about

A studio session recorded on July 21, 2023, Berlin, Germany.
The session was recorded in one go, with no overdubs and no pre-arrangements.

The subject of this current release is an untitled sculpture by the artist Rüdiger-Utz Kampmann, located in the Sculpture Park against War and Violence at the Reichstag in Berlin-Tiergarten, photo by Lutz Thuns.
This sculpture park is also known as the Mauersymposion (Wall Symposium).

The first sculpture symposium in Germany took place in the summer of 1961 near Würzburg. There the artists heard about the construction of the Berlin Wall and some of them spontaneously decided to travel to Berlin. From October 1961 to the summer of 1962, they worked on the Reichstag grounds, which were made available to them by the City of Berlin.

This recording session features a very unique electronic instrument, the Soma - Rumble of Ancient Times (RoAT). It is an 8-bit noise synthesizer inspired by the sounds of the early PC era. RoAT is capable of a wide range of sounds, from dense noise landscapes to various glitchy rhythmic patterns, and runs on a microcontroller similar to those used in old fridges.

TaboTago is all about experimenting, playing and performing electronic music together. After starting out as an Edgar Froese and Tangerine Dream tribute band, the band has now developed its own take on the so-called Berlin School music.

A lot of material has been created during live concerts and recording sessions over the past years.
We make this material available to our audience in a series of releases. The music presented here was mostly played under live conditions or similar.

We sincerely hope you will enjoy the time listening to our musical diary... or more timely put, to TaboTago's audio blog!

In 1981 I was with my father in a Tangerine Dream concert in the Stadthalle Bremen. This piece of music brought both memories of this event and a very fresh note on top. Wonderful music beyond time and technology. erik maronde

Another stellar release from this long-lived ensemble. Though the King Crimson influence is obvious & that comparison unavoidable, these guys have made many great recordings that can't be categorized as 'mere copies'. The perfect balance of aggressive riffing and serene soundscapes. Stephen Roberts
