"Eckhart von Hochheim O.P. (c. 1260-c. 1328) commonly known as Meister Eckhart, was a German theologian, philosopher and mystic, born near Gotha, in Thuringia. Meister is German for "Master", referring to the academic title Magister in theologia he obtained in Paris. Coming into prominence during the decadent Avignon Papacy and a time of increased tensions between the Franciscans and Eckhart's Dominican Order of Preacher Friars, he was brought up on charges later in life before the local Franciscan-led Inquisition. Tried as a heretic by Pope John XXII, his "Defence" is famous for his reasoned arguments to all challenged articles of his writing and his refutation of heretical intent. He purportedly died before his verdict was received, although no record of his death or burial site has ever been discovered. Well known for his work with pious lay groups such as the Friends of God and succeeded by his more circumspect disciples of John Tauler and Henry Suso, he has gained a following in recent years. In his study of medieval humanism, Richard Southern includes him along with Saint Bede the Venerable and Saint Anselm as emblematic of the intellectual spirit of the Middle Ages".

tyynyliina biography:
Born in 1985 in the north of Germany, did scandinavian and finnish studies in the extremely north of Germany, so she had to go to Berlin, because every artistic interaction is being scotched in the former towns, but here she bought a really cheap keyboard in january 2009. Tyynyliina possesses aswell several analogue cameras and currently writes her second narration.
Massimo Croce biography:
Massimo Croce was born in Ferrara, Italy 1966, has been living and working in Cairo since 2001. Inspired by the work of futurist musicians of the early 20th century such as Luigi Russolo, Croce celebrates "noise" as an additional element of "sound" that could be utilized in the creation of musical pieces. His music (almost a misnomer) involves the desynchronization of somewhat distorted sounds.
Describing his work pattern, Croce explains that he walks the streets of Cairo with a voice recorder, recording everyday sounds to which the average Egyptian on the street is oblivious. Callers at the bus station, street vendors, the familiar bustle on the Cairene streets, all draw a smile on his face while others may huff and puff about the annoying sound level. "Normally, noise is looked upon as something annoying. Yet, we have always been living with noise," Croce said. As a matter of fact, Russolo, his role model said the same thing almost a century ago.
Localization: In the winter Cairo Egypt, in the summer Ferrara Italy.

The album was recorded in single day has a live perfomance. The album has songs that are part of our live setlist and also improvised tracks that were done that very same day. Our definition of recording is very simple, what we play goes, if we liked how it sound it while we played it stays it makes the album, that simple.
We got together the summer of 2008 to record our debut album, in somewhat a familiar style as this last one. Everything was improvised and back then we were playing with a studio drummer. A couple of months went by and we met Rino and decided to incorporate him into the project as well as Eduardo Pereira, our official illustrator, as our trumpet player. After that we play a couple of private house parties, and record a 4 song EP called Captan,obvio presents: Bedroom Covers and Bathroom Rarities and our latest album called Die Captan, obvio, Die!!!

SAKEE SED
gruppo nato come
DE SEEKAS
Le lettere si invertono, come in uno specchio.
Parole senza senso? Forse.
Sakee Sed sono Marco Ghezzi e Gianluca Perucchini, due ragazzi bergamaschi classe 1984 e 1986, cresciuti alle basi della Roncola (monte bergamasco).
“Alle basi della Roncola” proprio il titolo del loro album d'esordio, particolare, colorito e tetro allo stesso tempo, compatto e multi sfaccettato, semplice e complesso.
Il disco nasce dalle melodie magiche di Howard, pianoforte di inizio secolo da Saloon, con il sapore di tabacco ancora intriso nei tasti e nel legno e dai ritmi spazzolati di batteria.
Chitarre acustiche, elettriche, vibrafoni, banjo, uculele, organi, basso e cori si agganciano organicamente a questo scheletro a cui viene, alla fine 'donata' la voce mattutina di Marco.
Strumenti vecchi e usurati e registrazioni semplici caratterizzano il suono.
Giochi di parole, metafore e allusioni caratterizzano i loro testi.
I loro brani ci portano in un mondo fisicamente e storicamente sospeso tra la lontana America dei saloon e la quotidianità vissuta.
“Alle Basi della Roncola” raccoglie 13 canzoni che alternano leggerezza e paranoia, amicizia e odio, fantasia e delirio, a metà tra una grigia dimensione rurale e un cartone animato multicolor bagnato di LSD.
Il verso dell’asino, la maestosità degli alberi. La concretezza di alcune immagini si incastrano a testi che hanno il sapore di una triste favola.
Dal vivo i Sakee Sed ripropongono il disco, variando il set da acustico a elettrico e, spesso coadiuvati dalla 'family' una cricca di musicisti che comprende Roberta Sammarelli (Verdena), Nicolas Restivo [n!], Martina Togni e Thomas Maffi.
SAKEE SED
The band was born as
DE SEEKAS
Letters turned upside-down, like in a mirrow
The Sakee Sed are Marco Grezzi and Gianluca Perucchini, guys from Bergamo, Italy, born between 1984 and 1986, grown in the nearby of the “Roncola”, a grey mount in Bergamo. After a two-years experience with the band De Seekas, a band with a stoner-rock attitude, the two guys began to deal with Howard, a piano from the beginning of the century, which drives them to turn letterally upside-down their style and name.
“Alle basi della Roncola” (At the feet of the Roncola) is the title of their debut album as Sakee Sed, coloured and dark at the same time, compact and multifaceted but of great impact. The album contains 13 tracks that blend a sense of lightness with paranoia, friendship and hate, fairy and frenzy, everything hanging by a grey rural dimension and a coloured world soaked in LSD.
Old and vintage instruments, very simple and low-fi recording characterize the album. On the Howard’s tunes and on a dancing drumming, we find ourselves catapulted back to the old saloons of the 50s and we can even smell tobacco. Everything is surrounded by harmonies of acoustic and electric guitars, vibraphones, banjo, ukulele, horgans, basses, chorus, melted with Marco, just awake, voice.
Puns, metaphores and allusions characterize the lyrics. The reality of some images fits in novels that remind of a melancholy fairy.
Sakee Sed still seem to be able to listen to the children novels, the sound of nature and its becoming human, and involve all: introspective sound and stories of drugs and alchool, medicines, fears, everyday life and love.
Sakee Sed usually change their live sets, sometimes unplugged, sometimes loud and electric, and they are supported on stage by “the family”, some friends and musicians of them, like Roberta Sammarelli (Verdena), Nicolas Restivo [n!], Martina Togni e Thomas Maffi.

Humberto Luis Schenone was born in Buenos Aires on September 6th 1955. Since his childhood had some school trouble for his pleasure of beating over anything, making “candombe-batucada”. Graduated as psychologist in 1985, he dedicated himself to his professional activities and for some time, to study Spanish guitar.
In 1990 he assumed his role in music as percussionist. After different periods travelling and living in Brazil, he settled a house 30 kms away from Buenos Aires where he built his first “percussion-room” and started his studies of afro-american rhythms with several important teachers.
He has been part of several bands related with afro-percussion, bossa nova, samba, salsa, rock, south-american folk, tango, etc. Nowadays, again in Buenos Aires, he works on his solo project CD collections: “Human Tracks”, “The Rhythms of Life I & II”, “Human Fights”, etc. , dedicates part of his time to the construction of ceramic udus and participates as guest musician in different groups.

Live at St. Catherine's Church, Vilnius, December 12, 2008
Mastered by Ilia Belorukov, December 2009
Improvising music is probably the best example of kind of art where both individuality and collectivity can be expressed in one single piece. In this album, however, one can find how differently musicians act regarding of circumstances they play – solo and in ensembles - and how spontaneous collaboration can be productive when improvisers from different places of the world gather to express their creativity in music.
No doubt that for two Russian musicians - saxophonist Ilia Belorukov and pianist Roman Stolyar - there was nothing new in playing duo together – before concert in Vilnius they already have had opportunity to play (and even record) together in trio Dots & Lines. Besides, each of them is quite experienced improviser, whose manner of playing music has been formed under many different influences – from classical music to rock, from noise to ethnic music. Also, there was definitely nothing new for two outstanding Lithuanian musicians – drummer Arkady Gotesman and trombonist Skirmantas Sasnauskas – in a situation when they meet “strangers’ right on stage and play with them – they did that dozens of times before. But in the world of improvising music everything is new when one starts improvise – with no plans, no scores, no agreement with his own self or with other participants of improvising ensemble. Every piece played by such kind of ensemble will never be repeated in its exact shape – and only recording can remind us how that was. Well, here is live recording of fifty-minute performance of absolutely spontaneous music – a result of sudden collaboration of four musicians from Russia and Lithuania which happened in Vilnius at one warm December night. Enjoy.
Пожалуй, сложно найти более показательный вид искусства, в котором органично сливаются воедино коллективное и индивидуальное, чем импровизационная музыка. В предлагаемом альбоме, однако, можно обнаружить, насколько разнообразно могут проявлять себя музыканты-импровизаторы в зависимости от обстоятельств – играя соло или в ансамбле – и насколько продуктивным может быть спонтанное музицирование, когда импровизаторы, живущие в разных частях света, собираются вместе, чтобы дать свободу творческому волеизъявлению в музыке.
Для двух российских музыкантов - саксофониста Ильи Белорукова и пианиста Романа Столяра - вне сомнения, нет ничего нового в том, что они играют в дуэте – ведь до вильнюсского концерта они уже сотрудничали (и даже записывались) в трио Dots & Lines. Кроме того, оба они – вполне опытные импровизаторы, чей музыкальный язык сформировался под воздействием очень разных музыкальных течений – от классики до рока, от нойза до этники. Безусловно, и для выдающихся литовских музыкантов – барабанщика Аркадия Готесмана и тромбониста Скирмантаса Саснаускаса – нет также ничего нового в ситуации, когда они импровизируют с музыкантами, с которыми встретились уже на сцене – это они проделывали множество раз. Но в мире импровизационной музыки новизна возникает каждый раз, когда начинается импровизация - безо всяких договорённостей, без партитур, без согласования действий с самим собой и с партнёрами по ансамблю. Каждая пьеса, исполненная таким ансамблем, никогда более не повторится в точности – лишь записи могут напомнить нам о её существовании. Итак, вашему вниманию представлен концертный альбом, состоящий из пятидесяти минут совершенно спонтанной музыки – результат случайной встречи четырёх музыкантов из России и Литвы, случившейся в Вильнюсе тёплым декабрьским вечером. Приятного прослушивания.
