  • Status Quo – 03
    STATUS QUO – 03. Juni 2019 – Berlin, Tempodrom – Support: JIMMY GEE – Text und Fotos: Holger Ott Nach einem Abstecher in akustische Gefilde vor zwei Jahren sind STATUS QUO nun doch endlich wieder bei dem, was die Fans an ihnen so lieben, dem guten alten geraden Rock. Selbstverständlich extrem gitarrenlastig und natürlich voll verstärkt. Sie sind 'Back' und kündigen das lange im Voraus auf ihren schwarzweißen Plakaten an. Der Tourauftakt findet ausgerechnet in Berlin statt, dem Ort, in dem das akustische Konzert ausfallen musste. Sänger, Gitarrist, Bandgründer und letztes verbliebenes Originalmitglied FRANCIS ROSSI merkt man, trotz über fünfzigjähriger Bühnenerfahrung die Nervosität an. Er hat mehrere Texthänger und schwafelt in den Songpausen oft unverständliches 'Genuschel' ins Mikrofon. Er wird sich sicherlich im Verlauf der Tournee wieder fangen und zu gewohnter Souveränität zurückfinden, denn er macht für sein Alter doch einen körperlich sehr fitten Eindruck. Ebenso fit und garantiert nicht minder nervös und aufgeregt ist der Protagonist des Vorprogramms. JIMMY GEE aus ehemals Berlin-Spandau bestreitet, lediglich mit einer akustischen Gitarre bewaffnet, den Support. Dazu gehört schon einiges an Mut und Selbstvertrauen. Eine halbe Stunde wird ihm gewährt und in dieser Zeit möchte er es erreichen, das Publikum von sich zu überzeugen, was ihm bereits nach den ersten drei Songs gelingt. Wer ist dieser JIMMY GEE, fragen sich sicher viele Besucher im Tempodrom. Vorabinformation gibt es leider so gut wie keine, aber wie der Zufall so spielt, ist meinem Kollegen MIKE und mir JIMMY bereits seit über einem Jahrzehnt bestens bekannt und wir haben ihn in der Vergangenheit oft in seinem Studio besucht. Umso größer unsere Freude, ihn auf der Bühne im Tempodrom zu sehen.

    UNC Festival on the Hill 2016 MUSIC, SCIENCE, & NATURE April 1-April 3, 2016 UNC-Chapel Hill ! Preface to Festival on the Hill 2016 Welcome to our 2016 Department of Music Festival on the Hill! Our biennial festivals, begun in 2002, are designed by music faculty to explore scholarly and creative research interests with members of our university, visiting scholars and our community. We look forward to three stimulating days of conversation with you dur- ing this year's festival which explores the intersection between music, science and nature. Louise Toppin Chair, Department of Music University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Preface to Music, Science, and Nature The study of music has long been closely intertwined with the natural sciences. It is well known that the early Greeks included music in their quadrivium of core scholarly subjects, along with arithmetic, geometry, and astronomy. From a musical perspective, scientific principles underlie nearly every step of the musical pro- cess, including the acoustic foundations of harmony and voice-leading, the mathematics of its structural organi- zation, the construction of both acoustic and electronic instruments, and the physiology of hearing. Likewise, the study of music and sound is found in diverse scientific fields, such as animal communication and birdsong, soundscape ecology, seismology, and astronomy. This festival will explore the many current and historical intersections and influences between music and the natural world. A host of local and visiting scholars, composers, scientists, and performers will be partic- ipating in this multi-disciplinary celebration. On behalf of the Department of Music at UNC-Chapel Hill, we welcome you to participate in the conversation and enjoy the music.
