TEHO TEARDO & BLIXA BARGELD

In the multifaceted work of Teho Teardo and Blixa Bargeld, their joint ventures have long become a constant since the celebrated debut STILL SMILING (2013), occupying a special place in the overall oeuvre of both solo artists with each new flash of creativity. In the delicate interplay between the Italian composer and the German Dada veteran Bargeld (Einstürzende Neubauten), avant-garde and tenderness, cacophony and composition, language abyss and beauty merge. It is to be expected that their loyal following of fans has long been waiting to finally learn more about this unique collaboration. This wait will come to an end later this year, which promises to be joyful on several levels – in retrospect, in the authentic experience of the present, and in outlook: a live album of the legendary 2022 performance at Silent Green, an old crematorium in Berlin’s Wedding district, has been announced, along with a European tour (dates below), and perhaps as a harbinger of a third album, an EP with new music.

Live, Bargeld and Teardo will share the stage with solo cellist Laura Bisceglia and Gabriele Coen on bass clarinet, who, supported by a string quartet, will perform pieces from the meandering body of work influenced by philosophy and art history. But there will also be new pieces to hear, emerging these days for the aforementioned and yet untitled EP: BISOGNA MORIRE, also known as HOMO FUGIT VELUT UMBRA (One flees like a shadow), a passacaglia and a kind of danse macabre, the already existing piece STARKREGEN, RIMANGONO (translated: "Remain!" - a greeting from the post-war era), and DEAR CARLO, which Blixa wrote in correspondence with an Italian astrophysicist, with whom he exchanges thoughts (not without humor) about the nature of the universe. First impressions promise that the space created between Bargeld’s multifaceted voice, his unparalleled body of text, and Teardo’s complex arrangements has gained in depth.
