Erdenreich
Tai Chi Tu
The theatre, film and avant-garde musician UDO ERDENREICH (founding member of ZIGURI and musical director of TURA YA MOYA) takes us by the hand and leads us deep into his jewel palace filled with the most amazing musical delights. Unpublished recordings from three decades are finally being made available to the general public. * TaiChiTu - retrospect one * is the name of his first work, which now appears on SIREENA RECORDS. The title is a humorous and winking track about the so-called esoteric, world savior and miracle healer. Incidentally, humor has always played a major role in Erdenreich's work. "Without humor, nothing works and actually I'm a punk rocker", he says. In the tradition of Karl Valentin, Antonin Artaud, Herbert Achternbusch and the Dadaists, the artist, born in Neuburg / Donau and living in Berlin since the early 80s, lets us participate in his exuberant and intelligently oblique musical cosmos. We dive into pieces like "Affenhaus" which he recorded with his first band SPERRFEUER and in which he asks us the legitimate question about our stage of development and holds the primates mirror to humans. Then it goes to his project "THE PASSENGERS IN THE MIDDLE OF LIFE" With "Fieberspital", where the expected death not overtake the fever sick but the priest during his last rites. ERDENREICH plays with surprises and stylistic devices. Pieces like "Bundeslied" and "Kang Rinpoche"or "Ich habe gestern" and "Gesnge" are as far apart as if they were born in different parallel universes. But they all come from the universe of UDO ERDENREICH and we follow and understand it.
