Paris - one week ago

Dear friends,

yes, the concert in Paris is one week ago. I really don't know why time passes so quickly. No question about, this weekend was absolutely fantastic and unforgetable.
I am not able to describe everything here but I will try to leave some thoughts about the most important moments.

Our little journey began on thursday 22nd of october in Berlin. We didn't want to drive non-stop to Paris. So Bernd Scholl - owner of "MellowJet Records" - and his kind family had invited us and we had the chance to stop our trip in german Eifel near the boarder of Belgium. This first evening was filled with good talks and very good food and drink too. So on friday morning we had enough power again to continue our journey.

...with Bernd Scholl (MellowJet Records)

Another 5 hours on the autoroute and we arrived Paris on friday afternoon. Our hotel was right on the famous quarter of Montmartre vis-a-vis of LaCigalle and La Boule Noire - the club, where I was asked to play. On the roof of our hotel, we had a phantastic view over Paris. Beeing in Paris for the first time of my life was also one of the unforgetable moments.

...view from our hotel to Montmartre

In the evening we met all my friends of "Cosmiccagibi", the french association which asked me to return on stage in november 2008 and which also organized the upcoming concert.

After a big "Hello" we had a little sightseeing and went up the Montmartre directly to Sacre Coeur - this big, white church on top of the mountain. You have a fantastic view over Paris from there; also by night. Then we had a nice dinner and good talks again.

Saturday was the day we were waiting for. We met us in front of LaBoule Noire and started with all necessary preparations for the concert. It was great to do this again after such a long time.

Also Pavle Kovacevic and Bruno Begani , which played at first on this evening, did their preparations on stage. These nice guys used a lot of fantastic analogue equipment and created a cool sound with their machines.

After all rehearsals Olivier Bégué told the whole staff to leave the club because of a video, which should be filmed by Julien Perrin. He wanted to do a little artist-portait for a video collection called "Single Collection". Main idea was to ask artists for their most beloved song or music, which was initial reason to make music too. In my case it was "Aegian Sea" from greek cult-band "Aphrodite's Child". So I will tell not more but invite you to watch the result of our filming, which is online in the meantime. It is obvious to thank Cosmiccagibi for this great idea and Julien for his kind and professional way to get me in front of a camera. Funny beside all this is, that you can get a short impression of "La Boule Noire" and "Our" stage.

So the concert began at 7 pm with the set of Bruno Begani et Paul Kovacevic. They played approx. 1 hour.

My set began after a short break at 8.30. Olivier made a short introduction then I went on stage and started...

I am very satisfied with the concert. At least I played completely music from my next album "Celestial Movements". All synths worked perfectly and the audience liked the music very much. After 2 hours everything was finished. Just an important note about a fact, which makes me very proud. As you surely know, the concert of Klaus Schulze and Lisa Gerrard at german Loreley was released on DVD ("Rheingold"). It was filmed by James L. Frachon. The same James L. Frachon ("Mygale Films") also filmed my concert with 2 cameras. The result will be published soon. Of course this was again one of the great ideas of my friends of "Cosmiccagbi". Thanks to them and many thanks to James L. Frachon.

After the concert I had some nice talks with fans and some short interviews.


Then we had to leave the club fast and we met us again for a final diner at "Cafe Montmartre".

...relaxing after the show

On sunday we left Paris after a little sightseeing again as well as we had to leave our friends too. We returned to Bernd Scholl's home and stayed there overnight again. Finally we had another nice evening there. We also discussed final works for my CD, which will be released latest in 3 weeks.

Finally I can't say much more but thank you. Thank you to my friends Marie and Olivier Bégué, Michel Le Stum and his nice wife Mané, Christian Piednoir, Dominique "The Driver" Pelletier, Yann, Fred, Fabrice, Olivier Briand and all other guys of Cosmiccagibi I forgot to mention here. I thank Julien Perrin and James L. Frachon for their ideas, support and help. I thank Bernd Scholl and his family for believing in me and my family too for the love they gave and give to me.

So here we are now. We went a way, which was not easy to go. We look to the future and see all this things which are possible now.
Let's do it.

In love

Bernd Kistenmacher

As you surely know, Klaus Schulze will perform together with Lisa Gerrard on september 23rd in Paris at "La Cigale". I am sure, that this will be a great and unforgetable event.

This evening will also be a great opportunity for Cosmiccagibi to promote my concert in Paris, which happens exactly 1 month and 1 day later (on october 24th) at "La Boule Noir"; a club which is indeed in the same house as "La Cigale". This happens with the very kind permission of Klaus Schulze himself!

AND you will also have the unique chance to obtain most of my CDs from my backcatalogue including all single CDs from the "my little universe" box-set.

BERND KISTENMACHER "Celestial Movements..Live !"

+ première partie L I G H T W A V E

En effet nous sommes parvenus à mettre ce concert sur pied. Alors qu'initialement prévu sur Bordeaux dans un endroit unique, le projet a finalement pris forme finale sur Paris en plein centre.

Nous avions par le passé déjà organisé deux festivals en Gironde sur Libourne avec les fameux "Close Encounters of Electronic Music Phase I et Phase II "

BERND KISTENMACHER

Musicien allemand, né à Berlin. Bernd se consacre très jeune à sa passion pour la musique. Issue de la "Berlin Schule" allemande, cette musique est appelée en France "musique cosmique" ou planante, et les grand maitres en sont Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Popol Vuh, Ash Ra Temple.
Considéré comme le meilleur de sa génération par les mélommanes avertis et la presse spécialisée, Bernd Kistenmacher commence à faire parler de lui au début des années 80.

Longues plages très évocatrices et ésotériques, mélodies envoûtantes, séquences et nappes puissantes,... l'émotion est poignante et le voyage intérieur assuré.
Il a 20 albums à son actif. Citons tout particulièrement "Outlines" et "Un viaggio attraverso l'Italia". Le prochain, "Celestial Movements", produit par MellowJet, sortira cet été...
Tout au long de sa carrière Bernd a toujours su s'entourer de ses "meilleurs amis", des gros synthétiseurs modulaires jusqu'à la technologie numérique.
Enfin une occasion unique de voir cet artiste en Live ici en France !
Voyage interstellaire garanti !

L I G H T W A V E

LightWave est un groupe français de musique électronique fondé initialement en 1985 par Serge Leroy, Laurent Bozek et Christian Wittman, reconstitué depuis 1988 autour du duo Christoph HARBONNIER et Christian WITTMAN. Grâce à une approche ludique et intuitive des anciennes et nouvelles lutheries électroniques, des matières sonores, Lightwave explore des mondes poétiques et sensuels, joue avec les sons comme avec des couleurs, des formes, des objets concrets ou des dimensions spatiales. La musique du groupe s’apparente à une suite d’aventures et d’architectures sonores, évoluant librement entre le concept et l’imagination, entre la géométrie et le labyrinthe. plongeant l’auditeur dans un film dont il invente le scénario et les images. Sur scène comme en studio, LightWave privilégie le live électronique et le mélange d'instruments acoustiques, par un jeu direct, une composition qui se bâtit dans l’écoute et l’échange comme un trio de jazz ou un quatuor à cordes. Au fil de huit albums parus (label SIGNATURE Radio France, ERDENKLANG - Allemagne, Hearts of Space et Horizon Music - USA..), dont les deux derniers sur le label Signature - France Musiques - de Radio-France, la musique de LightWave a su aussi captiver de larges publics, dans des concerts évènements ou sous la forme d’installations et de créations sonores spectaculaires dans des sites industriels, géologiques et historiques (Gazomètre géant d'Oberhausen en Allemagne, les Grottes de Choranches dans le Vercors, la grande coupole Bischoffsheim de l'Observatoire de Nice, la Nuit Blanche 2007 à Paris à la piscine Simone de Beauvoir. LightWave compte de nombreuses collaborations notamment avec des artistes comme le regretté Hector Zazou (Les Nouvelles Polyphonies Corses, Chansons des Mers Froides, Shara Blue...), Michel Redolfi, Jon Hassell, Paul Haslinger (Tangerine Dream) et Jean Philippe Rykiel...

Le soir du 24 octobre Christoph Harbonnier sera aux cotés de Bruno Begani et Paul Kovacevic.
