Peter Gabriel does with his New Blood Program in the Olympic Hall in Munich maintenance
Peter Gabriel Interview - Photo: Real World Records EMI York Tillyer
Peter Gabriel, a founding member of the British rock band Genesis, will be on 02.05.2012 Olympiahalle in Munich to present his guest and elaborate orchestral show "New Blood". Advance he was in a lengthy interview (provided by the Promoters Group Munich) to answer questions. We want you to blog from Munich withheld not the most interesting statements from Peter Gabriel, of course:
"Many people were probably very skeptical about the orchestration: Ah yes, there is again an artist older and booked an orchestra to jazz up its program to - no thanks! And I know that sounds like this: Now we move on to the cabaret and hope to have met with some veterans' respect - or whatever you want to call it. But that was exactly the reason why we are entitled to the whole 'New Blood' - have been - 'Fresh Blood'. Because we wanted to say: No, that is precisely not the way we wrestled around on the matter, the things we are trying to really get to the bottom and try and see if we can not accomplish anything new.
Perhaps we have reached this target is not always, but I think there are places on the disk, where you hear something that there was so never heard. And that of course is what is always the most exciting thing for me.
John Metcalfe, I've met in different ways. He was not afraid to be daring. And I wanted to take a bold album. We have thrown out the complete Rock Band. Most people who devote themselves to keep the orchestra and band take their projects to the Orchestra only. But we have taken out the guitars, we have taken out the electric bass, we have taken out the entire drum kit, and thus we were much more committed to use the entire color palette of the orchestra really.
When John [Metcalf] and I first met, we have a few names thrown around. And when we as a track like "Intruder" were reached, was also the name of Hitchcock, because it provided a specific reference. Has put together because I think some songs have been implemented almost cinematically, and Bernard Herrmann, Hitchcock's great composer and arranger was definitely an influence on the way John [Metcalfe] the arrangements for "Intruder". I initially had the songs, which are often cited as big hits aside and I focused more on the songs that tell a story or with textures and moods, work from which I had the feeling that they have the right raw material to make it react with an orchestra.

Takács Quartet
The Takács Quartet are matchless, their supreme artistry manifest at every level. In any quartet, players' individual traits are always apparent, yet, with the Takács, every facet of their musicianship serves the music in such a way that the character and personality of the composer emerges with extraordinary intensity. The most familiar music takes on a new purity and significance.
At their Pittville Pump Room recital, the Takács balanced works by Haydn and Dvořák of such genial disposition as to make the world seem a better place. Haydn's Lark Quartet, Op 64, No 5 was conceived as a vehicle for the brilliant violinist Johann Tost. Edward Dusinberre wears his virtuosity so lightly that it's easy to take it for granted, but this performance was remarkable for the differing tone-colours with which he invested successive violin themes, and the sympathetic responses of the other three voices pointing up the warp and weft of the musical fabric.
Affinities with Haydn were highlighted in Dvořák's Quartet in E flat major, Op 51, where textural complexities belie the lyrical ease of the melodic writing. The Dumka highlighted Dvořák's fertile imagination, while the Allegro finale's irrepressible energy set a radiant seal on proceedings.
Between these two, and forming the emotional core of the evening, came Britten's Third Quartet, written in 1975, the year before he died. Its five-movement form may be Bartók's, and the Burlesque recalls Shostakovich, but the work is quintessential Britten. The Takács imbued it with an atmospheric, elegiac quality. More moving still was the sense of a composer facing death and having the courage to look back on a creative life, quoting from his opera Death in Venice and ending on a questioning note, though with philosophical serenity rather than regret.

Second Beer bank SemiSW 1024x622 300x182 Manual Kant The ashen girl
German with songs that are with me always so ne thing. Since I am in my office life much radio as background music use (not anything but a good boy FluxFM, as befits a music-interested brat like me) is one I hear often gone over the German text and I'm like "not again, what of Thees Uhlmann and associates. "
This time I had to sit up but I think it was with the "uh-Huuu." A German, almost bluesy indie-rock ballad with honest lyrics about dangerous and sad hipster girls.
The band: Manual Kant come from Bavaria, specifically from Landshut. This fate they share with chip shop, which also come from the charming town.
The label on the other hand (Richard Mohlmann Records) share with Kant Manual Ghost of Tom Joad. Still ne promising German band. May indeed be the only good career accordingly.

New products and products for climbing rocks
Like last year I had last weekend at the OutDoor Show in Friedrichshafen and looked around, expecting that new and existing products are all about climbing and bouldering 2011th
Although the absolute sensation though I was missing something, I could make a few highlights track down all the products that are specially interesting for climbing and a backpack, walking stick, slip GPS navigation monotony of the great press editors. The GriGri 2, a new Season Five Ten climbing shoes, the new La Sportiva Python and also one or two other small discovery can be found in my report of the OutDoor 2010 ...
OutDoor is the most important event of the outdoor sports and climbing industry. Every year in Friedrichshafen trade fair for the international audience, along with various competitions and a comprehensive program. Exhibitors present their latest innovations and developments that we expect by 2011 in the shops. Besides the whole circus around fair trade products has always been THE place to people personally know and socialize. The OutDoor 2010 was for me and the RokBlog very positive, despite the tight schedule, I have many plans and discuss partnerships and look forward to 2011.
The climbing shoe market in 2011 will have many new candidates. FiveTen has a full season of new weapons in the program: "Blackwing" is a remake of the successful "Dragons" - but with velcro. The older semesters is now perhaps a vague memory flashes: "Dragon Velcro - moment that there was a few years ago but ever!" Correct, update, or Revival is simply the "Blackwing" but not yet. FiveTen has tightened the heel of the team again, the "Dragon" operated on and the whole shoe striped with very narrow, red rubber lips that will help to keep that to a full feeling in Toehooks despite improved friction remains, on the other, but the shoe maintains the flexibility that it can adapt perfectly to the foot. Together with the sole and Mystique of the ordinary voltage is the "Blackwing" keen on steep walls. I especially appreciate that there is also a women's model, which has a narrower heel and higher total solid rubber lip has a narrow cut.
Who is more at lace-up shoes (note: pun!), Which will deal with two new models, "Hornet" and "Quantum". Both shoes are based on the last of the "Projects", but are not equivalent, despite the soft sole Mystique. Lacing in the eyes, it reminds me somewhat of the "Testa Rossa" by La Sportiva and the asymmetric banana-bend of the "Hornets" underlines - the "Hornet" the one now called "Crazy Curve" stands out. The "Quantum" there is a lot straighter on one side and reminds me of the "Anasazi Lace-Up." Also, the coloration is related to the "Anasazi Lace-Up." All models will be available and about 130, from early 2011 - cost EUR.
At La Sportiva also something important has happened: The "Cobra" gets a sister: the "Python"! (Those who are often working in the road block will be determined to enjoy on the analogy of the BW-slang ...) The "Python", a soft shoe with Toehook patch is similar to the "Solution" and modified heel. To ensure a better fit even after long, sweaty workout sessions, the "Python" a rubber Velcro. A very nice detail is found on the heel: it will no longer produce rubber lip that could come off at frequent Hooker. Also, the striking new two split sole with XS Grip is second The "Python" is expected in spring 2011 in the shops for about 95, - EUR to be chasing. The final shoe will probably change a little color and more adapted to the Cobra-orange.
Evolv is expanding its model range to the "Shaman". You must now advise 1x, who has since played major role in the development - right, Chris Sharma. The "Sharman" is a Downturn Velcro for steep terrain. New is an additional micro-velcro, which allows you to adjust the shoe at the instep better. This creates an air cushion under the up on the toes, one of the Shaman "Love Bump", a vaulting has to flatter the toes. Together with the coated pigskin inside the toebox feels really very pleasant. The shaman will no later than mid-2011 will be available in Germany.
One of the most most anticipated pieces of equipment is the perceived GriGri II After decades have passed, 2011 will finally bring the Petzl remake of the classic among the semi-automatic safety devices of the climbing community. The GriGri II is significantly smaller and lighter than its predecessor. Crucially, however, that the new GriGri II is approved for the new, thin ropes. Cables between 8.9mm and 11mm diameter can absorb GriGri. Visually, it has not changed very much, the color palette is maintained and the GriGri II will commence in 2011 at a cost of about 70, - EUR to come onto the market.
In Edelrid there is a new development in the climbing harnesses. The loop has a completely new series of binding and lock system. The central tie-in will be replaced by two ring loops through which the cable is included, so that the rope locks the belt. This does not slide off when tightening the belt, both ends are held together by a buckle. Whether it works in everyday life, will show up, I like the new system, because it looks tidier and I promise them more "freedom" when climbing with rope. The leg and Hüftschlaufen are made of a material very airy and there is the strap in different variants: Loopo, Loopo Light and Loopine. It is worth noting that only the Loopo-Light with plastic gear loops is provided in the other two models, the material found in two loops of webbing rigid space. Snapping out of gear loops should occur any more. Whoever is not with the standard gear loops manages who can pull up on the Slide-Rail System additional gear loops and position them variable. All models are about 70, - EUR cost and will be available from early 2011.
Oooops - because I bought into an old donkey - the belt are in existence for longer
Unfortunately, the crash pads on the market not particularly done much, although the last time calls for it. For me, the complaints pile up about the lack of quality sparkling Black Diamond crash pads in the new series. Even though my personal copy shows no wear, there are many dissatisfied voices and I would appreciate a further or new development.
A new concept was presented at the OutDoor Edelrid 2010th Owners of last year published crashpads Crux are perhaps the four small loops at the corners of her large crashpads noticed, but the meaning has not been revealed so right. This mystery has now been revealed: The program is now a small tent that can be built around the crash pad. The crash pad is to speak to the inner bottom plate on the outside skin of the tent. The small, single-walled 1-2 person tent is fitted with various pockets and vents. That sounds like a really good idea, which opens up various destined for holidays rather interesting possibilities, if not there would be a catch: the price! Proud 240, - EUR will cost the tent and the beginning of 2011 be available in stores. The idea is brilliant, but it is in my eyes an unbalanced compromise. I would have wished me a cheap tent for maybe 80, - Eur 240, - EUR purchase price and loyalty to the crash pad but you can buy it at once a full-fledged stand-alone tent? Perhaps there will be indeed a package price, but I have to get so far been no official statement.

The fashion label Monkee brings to the fall of 2011, a new soft shell on the market, which is like all other products in a fair and sustainable production, bridging the gap between functionality and responsibility. This have been awarded with the Marion and Hannes Industry Award 2010. The trouser collection of Monkee has a new feature in 2011: All pants have small side of the thigh pockets that can accommodate a little chalk, so that may be nachgechalkt the "fives" with the hand during the bouldering quickly. The Monkeefans be determined also pleased about the new version of the kamikaze-shirts. In blue and gray of the classics comes under the Monkee-shirt back!

X-Cult is a new Bulgarian manufacturer of climbing sculptures. At the fair he was a tiny state, but represent a more imposing sculpture more. A Boulder fungus of the first order with dimensions that are revealed as gigantic as described by the reality infarme understatement. Processing of its high technical level and with great inclination provides the first block refrigerators, concave mirror, cuts and Mantle. For this purpose it is made with perfectly flat Aufschraubflächen, many boreholes and wetterresistentem from GRP with a very fine coating. The boulder is like the mushroom's dream come GRP for bouldering in the rocky desert of the Rhine-Main-Palatinate. Was he in the first days of the fair still virgin and only occasionally provided with handles, adorned him a little later the sign "SOLD" - where the block is lost, exciting ...
Pregnant or not pregnant - the tick has Lyme disease?
Care Plus provides a quick check payable to Lyme tick bites.

Please do not forget: A Imfung TBE vaccination should still be in!

A little gem I've found on the show off the large stands: The French manufacturer NST produces small miracle lotions and gels. It is interesting for us climbers Eco Grip gel. This is a small box with a transparent gel that is supposed to work like Liquid Chalk, but no traces behind on the rock, and will also be eco-friendly to the skin. The 100ml can is 10, - EUR and cost can be ordered now. During the year there will be two more variants. With the current version I've been quite pleased: They did not so much the feeling that the Chalk had dried on the skin, but the hands are really dry completely - sorry I can not even describe in more detail. Is somehow different.
For climbers who suffer from the smell of their own feet or climbing shoes, or hall operators with rental shoes NST has several cleaners and odor control weapons program. All products are based on ecological!
As a very niche product stood on the outdoor front, the adhesive manufacturer Schwanheimer Industriekleber GmbH. A small, inconspicuous booth, almost reminiscent of vegetable slicer-stalls, aroused my interest. A glue-like liquid was used to glue different materials, or to weld. The adhesive remains liquid and can be processed here. Until it is activated by the corresponding pressure and welded the materials within seconds of each other permanently elastic. I think at times there now loosened shoe rubber, torn mats in the Boulder area, gefetzte crash pads, broken XYns ... if in fact the glue for the special needs of our climbers is suitable, I will hopefully be clarified soon exactly ...

I would have wished me a cheap tent for maybe 80, - Eur 240, - EUR purchase price and loyalty to the crash pad but you can buy it at once a full-fledged stand-alone tent? Perhaps there will be indeed a package price, but I have to get so far been no official statement.

I think at times there now loosened shoe rubber, torn mats in the Boulder area, gefetzte crash pads, broken XYns ... if in fact the glue for the special needs of our climbers is suitable, I will hopefully be clarified soon exactly ...
