Sasha Pushkin on Myspace and…

www.myspace.com/sashapushkin

Many people asked for it.

Now itґs there. Still something to do there.

Donґt know if Iґll be able to update it regularly.

Didnґt invite any friends yet... may be one day.

But check it out and join in, if you want to.

After our live music session, when I talked to Laptoper Tomoki, he sad:
“ you are on Myspace and didnґt invite any friends?”
I sad: “yes”
He laughed and laughed…. And then he sad:
“I want to go to St. Petersburg, I never was in Russia”
I sad: “ Tomoki, I also never was in Japan and I want to go there.
So, lets make a tour in Russia and Japan… I even have an idea of a project…
Tomoki smiled…  I ask myself now: What did this smile mean?  A smile of Japanese Electronic music freak.  Anyway, thank you Tomoki for a “sigy”. One day Iґll quit.

About this video:

Concept by Chrsiatian Kersten:

STILLE POST | CHINESE WHISPER

A song wanders through musicians of different kinds.

Two people meet, the one teaches a song to the other. The other makes his/her own version and teaches it to the next. But there is the rule, that for teaching you have only 20 min. and for making the own version only 40 min. The song wanders through 10 different musicians, through 10 different languages.
In the concert all 10 versions are presented and the listeners can follow the development and change of the song. With Meteor Motel, Andrew Smith, Volker Schindel, spiel mal feat. keller.kind, 19/19, Bill Dietz, Kati Linek, Hans-Ulrich Altenkirch and Sasha Pushkin! Sasha was the last to perform.

Film Music

I started to work on "Hollywood archaeology" – an experimental film by Lowell Darling...
Very interesting kind of creative process...  Iґm using original noises & sounds of the films, cutting, stretching them, and mix it up with my own noises and rhythms…and  compose music, using different sound sources…  We are not on hurry.. and this is good so….

New concept for a concert
Checked an old and a little broken organ in the modern Church:
Litzow Kirche – Berlin. Great sound!
The idea is to make an Organ concert, in collaboration with Mr. MRTZ – a great Light Artist...
This will be my first real acoustic improvised organ concert.

Had a session

On the 4th of April In RAW Tempel - Club was a 10 Years Jubilee of Didges Brew group....
Came there... full of people… many musicians on stage... great fun... funky world music..
They call it didgeridoo big beat. Didgeridoos, drums, DJ, Electronic, percussion, guitar, keys, brass etc.. Special guests… Fanfara Kalashnikov group with there Balkan Groove..
Got a mike to sing... I love it! Dance... sing... rap...move to the groove...
Thank you Marc and Tayfun for the invitation…thank you, public!

New concepts:

Checked some locations in Berlin for the new project in the “Piano collaborations” field…

And also some possibly good places and films for our new silent film music project…

As always – it will take some time…
