For this record FS Blumm has written some of his most light-hearted
tunes, accompanied by NY trumpeter Luca Fadda. Wonderful guitar and
double bass lines are mixed with edited toy instruments and found
objects. The new dimension of this album is the collaboration with Luca
Fadda who places digitally processed trumpets on top of F.S. Blumm's
material. These sometimes improvised elements add a new aspect to F.S.
Blumm's music and create a live feeling in which the trumpet and toy
sounds form an experimental but harmonic interaction.
There are two 15 minute pieces on this album: one is `Ricke and Dina`, the other is `Giorgi and Lucy´.
`Giorgi and Lucy´ was inspired by the last piece of a live set at the
`epistrophy´ in New York on December 1st 2006 where Luca Fadda and
F.S.Blumm met on stage. ‚Ricke and Dina' is based on a performance done
in front of a childrens-audience during the presentation of a Peruvian
fair trade collection of children`s wear at the belleville-store in
Berlin on the afternoon of Oct. 1st 2005. Then F.S. Blumm did some
overdubs in his 7 square meter storeroom (guitar, bass and tons of
toys) and sent a CD-R to New York where in the spring of 2007 Luca
Fadda recorded all the effected and uneffected trumpets on all tracks
at Jason Candler`s Studio.
F.S.Blumm has released several solo works on labels like Morr,
Staubgold and Plop, plays in the duo Sack und Blumm, writes radio plays
and released his first book of drawings on Ahornfelder last year.
