Artist: Ulrich Schnauss
Venue: ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts), London
Date: 26.11.09
Time: 8.45 pm

After a brief intro from Kirsty Hawkshaw (the vocalist, wearing a rather fetching head-band of feathers), Ulrich (on the far left of stage, bent over a laptop) began the concert with several fairly formless pieces.

Sat 31 Oct – Steve Reich/London Sinfonietta

from my Tangerine Dream blog:

I was out in London last night to see Steve Reich at the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank. I was there quite early and therefore in the hall before most people had even arrived. The first half of the concert (performed by Bang on a Can and Mark Stewart) featured: 'Clapping Music', 'Electric Counterpoint' and 'Sextet'.

the fans responses, online from Sept 28th 2007:

until then: Cheers to everyone (worldwide) who's answered my questionaire (at a rough count I have about 16,000 words). But I'd still like as many people as possible to complete it.

thanks

Due to some health problems Mr. TERRY RILEY had unfortunately to cancel his European Tour
which we extremely regret and hope that he will recover soon (he's over 70 years of age now) .

The Frankfurt Opera House has now changed the concert on the 7th of October to a TANGERINE DREAM night only
titled ONE NIGHT IN SPACE. It will be a very special concert with TD tracks from all decades (no vocals)
including lots of NASA space shots as backdrop movies.

Tickets already sold will remain valid for this gig. You will also see the largest merch stand…
