Aki Festival Documentation 2009
the topic of the festival was "Wagner is dead and i´m feeling sick too". the intodruction reading, gave a taste of the entire programme and what students, guest docents, and visitors, could expect the following four days, from tuesday til friday. from the beginning on, the atmosphere was very good and woke curiosity about everything what would follow. i was enthusiastic by the musical aspect in the master classes, wich were listed in the programme booklet. the jazzchor, leaded by John Hondorp, was a very nice end of the introduction and a better begin, for the aki and conservatorium-festival itself. i´ve already heard those kind of chorussinging and was remembered on a version of lacrimosa, performed by a group under a bridge, to get a well sounding echo, there. it was kind of the same. the first reading i visited was from "Tom Salisbury", " a musical Odyssey". i think it was a big pitty, and it would have been so much more interesting if he would have went further with the life performing, while his reading, instead of his power point presentation, because after a half and an hour he only clicks the music files and played them. the point is, that everybody can do that, at home, searching youtube or myvideo, nowadays. with his lifestory and his abilities on piano he should have followed his first idea of improvisation, talking about his life and maybe here and there, playing mp3 files. therefore he is a musician. i guess many people there thought as i did, because one could feel that after a while, sitting there, just listening to the files or waiting that he plays a video. i can honestly say, that i very much enjoyed the reading. especially the first part of it. for my part, it was a very good startday for the festival. at that tuesday i let myself inspire by everthing, and got an first overview. the next day, wednesday, i joined the "Helge Schneider" Workshop. "Helge Schneider" is a german artist, jazzmusician, abstract humorist,auther, and actor. he did a lot of, what people would call weird stuff, even if this stuff is humor. the masterclasses i participated to, were "samba band" and "koorzingen". the endpresentation on friday was a little bit disturbed by the waiting time outside, even if the wether was luckily good. i was curious about "der Ja-Sager" von Berthold Brecht. I enjoyed it, as well. The costumes were good and the sight of the chor in the back of the stage, was more than creative. The movement, combined with the singing worked well together. i wish i could have seen "Der Ring der Nibelungen" too, because i like that play and saw a tv play version before. i also have read it partly. i think i recognized a mistake in the programme booklet, because the nibelungen doesn´t have any known auther at all. it was interesting to follow the devlopment of the wallpictures. but it came out just great. the whole topic, "Wagner is dead and i´m feeling sick too" didn´t appear to me so strong. Instead of that, i got a "Pirates of the carrebian" feeling. the bridge, which was hung up, the big picture, even the colors and the eating, and the weather. i was wearing pirates clothes after the second day, because of that. i can say, that i really enjoyed the aki festival 2009 and i think it was a success.
