The Return Of Electronic Rock - Canceled !

Due to very low ticket-sales (9 in two months), we have decided to cancel "The Return Of Electronic Rock" on november 24th.
Nevertheless we will continue to work on that idea and hope to return with a new concept in 2013.

I would like to thank all friends,  partners and colleagues which have helped with their ideas and power to make "The Return Of Electronic Rock" real; especially Sylvia Sommerfeld of "Schallwende e.V." and Roland Germany.

Yours Sincerely

Bernd Kistenmacher

New track : The Memorial

Since 13 years, the german "Schallwende e.V." fan-organization for electronic music releases a special CD-project, which is called "Schallplatte". Sylvia Sommerfeld - head of the organization - invites artists from the scene  to contribute on that project. Each year, the content of "Schallplatte" focusses on another theme. This year (2011) is "Literature" the goal. Each participant was asked to write some music about his most beloved or most impressing book.

I decided to write a musical comment on "Memorial do Convento" from "José Saramago", who had passed away in 2010. The result - "Das Memorial" - is a reflection of one of the saddest scenes in that novel: the transport of a huge bell on a hill by hundreds of suffering souls.

So "Schallplatte no.13" is out now and available for members of the organization only. A true collectors item. I am sure, that "Schallwende e.V." cannot get enough promotors and fans of electronic music. So - if you like - become a member quickly and get "Schallplatte no.13".

Thank you

Planetarium Bochum - First pictures and reactions

The show is over and we are back in Berlin now.
The weekend was fantastic and I thank everybody, who let this concert become reality.

First of all I thank Sylvia & Klaus-Ulrich Sommerfeld from "Schallwende e.V", Bernd & Michaela Scholl from "MellowJet Records", Stefan Erbe for his trust and his PA(!), Prof. Dr. Huettemeister & the team from Planetarium Bochum, Michel Le Stum and the guys from "Cosmiccagibi" and of course my wife Sabine and my son Manuel, who worked like a professional roadie (respect!).
So please enjoy some first pictures from Christian Piednoir and Sabine as well as the concert review by Stefan Schelle from "Musikzirkus Magazin".

Looking back ...and forward!

My dear friends,

this was 2009. Well, it wasn't an easy but almost an exciting year.

So I was allowed to participate in a lot of "premieres". For example my first laudatory during the launch of "Schallwelle - Preis für elektronische Musik in Deutschland" or my return on stage after 9 years of abstinence in Paris by invitation of my friends of "Cosmiccagibi". I also became a "Featured Artist" by Roland - Germany. A fact which makes me very proud.
And yes, I became a member of the "MellowJet Records family", which released my album "Celestial Movements" in past november. All these things make me happy, proud, optimistic and hungry for new activities in 2010.

So I am really happy to announce my next concert on 12th of june at the "Zeiss Planetarium Bochum". This will be the first concert after the complete renovation of the planetarium that will be equipped with new sound, lighting and new seats. It takes place on the initiative and invitation of Sylvia Sommerfeld from "Schallwende e.V." and Bernd Scholl from "MellowJet Records". Official ticket sales will start in april, but pre-orders and reservations can be done before by eMail at schallwende@web.de .

Of course a second concert is in preparation as well as a lot of activities by Roland, where I will be involved in too. Informations about all this can be read here soon.

I was also asked by "MellowJet" to produce a new album for autumn 2010 too. Because I was told that my fans will not "wait" another 8 years for it, I must hurry up and return to my synths now.

But before I do this, I will say thank you to all my friends in France, Germany or anywhere else and to my family too, who ever believed in me. Your energy gives me the power to go forward - with no doubts.

I see you - here or there but in any case soon and I wish you a really happy and healthful new year!

Kisses

Bernd
