For the very first time Bernd Kistenmacher will give a concert of a special kind in the newly renovated and modernized Planetarium Hamburg.

Bernd Kistenmacher ist ein deutscher Musiker, Stilrichtung Symphonic-Electronic Crossover.
Erste Aufnahmen von ihm wurden bereits ab 1984 veröffentlicht, Bei der WDR - Schwingungen-Wahl wurde er 1986 mit großem Abstand als „Bester Newcomer des Jahres“ gewählt. Nachdem er bereits 1985 mit Livekonzerten in Berlin auf sich aufmerksam machte, gelang Kistenmacher 1986 der Durchbruch beim größten Synthesizerfestival Deutschlands, den Frankfurter Synthesizertagen.
Seine Soloalben, auf denen er gelegentlich mit Gastmusikern zusammenarbeitet, wurden anfangs der Berliner Schule (der elektronischen Musik) zugerechnet. Heute produziert er mit Vorliebe Konzeptalben, die sich inhaltlich um ein bestimmtes Thema drehen. Cineastische Anleihen sind dabei durchaus gewollt. Kistenmacher bezeichnet seine Werke heute als „symphonisch-elektronische
Bernd Kistenmacher ist Inhaber des Musiklabels „MIRecords“, auf dem er seine eigenen Werke verlegt. Dennoch erscheinen einige seiner Alben immer wieder auch auf anderen Labeln, wie z.B. MellowJet Records, Groove Unlimited oder kürzlich auch auf dem bekannten Hamburger Label Bureau B.

So trat er 2009 in Paris auf und spielte im Juni 2010 als erster Live-Musiker in dem zum Anfang des Jahres modernisierten und neu gestalteten Zeiss Planetarium Bochum vor ausverkauftem Haus. Im Herbst desselben Jahres gab er im Berliner Rathaus Schöneberg ein exklusives Konzert anlässlich des „Ricochet Gathering“ Festivals. Er tritt regelmäßig in den Planetarien von Berlin, Jena und Münster auf.
Zwischendurch arbeitet Bernd Kistenmacher gelegentlich als Sound-Designer und Gast-Autor für Fachmagazine.
Am 22.April 2017 wird Bernd Kistenmacher erstmals im Hamburger Planetarium auftreten und sein neuestes Werk „EMPATHY“ in einer eigens dafür konzipierten Show in 5.1 Surround Sound vorstellen.

bureau b releases Head-Visions and Wake Up In The Sun!
After many months of preparation and work it is time now to tell you, that the very known Hamburg based label "bureau b" releases my first solo-albums "Head-Visions" and "Wake Up In The Sun" on 6th of november. The releases will be available as downloads, Compact Disc and Vinyl. Especially "Wake Up In The Sun" wasn't not released since more than a decade. So this will be your chance to rediscover the music of my very first musical period.
Let's say bureau b some own words about it:
"It was Klaus
Schulze’s album “Moondawn”
(1976) which altered
the trajectory of Kistenmacher’s life when he heard it on the radio at
the tender age of 16.
The sequencer patterns,
melody lines and
soundscapes triggered all of his aesthetic receptors. From then on, this
was the only kindof music he
wanted to hear.
He became a
relentless venerator of Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze,
particularly the latter.
But his heroes
evolved, their music
changed with the advent of
digitalsounds and midification. A fairly normal process in music which
is strongly influenced by technology. But Kistenmacher was not happy with the
way things were going.
And if his
idols were no longer
making the music
he loved them for, then he had to take up the challenge himself. His
father had shown him how to play the piano when he was a child and he had
always been fascinated by
the technology of synthesizers—Kistenmacher thus decided to become a musician. Synthesizers
were prohibitively expensive, so he started to build his own modular system.
But before he finished, he realised that, for one thing, he was going to have
to spend inordinate sums of money and, secondly, he was not going to achieve
the results he strove for unless he could get his hands on
a proper synthesizer. As soon as he was
able to pay for one, Kistenmacher bought
a Korg Mono/Poly
which would become
the cornerstone of his career. That was back in 1982.
He acquired more and more equipment until, in 1984, he
finally released his first cassette (“Dancing Sequences”). Kistenmacher was now
using his analogue gear to create the sounds which Schulze and Tangerine Dream played at
the zenith of
their careers. Two further
cassette productions followed (“Music
from Outer Space”,
“Romantic Times”), as
did various concerts, meeting
with approval from
radio stations and
consumers. In 1986, the
time had come
for him to
release his first
LP: “Head-Visions”.
The cover art features a work by the Berlin sculptor
Rainer Kriester. The reaction was
overwhelming. Radio plays,
big concerts, music
for fashion shows and
television formats indicated
to Kistenmacher that
he was on the right track: repetitive sequencer patterns, soft melody
arches and layered soundscapes,
with rhythmic bass
lines driving the
musicforward. Minor keys
dominated. In other
words: Bernd Kistenmacher embodies the spirit of the
Berlin School."
So please check out the following audiosamples or go directly to the website of "bureau b". Again the releases will be available from november 6th on and exclusively for the first time at my upcoming show in Berlin at the "Planetarium Am Insulaner" on the 7th of november.
I meet you there!
I meet you there!
