"Estamos en Valley Ford. Mi nombre es Chenjo. The place is called Little Amsterdam." Erzähler Ein Punkt an der langen, leeren Straße, irgendwo zwischen Bodega Bay, wo Hitchcock seine "Vögel" drehte und den Grashügeln von Sonoma County, die sich jetzt braun und struppig unter der Mittagssonne ducken. Die kleine Windmühle, die Werbetafeln sind verschwunden, selbst das Schild "Geschlossen" ist weg. Spinnweben und Staub, zerborstenes Glas, wirre Wasserleitungen, Gerümpel im Hinterhof - das ist der Rest vom Little Amsterdam. Und Chenjo.

Erzähler Das Little Amsterdam war einst ein Restaurant, ein flacher Holzbau, Tische, Stühle, ein Tresen, einige leere Zimmer, verriegelt. Seit fünf Jahren steht es zum Verkauf. Chenjo der Mexikaner hat hier lange die Austern gekocht. Heute schneidet er nur noch das Gras in seinem kleinen Garten. Eines Tages, so erinnert er sich, kam dann dieser Typ. Synchro 1 3-25/OT Chenjo "Mein Chef hat zu ihm gesagt: warte ich mache alles sauber, ich räume auf. Aber der Typ hat gesagt, nein, lass alles wie es ist. Ich will das schmutzig, das ist gut so für meine Videos. Es gab auch Spinnen, aber alles kein Problem für den Typen (lacht)…" "My boss looking I wanna see clean, you know. But the guy said No! No necessario clean I want it dury. It's ok for my movies or videos or something. No problema, spiders or whatever, it's ok, no problema." Erzähler Der Typ war Tom Waits. Und im Little Amsterdam hat er hin und wieder SWR2 MANUSKRIPT mal Interviews gegeben und Videos gedreht. Im Hinterhof, wo er zwischen Sperrmüll, verrosteten Boilern und seinen Schrottinstrumenten hin und her gehüpft ist. Ein Ort, der zu Tom Waits passt - oder zu seinem Image. Der "Sperrmüllmusiker", der über die amerikanischen Albträume singt, vielmehr krächzt. Er wohnt ein paar Hügel weiter, hier oben in Sonoma County, nördlich von San Francisco. Näher werde ich nicht an ihn rankommen, hier ist Endstation - für mich und meine Suche nach Tom Waits. Ich bin ihm durch ganz Amerika gefolgt, auf seinem Weg bis ins ländliche Nordkalifornien, wo die Krähen den Ton angeben und der Wind ihm die Geschichten verfallender Schuppen zuraunt.

Der erste Song des Albums "OL'55" erzählt vom Lover, der am frühen Morgen seine Liebste verlässt und mit seinem Buick Baujahr 1955 durch die Straßen kreuzt. Die EAGLES covern den Song 1974, ein Radiohit im Sonnen beschienenen Kalifornien. Waits ist außer sich - Easy-Going-Westküsten-Rock ist nicht seine Welt.

  • Woyzeck Bursts Onto the Ensemble Theatre Company Stage
    MEDIA RELEASE CONTACT: Josh Gren [email protected] or 805.965.5400 x103 ELECTRIFYING TOM WAITS MUSICAL WOYZECK BURSTS ONTO THE ENSEMBLE THEATRE COMPANY STAGE March 25, 2015 – Santa Barbara, CA — The influential 19th Century play about a soldier fighting to retain his humanity has been transformed into a tender and carnivalesque musical by the legendary vocalist, Tom Waits. “If there’s one thing you can say about mankind,” the show begins, “there’s nothing kind about man.” The haunting opening phrase is the heart of the thrilling, bold, and contemporary English adaptation of Woyzeck – the classic German play, being presented at Ensemble Theatre Company this April. Inspired by the true story of a German soldier who was driven mad by army medical experiments and infidelity, Georg Büchner’s dynamic and influential 1837 poetic play was left unfinished after the untimely death of its author. In 2000, Waits and his wife and collaborator, Kathleen Brennan, resurrected the piece, wrote music for an avant-garde production in Denmark, and the resulting work became a Woyzeck musical and an album entitled “Blood Money.” “[The music] is flesh and bone, earthbound,” says Waits. “The songs are rooted in reality: jealousy, rage…I like a beautiful song that tells you terrible things. We all like bad news out of a pretty mouth.” Woyzeck runs at the New Vic Theater from April 16 – May 3 and opens Saturday, April 18. Jonathan Fox, who has served as ETC’s Executive Artistic Director since 2006, will direct the ambitious, wild, and long-awaited musical. “It’s one of the most unusual productions we’ve undertaken,” says Fox.

Først av alt vil jeg takke min veileder, Stan Hawkins, for gode innspill og råd. Jeg vil også takke ham for å svare på alle mine dumme (og mindre dumme) spørsmål til alle døgnets tider. Spesielt i den siste hektiske perioden har han vist stor overbærenhet med meg, og jeg har mottatt hurtige svar selv sene fredagskvelder! Jeg skulle selvfølgelig ha takket Tom Waits personlig, men jeg satser på at han leser dette på sin ranch i «Nowhere, California». Han har levert et materiale som det har vært utrolig morsomt og givende å arbeide med. Videre vil jeg takke samboeren min og mine to stadig større barn. De har latt meg sitte nede i kjellerkontoret mitt helg etter helg, og all arbeidsroen jeg har hatt kan jeg takke dem for. Jeg lover dyrt og hellig å gjengjelde tjenesten. Min mor viste meg for noen år siden at det faktisk var mulig å fullføre en masteroppgave, selv ved siden av en krevende fulltidsjobb og et hektisk familieliv. Det har gitt meg troen på prosjektet, selv om det til tider var slitsomt. Til sist vil jeg takke min far, som gikk bort knappe fire måneder før denne oppgaven ble levert. Han var alltid opptatt av at mine brødre og jeg skulle ha stor frihet til å forfølge våre interesser, og han skal ha mye av æren for at han til slutt endte opp med tre sønner som alle valgte musikk som sin studieretning.

  • “BLOOD MONEY Ed ALICE” by Pasquale Boffoli
    “BLOOD MONEY ed ALICE” by Pasquale Boffoli SOLDI SPORCHI DI SANGUE e FAVOLE-NUVOLE ! Due dischi di Tom Waits che escono in contemporanea! La notizia quando iniziò a trapelare qualche tempo fa, mandò i fedelissimi dell'impareggiabile songwriter (ed anche chi scrive!) in 'brodo di giuggiole'. Waits é come un male oscuro: una volta che ne rimani infettato non solo é impossibile trovarne l'antidoto, ma non vuoi proprio trovarlo! Il suo microcosmo musicale é ormai da tempo fuori dai trends e dai corsi e ricorsi che abbondano nel rock e pop-system: chiuso in se stesso, claustrofobico, burbero, esso é il risultato di un percorso eclettico e personalissimo che ha permesso agli iniziali profondi amori blues e jazz be-bop (con filo diretto con la beat-generation letteraria degli anni '50) di incrociarsi strada facendo con le suggestioni della cultura mitteleuropea dei primi decenni del '900, il cabaret di Kurt Weill in primo luogo. Quello che pareva agli occhi dei puristi un connubio se non impossibile perlomeno azzardato é divenuto invece tenacemente e semplicemente 'Tom Waits mood', atemporale e sospeso perennemente come un equilibrista sul filo sottile delle emozioni. Mule Variations (1999) era stato un disco carnoso e terreno, ombrosamente blues: BLOOD MONEY ed ALICE, ricavati da due lavori teatrali rappresentati in Europa nel 2.000 con la regia di Robert Wilson ed interamente musicati da Waits in simbiosi con la sua preziosa ed amata compagna Kathleen Brennan, sono invece calati in una densa dimensione espressionista, e portano impressi come un marchio i segni della colonna sonora. Soprattutto Blood Money che dei due dischi é il più sagomato ed incisivo: contiene le canzoni che hanno sottolineato la piéce teatrale Woyzeck, tratta dall'omonimo lavoro del poeta realista George Buchner che narro' nell'800 per la prima volta nella letteratura tedesca l'esistenza infelice di un uomo del popolo.
