Rum und Sauerkraut (original version)
Like 'Searching', this piece is inspired by the music from the German group Hoelderlin. It was meant to by a part of a suite, based on the lyrics of the song Rare bird. I wrote the part on the 5th of August 1993 and completed it as a independent composition in June and July 1994. I gave the song this title because on the debut-album of the group stood after the name of the drummer: "er spielt gerne Rum und aß viel Sauerkraut", which can be translated as: "he likes to play rum and ate lots of sauerkraut".
Recorded: 11/7/'94
Instruments used for the recording: E-mu Proteus/1, Kawai K1 rII, Yamaha TX81Z, Bit 99
On Februari 17th 2002, I recorded a slightly new version on CDr. The Bit 99 is replaced by the soundcard of my computer. This version is lost, because the CDR is defected. There is only a MP3 version left on SoundClick
Recorded: 17/2/2002
Instruments used for the recording: E-mu Proteus/1, Kawai K1 rII, Yamaha TX81Z, Soundblaster Live! Platinum
When I got my sampler, I decided to make a slight re-arrangement, by using the sampler for the piano, viola, flute, tenor- and alto saxophone.

about

Rare Bird Productions Netherlands

At the end of 1994, I started using the name Rare Bird Productions, to pay a tribute to my favorite group Hoelderlin. This German group has recorded a song called ‘Rare bird', which I liked very much. Besides this, I felt the lyrics, which were about the German poet Friedrich Hölderlin, described my own feelings as well. ... more
