Ax Genrich & The Whole - Live Im Dreikönigskeller 23.1.2011

This is a recording of our gig with former Guru Guru - guitarist Ax Genrich. Having not played together for almost two years, and having never met Ax before, we just jumped the stage and into the cold water. The gig turned out to be fantastic. Ax is a very sweet and descent person, we connected immediately and played like we were old friends. We are looking forward to repeat this experience in autumn.

Grab the Gig here.

The first part of the gig was a 30-minute solo-performance by ax, a video of which you can find here.







enjoy!

The Mirror Shows

Hello Everybody,
greetings from Stolle & Member! Having just done the gig with Ax Genrich, which was just fantastic (and we hope to post it soon right here), we got a little special thing for you in store in the meantime. While we were thinking of the good old times and our beloved pals we had the pleasure to make music with, we spontaneously recorded this tribute to Botany Bay, Stolle's UBIK paint-colleague Stephan Kleinert. We konw we couldn't do him justice, of course, but we did it with love. Here's to you, Stephan, and for everybody else to enjoy,



luv, stolllllle & member

Astrosound - Welcome Back In Space 2010

We did it! ASTROSOUND Reunion!
Space, you know, Space Space Space ... remember...
For the first time we met and played together in the original Astrosound formation - Thomas - space guitar & space vocals, Heiko - space elctronics, space guitar & space vocals & Member - space electronics, space bass & space vocals... and what did we do together? Yeah, right we make space music... Space Space Space Sound, it's Astrosound.
It was like nothing had happened in the least twelve years. There was this big and neverending spaced out soundworm, that threw you out of the window into the farest galaxy there no man has been before. A Cosmic Journey through time and space. Cosmic Music like it was, is and will be...

This is our first rehearsal, we will do some more and then we will make some concerts, time will tell.

So jump into the newest chapter of Astrosound and capture this cosmic journey in two parts.

Here It Is:

Part 1

Part 2

ENJOY!!!

Stolle & Member - P.U.P. (Permanent Update Process) Edition #1

Dear listeners, today we start a series of brandnew Stolle & Member recordings. We will beginn slowly and it will take its time until you will hear its full scale.
During our recent sessions, we decided to push our musicmaking to a new level, and so we invented Permanent Update Process (P.U.P.), a new way of recording, editing and releasing music. We thought that it is high time to let some innovation into this, after all we consider us avantgarde,hehe. So after you have a look at our very trashy youtube video, you can listen to these first mp3 recordings, that we made by the way. This is some outtake material, first takes, basic tracks - untouched mp3 Quality. We also did an album's worth of multitrack stuff, which we intend to release in the future, while the process of editing and mixing is still going on.

Have fun & enjoy



Luv

Stolle & Member - Coming Sensations 2010

Heimchensommer - Our Work Is Still in Progress

We are still here and we preparing for new Stolle & Member Recordings in the next week.
Meanwhile I start my new recording tool again today, a Zoom R16 Recorder and made a Egomania Track. It's a freaky folky trash affair... I made music with some "Heimchen", a sort of cricket.
I played acoustic guitars, tambura, accordion and diarmonica, while the "Heimchen" quirk and some obscure short movies of David Lynch played in the backround.

I dedicated this song to Katja.

Enjoy
