Notes show us a direction:
in the world – in music – in the music industry
Every note, whether produced by an instrument, the vocal cords or something else, holds many harmonics. They show us a direction, define the tone color and give the acoustic signal a sense of poetry.
Not only notes get their own character and value this way. An encounter between people, every experience, every being also becomes a special imprint through tunes, thoughts and feelings.
It’s these vibrations Giden Kremer's book talks about. It’s about musical reflections, about the power and effects of music. We also read about the things that form the everyday life of an artist. What does the inner and outer world of an artist look like, how does he look at his profession, his craft and not the music industry.
And last but not least we learn about what happens at a rehearsal or a performance, why the artist chooses a certain cadence for a concert, what moves him during applause, how he copes with the loneliness and how he deals with the downside of success.
They are bright and light observations, that invade your subconscious but often they’re, with a dignified irony which colors the event: harmonics!
Kathrin Röggla is a kind of speed artist in literary style. Again and again she manages to give the vigor of thoughts raging in popular lingo a surprising, genuinely poetic twists and turns that could not have emerged from anywhere but this chatter.
Stephan Wackwitz, Die Zeit
\\\"doch sind wir nicht die erbsengeneration, die erbsengeneration ohne zweifel, so sagen sie doch alle immer, die erbsengeneration und nichts anderes, ansonsten wird ja dichtgemacht rundum, man kann das sehen, man kann das hören, nur die eltern sind steinreich und wissen noch am rädchen zu drehen, während den jungen nichts übrigbleibt, als des weges zu kollern.\\\"
Abrauschen - das bedeutet ein Fluchtmoment. Doch ist wirklich noch ein Entkommen möglich aus Berlin-Neukölln, erwischt einen die Vergangenheit immer kalt im Rücken, oder wie entkommt man ihr in einer Welt, die nicht nur kopfsteht, sondern auch rückwärts geht? Mit der Wiederholung der Gegenwart? Und wie zum Teufel ist aus einer Wohnung Geld rauszuschlagen?
