PREVIEW:
Manuel Göttsching & Ashra - In Concert
Friday · 8 June, 8 pm Open Air Stage in the roofed summer garden at ufaFabrik
After 12 years they are finally back on stage in Berlin:
Manuel Göttsching & ASHRA will play live together on the Summer Stage at Berlin’s ufaFabrik.
In 1978 CORRELATIONS, the first album of Manuel Göttsching’s second band ASHRA, was recorded here, after he decided to take a break from his solo career, which had started in 1974 with INVENTIONS FOR ELECTRIC GUITAR.
Göttsching reached fame in 1969/70 as the 17 years old guitarist and founder of the Berlin based German cosmic rock band ASH RA TEMPEL, with his school mate Hartmut Enke on bass and Klaus Schulze on drums. From 1970 to 1973 ASH RA TEMPEL released five albums, all of which achieved cult status. The abbreviation of the name to ASHRA marked Göttsching’s musical development. He and the new members in his band Harald Grosskopf (ex Wallenstein) and Lutz Lüül Ulbrich (ex Agitation Free, now member of 17 Hippies) perfected their Electronic Instrumental Rock with experimental sounds and electronic balancing their instruments. In 1997 youngster Steve Baltes joined ASHRA on keys & electronics.
After some ASHRA releases on the VIRGIN record label in the late 1970s and a few solo projects, Göttsching’s most popular album E2-E4, which he had already recorded in 1981 in his Berlin studio, was realeased in 1984. With stringent funkiness and minimalist tonal precision the work set a milestone in the later development of electronic music worldwide. This composition also denotes the last development in contemporary minimal music. For over 40 years Manuel Göttsching remained true to himself as a musician and composer, famous for his brilliant guitar play, and still devoted to developing the history of electronic music.
Due to the high demand, the grandseigneur of psychedelic rock, cosmic and minimal music will be on stage again. The concert with his band ASHRA is the second performance in Berlin in 2012, after his solo show in February with the Joshua Light Show as headliner for the transmediale festival at the sold out Haus der Kulturen der Welt.
The album CORRELATIONS will be re-released in time for the concert at ufaFabrik. There will be also some autographed copies of a limited 5-CD Box with recordings of the rehearsals at ufaFabrik in 1978, “the Making of CORRELATIONS“ and with the unpublished first mix. The box also includes an extensive booklet for fans and collectors interested in the band’s history.
