Yeah, it was a very cool festival, we´ve recorded over 30 hours of music and will remix them to single tracks in the next days.

In fact there are three creamware users on this pic

Here is a first 5min snippet out of 30hours of music.

Data In Motion

Great Live improvisation again. I never thought that 30 people can produce this kind of music together.

Thanks to all who were involved in this and made it a great festival.

Our second festival takes place on Sept.21 - Sept.23 this year, again in Munich.
Maybe this announce is early enough for some of you to join in?

At the same time (Sept.22) the Oktoberfest is starting in Munich too, few minutes away from our location. So if you want to spend some days in Munich, visiting the Oktoberfest and make some live ambient improvisational music...
We have up to 20 beds for the musicans by a voluntarily charge at the festival location.

Germany sounds like so much fun.

I wish to re visit there sometime, as I was in Johnny Cougars opening act in '80 there, and had no time after our gigs. Back then Reagan was President, and it seemed like I was in Nevada !! There were Country Western Bars, and many Germans wearing Stetsons ( Cowboy Hats ). I doubt that it's still the same sentiment now.

So many festivals, so many funloving people. I was the accordianist in several German festivals as a kid in St.Louis. Badenfest, Straussenfest, Maifest ( Herman, Missouri ) Oktoberfest, I think that was it.

You guys would die if you saw a picture of me when I was 5. All you could see was my face, my feet, and the Accordian, and of course my Leiderhosen and hat.

Now I could strap on a hardware Solaris and really have some fun.

Germans like the old C&W style

Karl May (+1912) created Old Shatterhand and Winnetou without ever having been in the States.
He -the writer- even got in jail for that fact

There's a huge parallel C&W living style during weekends and holydays, including clothes, weapens and wigwams

see f.i.

No problem for Germans to let even Zorro meet Appachen Indians:

(sorry Chris for OT, yet there's a lot of ambience in Karl May's books

).
