Thoughts during the breaks
Haven’t heard this one since a while, but yesterday I used it in a comment on the ‘loops (on a track of ‘jussef63’ who is one of the best bass players we have there). This is a cover, but featuring Kate Davis who is an awesome player and singer. Listen if you don’t know it yet:
If I could play an upright like her I’d be happy 🙂
Thanks for viewing.
Letzte Woche Mittwoch und Donnerstag wurden in 3Sat zwei ‘Eberhofer’ Krimis gezeigt – das sagte mir erstmal nix, aber da Mitchie Krimis mag und die Filme ab 12 sind dachte ich am Donnerstag, man könne ja mal reingucken.
Haben wir gelacht! Und gleich den verpaĂźten Film vom Vortag in der Mediathek gesehen, einer ist auch jetzt gerade noch in der ARD-Mediatek verfĂĽgbar…
Zuleikha und ich haben dann später auch noch den 3. von bisher insgesamt 6 Filmen (und 10 BĂĽchern) in der Mediathek des Schweizer Fernsehens gesehen, nacheinander und auf einem Mobiltelefon mit der ‘Zapp’ App aus dem F-Droid Appstore (unbedingt mal danach suchen, das lohnt!).
Also – wer der Eberhofer Franz und sein bester Freund Birkenberger Rudi eigentlich sind, worum’s geht und was es mit all den komischen Speisen der Oma oder dem Kraut vom Papa so auf sich hat erfahrt Ihr am besten auf der Webseite der Autorin:
Der neueste Film kommt am nächsten Donnerstag, den 1. August in die Kinos, zum Beispiel in GroĂź-Gerau. Den werden wir uns in der Woche danach auch ansehen – um aber erst einmal die anderen Folgen alle zu sehen hab ich eben die ‘Kruzi FĂĽnferl Box’ bestellt:
Und weil’s hier 5 DVDs fĂĽr 23 Euro gibt und man dafĂĽr beim größten Versender auch noch Porto bezahlen mĂĽĂźte (weil unter 30 Euro), hab ich noch ein Buch mit drauf gelegt:
Bin ja seit einiger Zeit auch Murakami-Fan. Der ist zwar weniger lustig, aber mindestens genauso Kult wie der Eberhofer Franz.
Wird alles am Samstag kommen; cool!
Und wie immer danke fĂĽr’s Lesen.
This is sooo good:
Gracias a todos – and thanks to you for watching / listening 🙂
Just saw this, and it’s amazing. Learned a lot.
How cool…
Finished, it, finally. Here is the complete playlist in the right order.
So thanks to everyone:
It was great fun. Hope to see and hear you all again soon! 🙂
Here are three more tracks from the concert of last Sunday:
Enjoy, and thanks for watching & listening.
Nachdem ich gestern bereits ein Video der Alumni Big Band zusammen mit “den Sängerinnen” hochgeladen hatte folgt nun die erste Hälfte des Konzerts von Sonntag en bloc. Das Programm und die Titel sind:
Die zweite Hälfte – also alles was nach dem bereits gezeigten “Adios Axelito” gespielt wurde – werde ich in einzelne StĂĽcke aufteilen.
Wie immer vielen Dank fĂĽr’s Lesen, Zusehen, Zuhören usw.
As I wrote during the last days already, I’ve had the pleasure and the honour to be invited to document a three day rehearsal plus one day of concert of different bands and classes of Zuleikha’s high school, so from last Thursday to Sunday I went to Landesmusikakademie Hessen with them.
I took photos and videos using three cameras plus a portable 4 track audio recorder, and collected some 100GB of data – all of which now has to be edited, cut, and so on. And starting from today these photos and videos are to be presented to the participants and of course to their parents and families.
Here’s a first one – a song by German composer / arranger /conductor / band leader Kurt Klose, called “Adios Axelito”:
My videos and photos aren’t perfect – but what is? I hope you’ll see that we all have had some fun during last week. And now we have something nice to remember 🙂
You can hear these artists again today at their (former, for some) school. Entrance is free.
Thanks for reading / watching / listening.
While sitting on a bench in front of Hallenburg Castle one evening last week, one of the teachers mentioned Alba Armengou singing “When you’re smiling” – which made me smile as well. The song is very famous, and was sung by many famous artists like Billie Holiday, but Alba, wow, that’s another story.
On his DVD documentation “A film about kids and music”, director Ramon Tort wrote the following:
In 2009, I was filming a live concert by the Sant Andreu Band for a DVD recording. The concert was at the Palau de la Música, in Barcelona, which was packed and had been sold out. When Alba Armengou, who was then 7 years old, finished the final phrase of the chorus When you’re smiling and began playing the trumpet, the Palau stood in awe, the whispers became an ovation and I, with tears in my eyes, stopped filming… at that moment I understood the need to begin this journey… the magical connection of these children with the audience, everything they give, they convey, encourage us to see and find out more in order to try and answer the questions raised when one faces something so mesmerizing.
You can read more about his great film here, and buy it here. Really, you should. It’s that good.
And the DVD ends with that title, featuring the 7 year old Alba. Like “our” teacher Mrs. Nägler said: “too cute!”
I’m so glad that I had a few days with the PDS students and teachers…
More about that later. For now, as always, thanks for reading, watching, and listening.
Related to our latest song, here’s one from the original movement:
Thanks for watching.
