RE:VIEW | to draw some attention – preparing to release my third music album | tr2 men zen | it’s time for a re:view, here‘s a photograph taken approx. between 1979-81 playing my Fender Rhodes and Korg Delta. Dating is sure after the 1979 summer since there’s the “Rock gegen Rechts” sticker from the first open air in Frankfurt where I went on the back of the Rhodes. More soon…

I’m happy to announce that on March, 7, 2021 my second album | insomnios | was released with the help of MusicHub and will be step by step AVAILABLE @ amazon music / apple music/iTunes / Deezer / Napster / Spotify | more will follow…

I originally composed the music of this album for the theatre dance performance INSOMNIOS, LOT Theater, Braunschweig, 2001, and performed it live on stage. You’ll find more images of rehearsals and the perfomances in the previous and the following posts. I soon later rerecorded all tracks live in studio and with a few modifications put the album together. Even though several record labels showed interest in the music in the following years I couldn’t get it published. Now finally, almost exactly 20 years later I took the chance with a new publishing concept of MusicHub, Berlin. Many thanks to everyone at MusicHub!! The album was released on March, 7, 2021.

re:view for two reasons | in memoriam anzu furukawa | insomnios | music by wolfgang in der wiesche

This post is here for two reasons, one to come up in the following posts, another to commemorate a friend, artist and Butoh dancer Anzu Furukawa. 20 years back, in 2001, the theatre dance performance | insomnios | was staged in January at the LOT Theater, Braunschweig, Germany. The perfomance was created by an international collaboration group of artists (Germany, Japan, Mexico, China) in the beginning also with Anzu Furukawa, who later on had to leave the scene, went to hospital and soon later passed away. These photographs were taken during the first rehearsals in winter 2000/2001.

from the original invitation, 2001:

INSOMNIOS | Dance – Painting – Music

The literary point of departure for INSOMNIOS is the novel “The Sleeping Beauties” by the Japanese Nobel Prize winner for literature, Yasunari Kawabata. Kawabata’s novel is a meditation:
….about love, Eros and death ….about youth and old age ….about vitality and weariness of life ….about demarcation and fusion ….about the fleeting nature of human existence.

INSOMNIOS is not a narrative translation of the novel onto the stage, but a personal approach of the artists to these central themes.

Dance: Graciela Gonzalez de la Fuente, Anton Reza
Painting: Chen Yun Wang
Music and composition: Wolfgang in der Wiesche
Idea: Graciela G. de la Fuente and Chen Yun Wang
A production in cooperation with Dieter Krockauer and the LOT-Theatre Braunschweig.

Premiere: 17 January 2001, 8 pm.
Further performances: 18, 19, 26, 27, 28 January and 1, 2, 3, 4 February, each at 8 pm.

At the same time, we would like to point out in advance that the Japanese dancer Anzu Furukawa had to cancel her participation at short notice for health reasons, which she herself and we (the production team) very much regret. We were therefore forced to change our plans quickly and are pleased to have found a replacement in the Mexican dancer Anton Reza, who is certainly just as artistically stimulating.

more to come…

just a few comments on the album:

Yes-I got your music and love it, very very quircky, unusual stuff you have there. Bob Ostertag (USA)
CD and catalog, all interesting…   Chris Cutler (UK)
Dear Wolfgang, finally found the chance to listen to your CD…which I enjoyed very much…. nice aesthetics.  best, Jon Rose (AUS)
… Your sounds are so great and I really enjoyed it !, …   Kiichiro Hayashi (JAP)
 … In fact, the cutter sounds like a pair of old rusty scissors, a typical old fashion China made home scissors. My first response when first listen to it is: It’s speaking. Not only this one, I like some other tracks too. It is short but so well structured. It doesn’t sound like improvised to me. I wonder if you are able to play this music live because I would always like to play live on what the music is like …   Chan Wai Fat (HONG KONG)
  … die cd ist natürlich spitze. die musik, die mir sofort entsprach-… schön, … Saadet Türköz (SWITZERLAND)

Mr. Click (lucky man opera) | wanna hear me sing? | originally from 1998 | Project MSol – Michel Roth & Wolfgang in der Wiesche

it’s time to finally post some music… | I wrote the lyrics and basic composition back then in 1998 when I was playing and performing with the band pick pocket, based in Braunschweig, Germany. The original arrangement for the song was then done by the band. Michel Roth, drummer and singer of pick pocket, recomposed/rearranged the track in 2003 as far as my memory is correct. He then made Mr. Click available to the public on his Project MSol account  and here it is – and here are the lyrics:

Mr Click

--

you know - 	there was this - tic-toc / tic-toc

anyway - 	I didn't have to do anything with it...
		and I don't have now

		once I had different names
		but never I had one like: Franz, Willi, John
		if you'd ever like to call me
		perhaps I'd prefer - Mr. Click!

		yes, Mr. Click, that's realistic!

		hello, Mr. Click, how are you??
		hatten sie schöne Ferien, Mr. Click?

		yes - oh yes...
--

you know - 	I'm sure you'll take me for a real person
		that I never was

		then you'll try to cut my freedom
		my moving around, meine Erscheinung

		but - you're wrong

		I'm not what you think I am
so - 		don't talk to me with Schimmel on your tongue

		don't try to make a man out of me
		don't call me: Karl - or Herby - or Horst

--

		my name is - something like a special price
		or, if you like so, a toffee

		you wouldn't have the time to pronounce it right
		if you'd ever recognize what I'm here for


uhh - 		what a lucky man... he was...
uhh - 		what a lucky man... he was...
