THORSTEN QUAESCHNING behind closed doors with​​.​​​.​​​.​​ KRISTOF HAHN released October 8, 2020 music: Thorsten Quaeschning, Kristof Hahn Thorsten Quaeschning Synthesizer, Piano, Electric Guitar, E-Kalimba, Soundbox, Sequencer Kristof Hahn Lap-Steel-Guitar, Electric Guitar, Vocals Artwork: Adrian Bang Mixed by Thorsten Quaeschning at TownendStudio / Berlin (c) all rights reserved Behind closed doors 8th October 2020 01:01:38 about THORSTEN QUAESCHNING behind closed doors with... - Season 2 The idea to BEHIND CLOSED DOORS was born in the first week of lockdown in Berlin. The world stops turning. Every concert is cancelled, musicians have to interrupt their tours. Berlin concert halls remain empty. Film producers are affected as well. Every production is on hold. Should we wait till everything is back to normal? Two weeks and fifty phone calls later the first edition of BEHIND CLOSED DOORS is ready. Everybody lends a helping hand, nobody asks for money. A private sponsor pays for electricity and crew in the UFA Fabrik Berlin, whose board spontaneously gives us a go for recording – not on the stage, but in front of it. The place where you usually find the audience standing and cheering. The musicians are more than happy to be able to play again and also give their best. A small film production team, a director and a cameraman, records the event with five cameras and cuts the show live. Two times a week – every Monday and Thursday evening – the first twelve sessions are being streamed for free on up to ten channels worldwide. They range from 40 to 65 minutes. Some of them reach up to 25.000 views. Almost everyone who starts a session watches till the end, close to nobody leaves the session early. Hundreds, even thousands of fans connect in the chatroom and celebrate the music in the comment section. The musicians actively participate in the live-chat every time. It might not be the entirely the same but the atmosphere and overall feeling is almost like experiencing real live concerts. Thorsten Quaeschning (Tangerine Dream, Picture Palace music) and his music define the style of the sessions in the UFA Fabrik and also of the second edition of BEHIND CLOSED DOORS produced in the LIDO in Berlin, Kreuzberg. His real-time-composing / improvisation skills give the guest musicians a great space to show their art and talent. Bringing such different musicians and music genres together creates magical moments in every session.

Quote from Kristof Hahn: "very glad to have been given the opportunity to contribute to this amazing album......"Marie-Claire Schlameus’s cello and Kristof Hahn’s slide guitar creep around the arrangements with the finesse of art thieves...."".

What concert would you say brought and formed your style of music?

I was listening a lot of different music in the 70s, once I was a teenager. I went to every show that happened in my hometown, which was like once a month, just to see bands perform life. It was a lot of blues-rock and prog-rock in those days. At some point I saw Roxy Music in a German tv, and that pretty much changed everything for me. It was totally different approach and then later on in 1976-77 punk rock broke out, encouraged me to make music myself. Because at that point I thought, you have to have incredible knowledge of  music and musical skills to play something like “Genesis” or “Yes”, or “Emerson, Lake & Palmer”.  I did have classical guitar lessons at that point. I kept the skills, but I through most of the attitude overboard and just used the musical vocabulary that was not so common in the punk music. I must say, I was not really a punk rocker, since I didn't come from a proletarian background. I did go to a pretty good school and I've studied at the University at some point. So, I didn't feel that, classwhise, I was one of the punk rock movement. Aesthetically too. I thought it was slightly too limiting, which is why I was more into experimental new music at that time, like the New York new wave movement (if it can be called “movement”), or the British new wave movement - Joy Division, Factory bands and so on. The most impressive show that I saw. Or the show that made a real impact on me was when I moved to Berlin in 1980. In 1981 I saw the Glenn Branca ensemble at SO36, which was just four guitars, bass and drums. It was music I've never heard before and I thought that was a territory worth exploring.

Концерты каких исполнителей повлияли на твой стиль в музыке?

Тогда я слушал очень много разной музыки, ещё тинейджером в 70-е. Я ходил на каждое шоу у нас в городе, что случалось только раз в месяц, чтобы только увидеть живое исполнение. Много было в те дни блюз-рока и прог-рока. Однажды, я увидел Roxy Music по телевизору, и это всё во мне перевернуло. У них был совершенно другой подход! А когда прорвался панк-рок в 1976-1977 годах, я решился сам заняться музыкой. До того я думал, что необходимо гигантское количество знаний и умений, чтобы стать таким как “Genesis”, “Yes” или “Emerson, Lake & Palmer”. В то время я уже брал уроки на классической гитаре. Умения я сохранил, подход не стал. Умения я использовал как музыкальный словарь, что было не слишком распространено среди панк-музыкантов. Должен сказать, я никогда не причислял себя к панк-рокерам, так как никогда к ним не принадлежал. Я ходил в хорошую школу и закончил Университет, так что не мог считать себя частью движения. И в то же время, мне казалась панк-рок музыка лимитированной, поэтому меня больше увлекала как движение экспериментальная музыка, вроде Нью-Йоркской новой волны (если её можно назвать движением) или Британской -  Joy Division, группы с Factory Records и прочие. Самое увлекательное шоу я увидел уже после переезда в Берлин. В 1981 году я ходил на концерт Glenn Branca в SO36. Среди них было всего четыре гитариста, бас и барабаны - раньше никогда не слышал подобной музыки и это обещало грандиозное пространство для эксперимента.

How did Berlin influenced you into what you are doing now  musically? What is your way?

I met a lot of people in Berlin, who were doing many things in all kinds of fields. So, it was very inspiring time. On top of that, since the rents were so cheap - it's comparable to a Low East Side of New York in the late 70s or 80s - you had a lot of free time, because you didn't have to work all day long and half the night just to be able to afford your apartment. So, people would have time to do things they wanted to do and not things they had to do just to survive. It was a pretty luxurious situation in those days.

Как Берлин повлиял на твоё творчество?

Вдохновляло знакомство с людьми разнообразных занятий. Оттого что арендовать жильё было не так дорого (сравнимо с Восточным Нью-Йорков в те дни), многие могли работать в полсилы. Это была довольно люксовая обстановка, но ты мог заниматься любимым делом, а не пахать день и ночь, чтобы прокормить себя.

[kristofhahn667]

Why do you play alone, and what brought you to start solo projects? 

Playing alone has two advantages. “A”, I am more flexible in terms of availability - I don´t have to coordinate holidays and vacations if we were to travel to play somewhere else. Second reason is that some of material that I do is not made for the band and would be overblown if it was arranged for the band. The beauty of it lays more in the reduction. I don´t want four people stand around me and doing nothing, while I´m doing something. That won´t make any sense.      

Почему ты играешь один? Что привело тебя к исполнению соло? 

Первое, это конечно моя маневренность, иначе говоря - доступность. Мне не надо ни с кем согласовывать поездку. Второе, это отличие материала. Это было бы перебор, аранжировать его для группы. Некоторые мои идеи, не нуждаются в этом. Их красота в лаконичности.
