LET'S TALK ABOUT JAZZ...AND NOISES
No sooner do those days seem to have passed when delicate green leaves were curling up into damp, dark foliage that knew how to throw itself under our feet with clearly breakneck intent, than we find ourselves confronted with other seasonal evils: Chirping, laughing, snorting, coughing, whistling, sweating (the sound of particularly dedicated runners* on fluffy, churning gravel) -oh silence, oh winter - why does the bright world of spring press so loudly against our ears?
So that out of hundreds of sounds, woven into a wiry noise - fed by the rumbling of never-fading engines, chattering mouths, the cooing of love-struck pigeons and the steady gait of our footsteps - individual peaks spring up, enchanting us and at whose dashing edges we want to throw ourselves into the sounding swarm, only to emerge again with a splinter of sound that promises music! A corny description, no question! But what the heck. Early spring has touched our laughing lips and taken us away a little. "I'll make a song of silence for your tired ears that have had to endure so much noise", sings Wencke Wollny from Karl die Große (7.3. naTo) and we almost want to float away into that November light again, which is also delicately melancholic. Just for the brief darkness of a blink and then it's March! Twice this month we will also be guests at the Werkcafé of Neue Musik Leipzig with our Jazzclub live concerts. Before that, it's a great time to stroll around the Rosental and listen to sounds.
We'll be outside then!
