Michaela Melián Trio at Stoff-Pavillon Möller. Beautiful concert at a fantastic place that is almost unreal to exist in central Cologne.

Wenn ich durch die in jüngerer Zeit gentrifizierten Viertel Münchens radel, find ich immer wieder erschütternd, wie wenig die Leute aus dem vielen Geld machen. Du findest keinen einzigen originellen Gedanken in einem solchen Stadtbild.

German chancellor Merz saying the quiet part out loud. Asked about migration, he praises himself for reducing numbers by 60 percent, but “we still have the issue of visibility in our cities” (“im Stadtbild noch dieses Problem”). Welcome to Germany in 2025.
Migration und das Stadtbild... bemerkenswerte Aussage von #Merz: "Bei der Migration sind wir sehr weit [...] Aber wir haben natürlich immer im Stadtbild noch dieses Problem und deswegen ist der Bundesinnenminister ja auch dabei jetzt in sehr großem Umfang auch Rückführungen zu ermöglichen" 1/x

Stefanie Schrank‘s Crossfade on @staatsakt.bsky.social. There‘s Kraut in it, there‘s ABC, and there‘s a lot of Pop, first and foremost.

Last weekend, I went to see Cage, Cunningham, Johns, Rauschenbach and Twombly at ML, only to learn that the exhibition would start a week later. I went to their Contemporary Section in the basement instead - which I don‘t go too often and didn‘t expect too much of.

Cologne Jazzweek started with Mumble Jazz for me - a four-piece from the area, somewhere in between Ornette and Jay-Z, on what turned out to be a beautiful late summer’s afternoon.

As they just put out their 500th release, I’ve revisited some of the tracks that were released on #Kompakt Records in the past weeks. Looking back the Kompakt catalogue is quite diverse - the idea of Sound of Cologne is more a description of a place & scene rather than a sound or style.

Escape-Ism yesterday at 674FM in Cologne. Hottest concert in a long time and they were burning on stage, too.

Bex Burch & Peter Zummo at Eigelstein-Torburg/CGN.

I really, really enjoyed this after a much too busy day. Seeing Bex Burch for the first time, being aware of the method, process and attitude how she creates music somehow changes the way I am listening to the recordings. @intlanthem.bsky.social

On 15 January, Joy Division played in Cologne at the crypt of a Protestant church called “Basement“. Ian Curtis had a seizure on stage. Not a proper club at all (but more of a community center), there are still concerts at “Basement”. Tonight played Hamburg’s Boy Division.

A fizzy pop song about a spring romance written in winter’s darkest month, when the atmosphere is so cold that mother-of-pearl clouds appear on the horizon.

Nachthorn - Ouverture

Different kind of snthesizer music: The organ at St. Antonius (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Ant... ) in Düsseldorf is midi-ready and can be fully controlled by computer. Maxime Denuc recorded a beautiful ambient record on it.
