playfull, relaxed and groovy...

sack&blumm are not a band or a studio project but may be described rather as a homerecording project that was conceived independendly in their bedroom studios in berlin and cologne. the digital multitrackers and the german postal service ferrying their ideas back and forth were definitely playing a major role in the production of the album. tracks were produced in several steps, e.g. frank would record the african finger piano from the first track "seathing" and send a dat to harald in cologne who would then layer the recording with his french horn and send the tape back to berlin.

as frank explains, "sack&blumm knew each other and kept meeting each other on many different stages throughout germany. frank schueltge "blumm" was playing with "dieauch" his band of that time and harald "sack" ziegler was performing as a solo artist. the first collaboration was initiated by bernd spring who is running the dhyana label. blumm wanted to do a release and sack was already expected to do a release for him, so bernd combined the two of them and the result was "die fünfte dengelophonie": not a split- but rather a cooperation-single that was - in contrast to sack's answer on staubgold - influenced more by blumm. a common style and a balanced working process was found with the help of tom and the release on his label."

instead of sequencing work on computers, the music lives from the experience of two musicians. folk themes are set against digital fragmentations, and techno tropes are taken up on acoustic instruments. "sixtease", for instance, takes jungle's two-step and scores it for wash-tub and spoons. most of the instruments on sack&blumm were played live onto the multitrack and the arrangements of the electronic sounds are produced with haralds toy instruments. a pc was used only for the track "pim pom pom" and for the final mastering process that was done by tom steinle.

"sack&blumm like it best to produce their music mechanically/physically in the room, using more or less everything that they can get in their hands. structures arise from our curiosity in the origin and the physicality of sounds (wood, stone, sheet metal, paper, air... ) and from experimenting and playing with the materials (plucking, beating, rubbing, blowing... ). musical instruments are based on these principles of generating sound and musical instruments can be everything and they can be found everywhere. the ones that you find in the toy stores are most of the times very attractive because they carry these very beautiful overtones in their ground noise level or they tend to be totally unpredictable which makes a high potential for surprising results. and not to forget, sack&blumm have both followed classical training before on their instruments horn and guitar. the compositions of sack&blumm are most of the times improvisations to a recorded tape, an opportunity, a reaction and open ears for what is coming out from its own. what we like best in sack&blumm is new mail from each other."

tom says thank you!! some parts of this text were taken from phil sherburnes review for urbansounds and some were contributed by frank schueltge blumm.

cover and cd design by suzueri

in addition to interviews of 12 musicians/1 group residing in berlin (gregor hotz, nicholas bussmann, merle bennett, thomas ankersmit, ignaz schick, hans strobl, pure, annette krebs, andrea neumann, caramel empties, alessandro bosetti, boris baltschun, and kai fagaschinski), this "extra" issue of imj features 2 cds with 18 tracks by a total of over 30 musicians, almost all of whom are berlin residents: adeline rosenstein/andrea neumann, annette krebs/steffi weismann, kommando raumschiff zitrone, michael thieke unununium, lucio capece/axel doerner/robin hayward, tunar, alessandro bosetti, tony buck/andrea neumann, sink, marzipan marzipan, kalkuel & leidenschaft, boris hauf, phillip sollman, thomas ankersmit, ignaz schick/jason forrest, burkhard beins, rechenzentrum, and blumm.

the interviews were conducted by toshimaru nakamura during a visit to berlin in january 2005 (with the exception of the email interview of annette krebs by taku sugimoto, which took place between january and april 2006). in addition to discussing their musical activities, the artists share many of their thoughts about the berlin scene. their candid views reveal the dynamism that has characterized that scene since the late '90s. berlin musician nicholas bussmann was in charge of the selection of artists for the accompanying cds, and the result is an ideal compilation for those who want to know more about today's berlin scene. through the words and music of musicians on the scene, this issue explores the current situation of improvised music (and related genres) in berlin.
