Traurige Nachricht

Mich erreichte heute die folgende traurige Nachricht des schallwende e.V., deren Mitglied ich übrigens bin (und ihr auch werden solltet!):

Guten Abend, äh, guten Morgen, liebe Mit-schallwenderInnen!

Nun ist es wohl soweit - der Abschied naht …
19. Juni 2007, 21:04 Uhr: “letzte Sendung vom TraumKlang Radio on Air”

Die Novelle des Landesmediengesetzes wurde am 25.05.07 verabschiedet.
Der Bürgerfunk in NRW steht damit de facto vor dem Aus. Damit hat sich die Landesregierung nicht nur gegen die Meinungen einer Vielzahl von Experten gestellt.

Auch eine Liste mit Unterschriften von 16.000 BürgerInnen wurde von der christliberalen Koalition schlichtweg ignoriert.

Da die genauen Details der Gesetzes-Umsetzung noch nicht feststehen, besteht eventuell noch eine Möglichkeit für allerletzte TraumKlang-Termine im Juli.
Momentan sieht es aber eher danach aus, dass Sendung 389 am 19. Juni - nach mehr als 12 Jahren - die letzte ist.

Die neuen gesetzlichen Forderungen nach einem klaren Lokalbezug kann und will TraumKlang nicht immer erfüllen. Ich habe zwar oft und liebend gerne besonders Musiker und Veranstaltungen aus der Region vorgestellt. Aber im Focus stand schon “EM aus aller Welt”.
Wenn uns nun aber via Gesetz verboten wird, über den lokalen Tellerrand hinauszuschauen, ist das Konzept vom TraumKlangRadio tot.

Und dieses gesetzlich verordnete Provinzdenken kommt nun ausgerechnet von CDU und FDP, jenen Parteien, die ansonsten in höchsten Tönen die “Chancen der Globalisierung” preisen.

Der Bürgerfunk war jahrelang ein wertvolles und lebendiges Kommunikationsmittel für die Bürger in diesem Land. Unzählige Menschen haben so im Laufe der Jahre die Möglichkeit genutzt, ihre Themen, Meinungen und Probleme in der Öffentlichkeit darzustellen.

Bürgerfunk ist gelebte Demokratie und mit ihm stirbt ein Stück Meinungsfreiheit.

Die faktische Zerschlagung des Bürgerfunks in Nordrhein-Westfalen durch die CDU/FDP-Koalition ist ein Akt kultureller Barbarei.

Es ist der Versuch, die Stimmen der Bürger zum Verstummen zu bringen. Aber noch hat jeder Bürger eine Stimme, die er hoffentlich spätestens dann wieder verwendet, wenn es darum geht, das Verhalten der Politiker entsprechend zu sanktionieren…

TraumKlang dankt allen Hörern für die jahrelange Treue sowie den Musikern und Labels für die Zusammenarbeit und ganz besonders der Volkshochschule Bochum - a Persona VOLKER KRAWCZAK - mein Genius-Tecnicus -, ohne die es diese Sendung nie gegeben hätte.

Auch in der - augenscheinlich - letzten Ausgabe präsentiere ich noch einmal EM-Neuerscheinungen und stelle euch auch noch ein letztes Mal einen wirklich
hörens- und beachtenswerten “Neuling” vor - THORSTEN NIESTRATH aus Gütersloh. Eigentlich ist Thorsten kein wirklicher Neuling mehr, aber er stieg erst vor etwa 3/4 Jahr - wie einst Phönix aus der Asche - in unsere kleine, aber feine EM-Szene ein. Und seine Musik ist so gut, dass sie nicht ungehört bleiben darf.
Drum: Tune on your radio at 98.5.MHZ (Bereich Bochum, Wattenscheid und das mittlere Ruhrgebiet) oder auf 99.4. im Bochumer Kabelnetz, oder aber auch weltweit im Netz unter: www.radio985.de

Vielleicht als kleiner Trost: Bis es zum endgültigen AUS kommt, gibt´s im Juni aber noch 3 X TraumKlang!

Dienstag 05.06., Dienstag, 12.06, und Di. 19.06. jeweils ab 21.04 Uhr - nach den Nachrichten!

Hier als besonderer Service vorab schon mal die Playlists:

TraumKlang 387
Dienstag, 05.06. 21:04 Uhr:

1. BACK TO THE MOON: MESSAGE FROM AN ALIEN 2. ERIK SEIFERT: DURCH RAUM UND ZEIT 3. MOONBOOTER: NOT REAL 4. MOONBOOTER: MELLOWMAN 5. EL-KA: The ENCORE 6. LIONS DREAMS: FUNNY BALLS 7. NATTEFROST: INTERGALACTIC JOURNEY 8. NATTEFROST: A DIFFERENT VIEW ON JUPITER

Ingo Vogelmann - Sky is no limit

Ingo - born an raised in the early 70’s in Germany’s famous Ruhr Area was introduced into making music by his brother in the early age of seven, inspired by the progressive Rock and first-step electronic music of this time. Thereby he got in touch with several instruments but he was mostly fascinated by playing the drums, which he was than classical educated in.

After unavoidably having had his first appereances as a musician in several bands, Ingo experienced a very momentous encounter with the world of electronic music - he got to know of the possibilities of one of the early 80’s drum machines. Concluding to the way drum patterns were programmed Ingo developed his own way of composing by just sketching the notes of rhythmic patterns on paper. Ingo’s driven many people crazy with drumming on everything that makes sound …

In the following years he easily became more and more familar with the way in which professional electronic studio production works. In 1993 his first dance music production found its successful way into the clubs. With his feeling for rhythm and knowledge about how music floats and works on people, he also turned out to be a talented DJ. He has put the needle on vinyl in some of Europe’s famous clubs, always driving the crowd crazy with strong and deep sets. Nowadays Ingo spins regularly on the biggest radio stations worldwide with his own shows like “LIGHTWORKS” - an 8 hour DJ show in the mix on friskyRadio.com, every second friday of the month. Plus, he still serves international clubs with his breathtaking epically long sets as a demanded Progressive House, Tech-House, Deep House or even Ambient/Chillout DJ.

Ingo has established himself as one of the most influential figures in the field of progressive dance music over the last 5 years as both a DJ, and a producer. In his latest gigs, he is blurring the line between DJing and live performance engineering by utilizing two external FireWire audio cards, a laptop sporting Mixmeister® software, enabling for a more full-featured club experience more akin to a concert than a standard night out at a dance club. On-the-fly remixes and compositions are just some of the capabilities of this new performance method.

Although he was really into the nightlife, Ingo was always aware that he needs to seriously build up an existance which make allowance for his multitude of talents. He established himself by starting his own media agency business whilst continuing to be a demanded music producer and composer.

For over 4 years Ingo worked as a multimedia designer and produced on many top selling albums and singles. Having ‘learnt’ about the business side of the dance music industry over those 4 years, he decided to withdraw himself to a beautiful small spot on the island of Mallorca. From there he could live his love of production and be constantly inspired by the beauty of the mediterranean island. After giving birth to his debut artist album of late 2003, in 2004 he returned back to germany to fulfill things yet to be done … his love for music led him to initialise the german association - SAVEMUSIC, which works hard these days to save the art of making music and its artists. Ingo was the president of SAVEMUSIC, now he’s an honourary member and still an active consultant.

One of his strongest influences was, and still is, Marc Mitchell, particularly his remix album “Tales from the engine room”, as well as BT, and Sasha but also all the early pioneers in electronic music like Jarre and Vangelis. There’s not only mention of genius’ Marc Mitchell or Markus Reuter as mentors, but as close friends now.

With his extensive background and experience in music it seemed only logical for Ingo to take on multiple musical projects. Nowadays Ingo works together with producers and musicians from all over the globe, songwriters, vocalists, no matter what style of music it concerns, if it’s electronic music combined with acoustic instruments, progressive dance music, chillout, ambient, rock influenced electronica, classic or music for TV and film: Every production that leaves Ingo’s studio has this ’special difference’ in sound quality, composure, and arrangement.

This man has just cracked the surface of his love for music and it can only lead him - and those who are fortunate enough to hear his work - to higher places …

Ingo currently resides in Western Germany’s Ruhr Area - very countryside, near his birthplace. He spends an inordinate amount of time (like 32 hours a day) in his studio to work on his countless projects. Sitting beneath Ingo @ work is like putting fingers into a wall socket. Do not speak to him, this man is in an altered state of consciousness!

Keeping it real

parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://www.ingovogelmann.com/wp/wp-content/plugins/hot-linked-image-cacher/upload//images/pictures/grupoberlin2.jpg”>Ich bin ein sehr sehr grosser TOTO Fan. Eine der grössten Bands der Musikgeschichte. Ich habe Steve Lukather 1992 live in Bochum gesehen (mit den “Los Lobotomy’s”, Simon Phillips am Schlagzeug!), daß Konzert war eine Riesenparty. In den Laden passten nur 500 Leute, entsprechend war die Stimmung. Als mir auf einer Fähre von Barcelona nach Mallorca mal ein Ex-Roadie von Toto erzählte, Steve Lukather würde nur mit 2 Flaschen Bourbon auf die Bühne gehen, hätte ich dem am Liebsten eine reingehauen, war er eines meiner Musikidole verumglimpft hat. Wieviel Wahrheit an der Geschichte haftet, weiß ich bis heute nicht, ist mir aber auch egal.

Auf der Homepage von Steve Lukather habe ich folgendes Mega-Statement zur Musikindustrie gelesen (englisch, sorry):

Keeping it real

Whatever you do, however you want to create, record, and promote your music, always keep it real. I love the underdog story. Take Norah Jones. You gotta love this chick. A few years ago she was an unknown and she’s still living in the same apartment, yet she’s a real musician. Same with Diana Krall. She’s great. She’s a schooled musician who loves playing music. I’m a Grammy-voting member and I left half the voting ballot blank this year because I never heard of some of these people. I mean, c’mon. Are the people who made the ballot list the best we’ve got? I wanna see real shit. Norah Jones. Real. Bruce Springsteen. Real. Arif Marden. Real. I’ve worked with him for years. He’s real, he’s a genius, and he’s a guy that knows how to put it all together. Friend, how fast or slow or how technical or non-technical you can play means nothing. Whether you can read music or not doesn’t matter. I don’t care if you can only play three notes. All that matters is how you play those three notes and if it’s real and if they come from deep inside your heart and soul. It’s all about your soul, your sound, your aura, your heart, your spirit and your touch coming out through your music. It’s not about the gear. It’s not about the latest technology. It’s not about being signed to a major record label. It’s all about letting ‘you’ come through in your music. When you do that, you will be in the company of the greats, and you’re going to be someone I’m going to dig listening to.

Making a hit record

If I knew what makes a record a hit, I’d be writing this to you from my yacht taking a colonic, but the truth is no one knows for sure. Half the hit records I’ve played on – and there have been a lot – I’d think they sucked, but lo and behold they’d become hits. Who knew? You don’t have to be on a major label to have a big hit. I’d say, do it with your own independent label, because you’re going to have complete control of your music, you’ll own your creation, and you’ll make a boatload more money. And you need to realize that you don’t even need a hit record to be a musical success. If you’re doing what you love to do, perhaps able to make a little money at it, and you’re loving your life, then in my book, you’re already a great success. By all means, use technology to help you create your own ‘real’ music, but don’t get hung up on technology and worrying about what kind of guitar, amp or little blue wire Mr. Rockstar has in the back of his effects rack. All of that shit means absolutely nothing and almost everyone could care less. It’s all about the song. Some of the greatest songs the world has ever heard and are still timeless (like Motown or any of the Beatles work) were done without all the high-tech computers and software you have today. It’s not about the technology. It’s all about the song. It’s about the music. It’s about your soul. It’s about keeping it real.

Enjoying your gift of music

The musical road you travel down always turns out to be way different from the one you originally thought you’d take. And in the end, it’s all good, even though at the time, you could be going through some experiences that really suck. Over the years, I’ve had many great success and many great disappointments, yet through them all, I’ve always kept a few things about life in perspective: Live for today; Enjoy every moment; Deny yourself nothing; Have a great time; Try to be nice to people; Try to leave a little love behind; Small little gestures make you feel you good inside; Respect others. My friend, all the fame and fortune doesn’t matter. It’s about caring for the people who care about you. My parents thought I was insane in 1967 when I was 10 years old and announced I wanted to be a musician, as I held up Jimi’s (Hendrix) record Are you experienced in my hand. I’ve never wanted to be a rock star, but always wanted to be a lifer who played music from that magical day until the day I die. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m an overpaid guitar player who’s a happy guy that’s mystified by my own success and is grateful to any and everyone who has been and will be important in my musical road and this journey and experience called Life. In the big picture of life, what I do is insignificant. It really is. I mean, c’mon. We don’t know if we’ll be here tomorrow, and a long time ago I stopped caring about the little stupid things that used to upset me. Really, what we’ve got to do is enjoy the moment. I care nothing about material things. What matters to me is not how many Grammy’s or awards I get or what the critics say. What matters most is my family, my wife, my children, and my friends. Everything else is expendable. That’s my philosophy: Everything in life is fleeting except the people I truly love and care about. I love my wife. I love my family. I love my friends and everything else is just bullshit. I know I’m blessed and so lucky to do what I do. I mean for heaven’s sakes, I’m a guitar player and able to earn a good living at what I love to do. What more do I need?

Ich verneige mein langhaariges Haupt. Nebenbei, Steve hat unzählige Grammy’s gewonnen und ist einer der erfolgreichtsten Musiker der Welt. Ausserdem zählt er zu den besten Gitarristen der Welt, manche sagen auch, er sei der Beste.
