"Improvising is instant composing" (Peter Erskine) This sentence pretty much describes what I have in mind when I entertain myself and play the drums: Making a musical statement on my own using theme and variation strategies, different ostinatos and all kinds of rhythmic structures on top of those, collapsed and expanded patterns, polyrhythms, rudimental passages applied to the kit ... all with my voice - the drumset. There are no cuts or edits, also this was a first take thing - no second try. It is what it is (or better say "was") at that point in time. I look at this solo as a form of self expression that takes numerous musical influences into consideration - be it by active will or unconscious actions. What you you hear is just ... me :-) Thanks to Szymon Fortuna and Justyna Janik at OPEN MINDED DRUMMING for the clip. Recorded in August 2020 while shooting educational footage for the online studies with OMD. A big shoutout also to my endorsing companies: MAPEX DRUMS - SABIAN CYMBALS - EVANS DRUMHEADS - PROMARK STICKS - GON BOPS PERCUSSION - CYMBAL RESONANCE SYSTEM. Stay tuned for more vids with a roundtrip through my kit and all the gear used, be well, stay safe and a big virtual hug to all of you out there!
