Schwupp die Wupp, da war die Stunde rum und ich musste schnell los zum Soundcheck... Schade, denn das Gespräch mit Dirk Brand war so interessant und unterhaltsam, dass ich den Soundcheck fast vergessen hatte. Eines steht fest, es wird einen zweiten Teil geben. Aber bevor der kommt, spule ich ein wenig zurück: Es muss irgendwann 1997 oder 98 gewesen sein, als ich von meinem Bruder das Buch "Thousand Faces" geschenkt bekam. "Das musst du sehen, da ist alles drin, was du brauchst und dazu auch noch eine ganze Sammlung an coolen Play Alongs!" So kannte ich ihn gar nicht, so begeistert; und ja, es war wirklich etwas besonderes dieses Buch. Es kam direkt in mein Schlagzeugbuchregal in Griffweite zum Schlagzeug Set. Immer wieder stöberte ich darin herum, wenn ich gerade einen bestimmten Groove brauchte. Ein paar Jahre später packte mich das "Elektro-Fieber" und es gab da ein Buch: "Future Drumming", welches verhieß, ein Tor in die Welt der programmierten Beats am Set zu öffnen. Also kaufte ich das Buch, baute drei Snares auf und war fleißig dabei, Drum and Bass Beats zu üben. Etwas später blätterte ich immer wieder im Buch "Chart Reading" - warum gibt es nicht mehr dieser Bücher, in denen man beigebracht bekommt, wie man am besten Kicks spielt, fragte ich mich... Was ich nicht wusste, war, dass der Autor dieser Bücher ein und dieselbe Person ist: Dirk Brand. Heute hat er auf seinem Track Record nicht nur diese Bücher zu verzeichnen, sondern ist auch Co-Host des Schlagzeug Podcast Schlagabtausch und Drummer der Band Axxis. Und was ein Zufall, damals, als ich die Bücher voller Begeisterung las, lief vielleicht im Hintergrund genau diese Musik dazu. Es gibt einiges zu erzählen in dieser Episode. Also, let's go! Die Bücher kannst du bspw hier bestellen: https://www.amazon.de/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3ADirk%2BBrand&s=relevancerank&text=Dirk+Brand&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1 Den Podcast Schlagabtausch hier: https://open.spotify.com/show/3izN76Hh5VlrfFBqH3A10T?si=9309696186144249 Mehr zu Dirk findest du hier: https://www.dirkbrand.com/ Auf Instagram hier: https://www.instagram.com/drummybrand/ Ich freu mich tierisch, wenn du auf der Seite von Einfach Schlagzeug mal vorbeischaust unter https://einfachschlagzeug.de/ Timecodes: 0:00:09 - Start 0:02:00 - Der Steckbrief 0:29:50 - So viele gute Bücher 0:47:46 - Schnellfragerunde

Currently, 1,648 people in Slovakia are living with HIV. In 2024 alone, 63 new cases have been diagnosed. While proper treatment can ensure the virus poses no risk to others, including partners, societal stigma remains strong. Many people, including medical professionals, still lack sufficient knowledge about what it truly means to be HIV positive. Find out more in the interview with HIV/AIDS Slovensko director Ján Koller and deputy director Miroslav Krajčoviech. Another epiode of Slovak Sound Check is waiting for you, too.

The fiddler Mark O'Connor is probably best known for his million-selling Appalachian Waltz project – a kind of chamber/folk album with famed cellist Yo Yo Ma and bassist Edgar Meyer. Mark has also written string quartets, concertos, and orchestral pieces – and they all come from the same place as his solo fiddle sets – everything is rooted in the sounds of American music, especially bluegrass. Maggie O'Connor is also a fiddler, and singer, who moves easily between those two worlds, and together, this husband-and-wife team have been touring with a program called Beethoven and Bluegrass. There's no Beethoven today for this session, but hear some O'Connor classics, old and new, in-studio. Set list: 1. Limerock 2. We Just Happened To Fly 3. Appalachia Waltz

Since 1981, Welsh musician Mike Peters has been the voice of the hit-making British band The Alarm. After the band split up in 1991, Peters wrote and released solo work, before reconstituting The Alarm in 2000, (Wikipedia.) Since being diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia in 2005 (he is also co-founder of the Love Hope Strength Foundation), Mike Peter's career has been largely determined by the cycle of remission and relapse. But to listen to The Alarm's 2023 album Forwards, and you'll hear a man whose songwriting is as anthemic as ever, and, yes, determinedly forward looking. Mike Peters played some of these new songs, as well as one of the band's old hits, on acoustic baritone guitar, in-studio. (From the archives, 2023.) Set list: "Forwards", "Next", "The Stand" Watch "Forwards": Watch "Next": Watch "The Stand":

King Hannah is an indie-rock duo from Liverpool consisting of singer and songwriter Hannah Merrick and guitarist Craig Whittle. Their latest album, Big Swimmer, seems to be the result of Merrick's observations after touring around the United States, where it wasn't the big cities or expansive vistas that inspired her songs, but the little moments and conversations and observations – details that inspire songs that can be drily funny, unsettling, or both. She also toggles between a kind of pitched speech and outright singing over moody electrified rockenroll - sometimes fuzz-drenched, sometimes jangly. King Hannah plays in-studio. Set list: 1. New York Let's Do Nothing 2. Crème Brûlée 3. Big Swimmer

Bab L'Bluz is a French-Moroccan band playing a distinctive band of rock, one that's built on the sounds of North and West African music, and on the Blues. The band was born from the dream of propelling Guembri (the Gnawa's guitar) on the international music scene of contemporary music, and has expanded to include electric mandole and electric ribab. They've released two albums on Peter Gabriel's Real World record label, the most recent of which is called Swaken – kind of a “Losing yourself to find yourself” trance state, (Bandcamp's Swaken liner notes.) Bab l'BLuz plays their “Hot Psychedelic Gnawa Blues!”, in-studio. Set list: 1."Ila Mata" 2."Imazighen" 3."IWAIWA FUNK"

In this episode of "Sound Check," hosts Isaac Koens and Devin Foote bring on special guest Noah Leduc to discuss the genre of "hyperpop" and do a track-by-track overview of 100 gecs' debut album, "1,000 gecs." Setlist: 1. "745 Sticky" // 2. "Money Machine" // 3. "800db Cloud" // 4. "I Need Help Immediately" // 5. "Stupid Horse" // 6. "xXXi_wud_nvrstøp_üXXx" // 7. "Ringtone" // 8. "GecGecGec" // 9.

Aotearoa singer/songwriter Marlon Williams'(Kāi Tahu, Ngāi Tai) is a singer and songwriter from Lyttleton, New Zealand. He's spent this past decade creating a personal blend of country, indie, and folk music; and he's been an actor, and makes an appearance in the film A Star Is Born. But his new album is something different – maybe not musically, but Marlon Williams is from a Maori family and has chosen to sing in the Maori language on his new record, called Te Whare Tīwekaweka. He's also the subject of a new documentary film, which follows Williams through international tours to quiet home life, all while working on the album. Marlon Williams chats about his journey with his ancestral tongue, his collaborators, and the process of writing his first te reo Māori album; he plays solo, in-studio. Set list:  1. Aua Atu Rā 2. Kāhore He Manu E 3. Pānaki

Jason Polinski and Peter Matos are the co-founders of 3D Response Systems, a company that specializes in security systems that prepare and protect schools in case of dangerous situations. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Immersion consists of the husband and wife team of Colin Newman, who you may know from the veteran English rock band Wire, and Malka Spigel from the band Minimal Compact. And Nanocluster is the name of a series of collaborations between the Immersion and various guests (Laetitia Sadier, German post-rock duo Tarwater, electronic musicians Ulrich Schnauss and Scanner, and others.) Vol. 3 of Nanocluster features the NY-based ambient country band called SUSS. The veteran musicians of SUSS - Pat Irwin (the B-52s, Raybeats, 8 Eyed Spy), Bob Holmes (numun, Rubber Rodeo), and Jonathan Gregg (the Combine, the Linemen) - combine pedal steel, mandolin, national steel guitar, and other textures with electronics to create their wide open sonic landscapes, (Swim). Immersion and SUSS play music from their open-minded and atmospheric explorations, in-studio. Set list: 1. Khamsin 2. In The Far Away 3. State of Motion

The percussion quartet serves as faculty and ensemble-in-residence at the UMKC Conservatory. Playing on wine glasses and an empty bourbon bottle (in addition to a vibraphones and drums), Sandbox Percussion recently performed a dynamic Tiny Desk Concert at NPR.

The British cellist, producer, and composer Peter Gregson has collaborated with some of the biggest names in contemporary music, including Max Richter, Gabriel Prokofiev and Jóhann Jóhannsson.  His own work includes soundtracks for film and TV, electroacoustic works, and a series of string quartets. Daringly, he has also “recomposed” J.S. Bach's six cello suites for himself, a cello ensemble, and electronics. His latest album, Peter Gregson, is collection of contemporary songs without words for cello and a modular synthesizer that he built out himself. Peter Gregson plays some of these songs in-studio.  Set List: 1. Prism 2. Constellation 3. Vision

Mit seinem neuesten Album begibt sich Zach Condon auf eine Zirkusmusik-Odyssee – und bringt unter anderem ein Einhorn davon mit "nach Hause". Kaum anderthalb Jahre nach dem vierfach beim radioeins-Soundcheck als "Hit!" bewerteten und zu unserem Album der Woche gekürten "Hadsel" veröffentlicht Beirut-Mastermind Zach Condon morgen bereits sein nächstes ambitioniertes Werk: "A Study Of Losses" ist kein "gewöhnliches" Beirut-Album, falls es so etwas überhaupt gibt, sondern eine Auftragsarbeit, die zur musikalischen Untermalung der gleichnamigen akrobatischen Bühnen-Show des schwedischen Zirkus "Kompani Giraff" dienen wird. Damit arbeitet der in Berlin lebende Condon auch gleich noch quasi ein altes Trauma auf: "Ich wurde jahrelang in eine Schublade gesteckt, in der ich ein skurriles Zirkuskind war, umgeben von sepiafarbenen Bildern von Groschenromanen und vielleicht Löwendompteuren mit Schnurrbärten. Es hätte nicht weiter davon entfernt sein können, wie ich mir die Musik vorstellte, die ich machte. Es ist also eine Ironie, dass ich das Projekt von Kompani Giraff so verlockend fand." Inspiriert wurden die Songs, die übrigens auch ohne Stars in der Manege hervorragend wirken, vom Roman "Verzeichnis einiger Verluste" der deutschen Autorin Judith Schalansky; das Stück "Guericke's Unicorn" bezieht sich obendrein auf die vor über 300 Jahren vom Naturforscher Otto von Guericke hergestellte angebliche fossile Rekonstruktion jenes Fabelwesens, die in Wirklichkeit aus den Knochen verschiedener Tiere wie Wollhaarmammut und Narwal geschaffen wurde und den Musiker seit Langem faszinierte. Mehr erfahren wir von Zach Condon selbst, denn er ist unser dieswöchiger Lokalmatador.

The Indian-born tabla player and composer, teacher, and advocate Zakir Hussain, son of Ustad Alla Rahka, who passed away in late 2024, wasn't just a virtuoso improviser - he was one of the world's exceptional percussionists, working in many genres, and was the world's preeminent tabla master. He was a great communicator in many musical languages, including jazz, Afro-Cuban rhythms, Nigerian talking drums, or Indonesian gamelan; he was also a great listener and a bringer of joy (editor can't help herself.) One of the most exciting ways that Zakir Hussain shared tabla specifically, and percussion more broadly was by way of the Masters of Percussion Tour – which was exactly as stunning and marvelous as a music fan (especially a drum nerd) might ever imagine. Zakir turned the tabla into a global instrument by way of his incredible collaborations, playing with everyone from George Harrison to Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead, from John McLaughlin's Shakti and Yo Yo Ma's Silk Road Project; he's laid down beats for Scottish fiddlers Charlie McKerron (Capercaillie) and Patsy Reid (formerly of Breabach); played concertos with western orchestras, with and without banjo player Bela Fleck and bassist Edgar Meyer, and performed and recorded with scores of Indian classical musicians. Zakir Hussain enjoyed the different challenges that each new collaborator “will throw at him”. For this edition of the Soundcheck Podcast, Ustad Zakir Hussain joined Pandit Rahul Sharma, the son of illustrious santoor master Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, who established the pedigree of the santoor within Indian Classical Music. Pt. Rahul Sharma has since built on his father's style, “taking the santoor to new corners of the world”, (Darbar.org). Rahul Sharma has also collaborated widely across genres, having released some 60 albums, split between classical Indian music and more experimental recordings. Rahul Sharma and Zakir Hussain played in-studio in Oct of 2024, just about six weeks before Hussain passed away. - Caryn Havlik Set list: 1. Dhun: Misra Pahadi 2. Dhun Keharwa Sharma explains the roots of the santoor, and gives a quick demonstration of its 94 strings which require precise tuning:  Zakir Hussain also gave an intimidatingly fast explainer of some of the syllables of tabla, what the left and right hand might do, with unbelievable and impressive speed: See their performances:    

Fritz Hutchison, leader of the band Fritz and Sons, knows his way around the Kansas City music scene. The multi-instrumental singer-songwriter said his "hunger" for music led him to be versatile.

The Nigerian singer, songwriter and bandleader and Seun Kuti keeps alive the Afrobeat tradition founded by his legendary father, Fela Kuti, back in the 1970s. In fact, when Fela died in 1997, it was Seun, his youngest son, who took over the band, now called Egypt 80. Like his late father, Seun Kuti takes on topics like government corruption and corporate greed in his songs, setting his lyrics and his blazing sax solos to an insistent dance beat. Seun Kuti and Egypt 80 play tunes from their most recent album, Heavier Yet (Lays The Crownless Head), in-studio. Set list: 1. Stand Well Well 2. Love and Revolution 3. Emi Aluta

New York-based Ruckus is an early music ensemble that plays with the energy of a rock band. Most early music groups feature instruments like the harpsichord and the viola da gamba, and Ruckus does too, but you'll also hear synthesizer, guitar, bassoon, bass, and near Eastern frame drums. And on their new album, The Edinburgh Rollick, they focus on traditional Scottish folk songs and dances.  Set list: 1. The Gigg Set (Cairngoram Mountain, The Gigg, Lady Charlotte) 2. Robie Dona Górach 3.The Forrests Set (Lord Elcho, Dunkeld House, Forrest's)

CocoRosie -the band founded by the sisters Sierra and Bianca Casady – blends elements of pop, freak folk and electronic music into a distinctly personal, idiosyncratic sound. The sisters use their voices, electronics, and found sounds – usually the sounds of toys – to make songs that can be whimsical, provocative, haunted, beautiful - sometimes all at once. CocoRosie plays new songs from their latest album, Little Death Wishes, in-studio. Set list: 1. Wait for Me 2. Cut Stitch Scar 3. Paper Boat 4. Give It to the Wind Little Death Wishes by CocoRosie

In 2010, we first fell under the spell of an extraordinary duo: Ballaké Sissoko, master of the West African harp or kora, and Vincent Segal, the French cellist. After a couple of albums together they added another duo, accordion virtuoso Vincent Peirani and sax player Emile Parisien, and that quartet has released an album called Les Egarés – those who stray – an apt name for a band that refuses to color within the lines. There is a unity and fluidity in the way the players listen without competing, return musical answers to questioning phrases, and maintain fluidity and a sense of play. The quartet, “a poetic asylum for the two duos” (Bandcamp) – where chamber music, French chanson, West African folk, and jazz all mix freely -  is performing here in the U.S. on tour for the fist time, and they play in-studio. Set list: 1. Esperanza 2. Orient Express 3. Banja

In Episode 115, the hosts discuss how to carry out sound check and begin building the mix. A proper sound check goes beyond just making sure everything is plugged in, it also helps in staying organized for the upcoming performance and shines a light on problems that could occur.

A creative collaboration between a Lawrence high schooler named Flora and her dad, Flora From Kansas dropped its debut EP, "Homesick," on March 14. Flora says the musical project has made her feel less alone.

Harpist, soloist, collaborator (Harlem Chamber Players), educator, and arranger Ashley Jackson's brand new album is called Take Me To The Water.  In the American spiritual tradition, water is a powerful metaphor for freedom and for moving from this life to the next. Jackson's record takes listeners on a watery journey through works by Debussy, the jazz harpist Alice Coltrane, blues, and some classic spirituals. As Jackson declares in a statement about the record, ”Water is something that we all need. It sustains us, it gives us life. Take Me to the Water reminds us we have a choice: we can let water be the thing that divides us, or, it can allow us to come together through our shared humanity.” She plays some of her arrangements of spirituals on a sculpted maple harp, in-studio. Set list: 1. River Jordan 2. Deep River II 3. Take Me to the Water I

New York composer and guitarist Rafiq Bhatia is part of the art rock band Son Lux, the experimental trio best-known for scoring the film Everything Everywhere All At Once. His new EP – his first new solo project in 5 years - features pianist and improviser Chris Pattishall and is called Each Dream, A Melting Door. In their electro-acoustic songs, Rafiq alters the audio output from his guitar in real time with effects software, while Chris responds at the keyboard - although sometimes Chris will lead the exploration. ("It's basically a set of works for a piano that sounds like a piano and a guitar that sounds like anything and everything else", -John Schaefer.) The longtime friends and collaborators play some of their filmic, sculpted, and evolving soundscapes, in-studio.  Set list: 1. Occlusion 2. Ijen 3. Supplicant

Jan Blomqvist is part of the legendary electronic music scene in Berlin – but he's also a singer and producer, so his take on techno and house music is more song-oriented than many of his fellow DJs. One thing that sets Blomqvist apart is that he makes music in the studio with an eye towards live performance, earning him a description of “concert techno”. His latest album, MUTE, is about a generation that has grown up with apparently unlimited connectivity but still feels disconnected (which is also the name of his record label.) Sometimes the songs grow from and explore silence, (not just the space before the beat drops), while others create hope in dark and uncertain times. There's even a song that tells the love story between a human and an AI, like in the film HER, or the recent novel Annie Bot. Jan Blomqvist lays down pulsing energy and haunting vocals, in-studio. Set list: 1. Destination Lost 2. Underwater 3. Algorithm

German producer & multi-instrumentalist Aukai, aka Markus Sieber, grew up in the former East Germany, but his travels have taken him through Latin America, and he is now based in Colorado. "Aukai" is a Hawaiian term for a seafaring traveler, and on 2018 record, Branches of Sun, he has captured a certain nomadic wanderlust which might connect a listener to a certain peace of being in nature, high in the mountains. With an ensemble that centers on the South American ronroco, a kind of mandolin-like lute, (“the bigger brother of the charango”), harp, violin, percussion and electronics, Aukai and Ensemble perform some of his electro-acoustic creations, in the studio.
