Talvekoidik

Finally back home from Forms Of Hands. A bit happy and a bit sentimental and very exhausted. Time passed by so quickly and right now it seems like it have been just a beautiful dream.

The venue is amazing. I learned that the stage stands above a whole that leads 1006 meters into the soil. It’s kind of a weird feeling tho. The bands were amazing. Such a strong lineup – impossible to pick one as best.

Thanks to all of you who spent the time in front of the stage for the warm welcome before and the touching moments after my show. The spirit was great and I was overwhelmed sometimes even stunned by the vibe you made me feel. Thanks lots and lots to the guests, to the Laborneun- crew, to HANDS for this amazing happening and thanx to Yura Yura for being so kind and keeping me on the move. ;)

 Your next chance to see Talvekoidik live on stage will be on 2013′s edition of the Forms Of Hands – festival, taking place from the 26th to 27th of April 2013 in Böhnen near Dortmund/Germany.

The location is the acoustically very interesting Förderturm of the former mine Königsborn III/IV Bönen / Ruhr area / Germany.

Check the Forms Of Hands Website for detailled information such as timetable and accomodation. Its a great honour to be a part of the line up among all the other great acts who gonna play there and I truly hope to see you there as well.

Well well well – what do I do in the gap between “have just finished an album” and “what’s Talvekoidik’s next strike?”?
Right, I do remixes for others. Not too long ago I didn’t liked to do such things but meanwhile I found out that doing Remixes helps me a bit to define for me what Talvekoidik sound exactly is. Furthermore its fun to interpret other artists work in my own language.

First remix I ever did was for Thermidor, a Lisbon/Portugal – based project.

A while ago I remixed the track named ‘Lucid Dream’ by Alteranima, Who is no one less than Elda Di Matteo, who created and played the piano parts of ‘Such A Perfect Day’ and ‘The Cliff’ from my album ‘Silent Reflections’. Her album hopefully will be released soon. – I keep you informed.

A couple of days ago I finished the arrangement for a remix for Brazda Lui Novac, a Romanian IDM/Electronica – artist. If you are keen in IDM or similar electronic sound you definitely should check out his work. its breathtaking. Hopefully his latest work will be released soon as well.

And I am going to start to remix a new track of Framework, some of the usual suspects of the electronic music scene in the dirty old port named Rostock – my former hometown. I am sure that will be fun!

Late-summer – time to think back what happened so far.

The concert at Elektroanschlag 13 final edition was a great moment for me – back on stage – with friends – a warm welcome back. Thanx to anyone who have been part of it.

EA 13 stage setup – very minimal but it worked out fine.

The last album Negotiate The Distance got some nice reviews lately and I am really glad that people seem to like it. I added some review excerpts beneath the album description. If it is interesting to you, click the respective link in the menu above.

I also added an new interview. Its in german only – sorry

The Summer Darkness Festival in Utrecht invited me to play a show – what I did of course . It was great and it felt good, even if it was the first show on a sunday.

I want to use the chance to say thank you to anybody who got up and came to the show so early. I know you all have been out to party all night long hence I appreciate even more the effort it might have taken to see me on stage.

As soon as I find a good plug in that fits this page better, I gonna add some pictures.

If you have some suggestions or you are a promoter and want me to play a show or you can help me to find a place where I can buy a playable Guzheng for little money or you love or dislike my music feel free to contact me using the email-icon in the sidebar ->

After a long period of time I am proud to be able to announce, that my new album “Negotiate The Distance” will be released in April 2012 on HANDS. Under the button in the menu above you will find al information and press reviews – well as soon as there are some in the near future . I want to say thank you to all of those who are involved and who inspired me, encouraged me and kept me going. I learned a lot while writing the tracks and had some very nice moments while doing it. So thanks a lot specially goes to YOU!
