At last! "Impressions" is finally shipping in March 2005. After extensive surroundwork from Zappi and authoring work from Ramuntcho it's finally done. The bonus CD contains 4 soundtracks from my solo DVD "I spin".

I often "hear" music in pictures.
So I decided to edit old FAUST songs with percussion and sounds and add movies wich conform to my visions.
This DVD project will be released in Dolby Surround (5.1) sound wich will extremly expand the soundworld. Soon this project will be performed live on stage. The movies will be beamed on huge screens and the original music will be played back synchroniously. The extra percussion and sounds will be integrated in form of a live performance.
The work from the next project (with complitly new music) differs from the work now in the order of creation. It's not first the music and then afterwards the movies, but both are created at the same time. One piece of work (i spin) can be previewed on my website www.zappi-w-diermaier.com .
The DVD consists of 11 movie from wich 3 songs were never released.
Component is from the Wümme archive wich I collected through the years. During 1982 and 1984 I experimented a lot in the Peute Studios in Hamburg where I created d-machine.



This DVD consists of released and unreleased FAUST songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s. They where edited and remixed by me. I renamed the titles dependend to my visions concerning the specific song.
It all starts with "d-machine". This song was developed in the late 80s during some machine sound experiments in the Peute Studios Hamburg. The "d-machine" is an old and hugh Printmachine wich I recorded with 8 microphones, then edited it with several instruments and finally 2003 I implanted sounds from the Wümme years.
"Ice Rain" originally had the name "rainy day" which was developed in the beginning of the 70s. At that time we all lived and worked together in Wümme, located in the Lüneburger Heide in germany. Our Producer was Uwe Nettelbeck. Suddenly, one night (it was 4 o'clock am) Rudolf Sosna (guitar) came to my room. He was very excited and told me he had a good idea and I should come to the studio. It was in this night "rainy day" was born. I allways associated the text with snow and ice.
"Breakfast" is from our first record. It describes one of our big breakfast we had in Wümme. Normaly we had fish, meet, chees, marmalade and much more.
"Waiting for eternity" is from the second album and produces a feeling of expands and distance. In the 70s we changed the record company, from Polydor to Virgin Records. In their Studio Manor Jean-Herve Péron composed the song "Sad Skinhead".
After some years I organized a gig in the Prinzenbar in Hamburg and two years later (1992) in the Marquee Club in London. Afterwards Jean-Herve Péron and I toured throu europe. Somewhere we performed the "Sad Skinhead" from which I made my movie.
After the tour in europe we (Jean-Herve Péron and I) had a tour in the USA. Amongst others we had a performance in the desert Death Vally. Visions of harbors and indians in the movie "Desert". Our live performances were very spontaneous and most of the time we did not use any technical equipment such as samplers. Instead we made sounds with bursting glas or air hammers directly on stage and even integrated the smell of welding machines and effect smoke. We often picked up a topic like, for example fire and converted it into music. This DVD is the inversion of this idea. I added my impressions in form of movies to the music.
During the many sessions in Wümme a lot of archive material was produced which I collected. I cut the material in 1990 and in 2003 I rearranged and edited it again.
One part of that was the basis for the music to the movie "component".
"Listen". This song was recorded in San Francisco during our first USA tour.
"We need you" was produced in the 80s. We rented a house in Schwaben (germany) and jammed. One night bevor I fell asleep I listened to an organ loop made by Jochen Irmler. As I listened I clearly heard voices saying the words "wir brauchen dich" (engl.: wee need you). So I had to check outside if someone was talking. Later in the Peute Studios I remembered that scene and we added our voices saying "wir brauchen dich" to the song.
1971 in Wümme we had a neighbour whos daughter was called Irena. For her we sang the hymn "Irena" sitting on a beam.
Krautrock was the result of a session in the Manor Studio near Oxford. Later the english press made a hole music style of that name. The movie "Kraut" is a hotch potch of scenes just like sauerkraut.
