DIETMAR DIESNER "SOLO" (AMIGA, 1988)

 

This is one of the rare appearances of Dietmar Diesner on LP/CD. He's not very eager to do recordings at all and his opinion is that (freely) improvised music is better appreciated in a live setting (... he might have a point ...). And the last of his few recordings he seemingly made approximately 1997/98 - and that's it. 

... who weren't at the location when the music happened ....


Dietmar Diesner, all instruments, etc.


1. Permanence 8805032224 (21:15)
alto saxophone, electronics

2. Verweigerung des Unplötzlichen (10:06)
soprano saxophone, Marmor (marble), Stahltür (steel-door), ein blauer Eimer (blue bucket)

3. Rondo 4A (5:56)
alto saxophone, electronics

4. Entzeitigung (5:36)
alto saxophone, electronics, feedback-effects


Recorded May 3 to 5, 1988 at AMIGA-Studio, Berlin

AMIGA 8 56 377
(vinyl rip)


BTW: "Verweigerung des Unplötzlichen" means something like "refusal of the un-sudden". And "Entzeitigung" means that something (or everything) is 'removed' from the influence of time on all (or some) things existing.

....Free form

Anything else goes here. Observations on the general state of the universe and its overall direction are particularly welcome, but also on more mundane matters as you may see fit.

....Contributions

Anything our readers and followers would like to contribute goes here. That may include recommendations, reviews, recordings, you name it.

The earlier contributions thread was unfortunately deleted, but we have managed to recover about three years of the last five years of posts. The recovered posts have now been moved to separate posts in the new thread. All links to files are working at the time of writing. If there is anybody out there who has found that their contributions are missing, feel free to repost them or if anybody has downloaded files when they were still available, the same thing applies.  Of course, we welcome any new contributions from our followers, anything that we and you should know about.

....Requests

Requests, broken links, re-ups and related topics go here. It may be easier for admins to be attentive to these topics if they are put here and not under the individual posts. There's no guarantee that we may be able to respond to everything, but we'll give it a try.

I've deleted the previous 'Requests' post as it was becoming a bit unwieldy.
I shall start the requests with the last one from the previous thread.
