We Are Coming Back With You Know What

Happy New Year To You All....
Here We Are Again...
One Month ago since our last gig with Damo Suzuki & The Whole. In the meantime I had another freaky concert with my neighbourhood collective "Der Berg Groovt" on January the third, also with them, I had a wonderful New Years Eve Session and we build our new Studio and I integrated my equipment there and turned my bedroom into a space lab, in october I started a new job to earn my living and working with kids again. Now It's time to continue with our blog....
At first we will post our last gig with Damo. Here is a download link to some pictures of this magic evening.
2008 was heavy productive and all here is just the top of the Eisberg.
There is a lot of outstanding unreleased material from the last Stolle & Member Sessions.
There was an incredible meeting with MIRG.
A beautiful Steffi & Stolle Session...
... and I listened to some crazy old stuff like Lay De Fear and Astrosound.
So stay tuned and have always an eye on emptyblaukraut....

We Will Be Back Soon

Sometimes the Internet is just a small part in our life and there is no time left to upload our music on this blog. In the meantime Member did a gig with Der Berg Groovt on the "Gathering Of The Tribes" Festival in Frankfurt, while Steffi & Stolle made some very beautiful recordings at Stolles Place in Bruchhausen, then we did a meeting with MIRG for a week at the Akademie Reuschberg to celebrate Steffi's Birthday. After this we doin the job and live our hard lives. We listened to a lot of stuff from our vaults to keep it up here. The next thing we will present to you, it will be a shiny diamond - I promise. Oh and by the way, we re-upped the second part of Stolle & Member - Reuschberg ...
In the next days we play again with Damo Suzuki & The Whole at the Cellarium in Knittlingen on May, 9 and just six days later on May, 15 we doing our next Stolle & Member Gig at the Wort & KlangBildstelle Frankfurt. More Infos on our myspace site.
See you soon....

What is emptyblaukraut?

Emptyblaukraut is just our own label for all the free improvising music projects where Stolle & Member are involved.

Stolle & Member are two guys from different towns - Karlruhe and Frankfurt/m.
We're making free improvised music together since 1993.

Stolle & Member as a duo is our central project, mostly studio performances...

Egomania is members solo project,

while Stolles fine and rare solo works, you find under Stolle ...

The Whole is our Rock Trio, with Christian on drums and sometimes Damo Suzuki (ex-CAN) on vocals, mostly a Live Act...

MIRG is our experimental, electroacoustic quartet with our friends Marcus and Steffi from our great past free Impro Experimental Project Lay De Fear. Mostly intimate music workshops for ourselves.

Lay De Fear was our strongly-telepathic-playing beginning of free impro music. It lasted from 1993 - 1996. The Core of the Band were Stolle, Member and Chris and sometimes up to 10 other people.

Under the name of emptyblaukraut comes the music of all of these projects and some others. We will jump in time and styles and projects.

But the Beginning of it all was a time journey through the music of Stolle & Member on our myspace site and so we started with our old Stolle & Member stuff...

Enjoy
