On the second day of Namlook,
Pete gave to thee
The Dutch Side of the Milky Way
& an astrogator in a pear tree.
The Dutch Side of the Milky Way Parts I - IX
Recorded & composed live at Melkweg, Amsterdam on October 31st, 1993 from 1.55 am to 3.09 am.
Pete sez:
"The sound of this CD is dedicated to the room and the sound system at the Melkweg. Don't be shocked if you are not able to hear the low-end frequencies of the bassline and drumming.
An important reason for the very low frequencies was my intention to let the audience feel the music instead of pure listening. To listen to this low frequency in your environment you need enough range for 20-45 Hz."

De Melkweg (The Milky Way) located very near Leidsplein. Fond memories. On 30th of april the Dutch celebrated Queen's Day with lots of people going out, having a giant fleamarket in every town and village. Concerts everywhere and a million people out and about in Amsterdam, and it seemed that day everybody was at this Leidseplein. Our band had to play at the Melkweg and I had the honour of driving the van through the crowd to get at the concert hall entrance. Driving a white van straight into the tightest crowd in the heart of Amsterdam. Windows down, shouting merry and joy and feeling like Moses through the Red Sea. Not a person hurt, not a scratch on the car. Epic.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the anecdote. Sounds like a great day.
DeleteMany Thanks! This is a series that I haven't heard yet, looking forward to doing so!

Just a kool lead-up to the Holly daze.
DeleteThank you! After Kuhlmann had died, I had the opportunity to examine his estate in the remote house in the Hunsrück where he had previously lived. Maybe I had false expectations about the home of such a highly accomplished producer of electronic music. No Moog Modular wall or Roland machine park at all. The atmosphere and the overall backwoods quality of the place shocked a little but it was cozy. His record collection was a bit disappointing, which of course is no surprise — he was primarily a creative artist, not a collector nerd. Perhaps all the really great stuff was already gone and I was only allowed to look at what was left over. R.I.P.
ReplyDeleteWe all might be suprised to see the humble abodes & private worlds of some of out idols. I believe many might prove to be just regular folk at heart & that we really adore is their creativity. Thanks for the comment.
