15) November 2015. My second time in Myanmar.


I collected some videos of the time and work I spent together with the Anne Paceo band in NOV 2015. 
I was invited again by the Goethe Institute Yangon. Goethe Institute and Institute Francais collaborated. Which was great. 

This is a rehearsal of the Anne Paceo band and Hein Tint´s Tsaing Waing to prepare our concert at the World Music Festival Yangon 2015.

It is a rehearsal for her song "Myanmar Folk Song".

Beautiful how the two ensembles blend into one sound!




Here are some more really cute impressions of the general atmosphere of the evening:

This is the composition "GONGS". Now in 2015, the second time to Myanmar I was more confident and ready to write an own tune for the combination of the Tsaing Waing and a European Jazz ensemble.

This is the song "Spazieren Gehen" composed by Thaung  Htike. 
A version that starts in the beginning. ;-)

9) Myanmar Meets Europe - How It All Began...

It began in 2010.  The two musicians Tim Isfort and Jan Klare were working at the project first.  Together with Xaver Augustin , the head of the Goethe Institut Yangon/Myanmar .  As far as I understand another very important role was played by Daphne Wolff . Who came to Burma first in 2004 to learn about Burmese music as an music-ethnologist. In 2010 she was working for the Goethe Institute Yangon, organized and created collaborations between Burmese musicians and European musicians. That is how Tim Isfort and Jan Klare first met Thaung Htike .  And that was also how Daphne and Thaung Htike met. Daphne is a very important linking role. She speaks Burmese, she knows the people and their music and she can translate during the process of rehearsing.  Wich is quite important, otherwise sometimes there is no understanding in words and alas no chance to work at musical details. Tim Isfort (former festival manager of "Traumzeit" Duisburg, recently festival manager of the w

29) Sein Bo Din / Comp.: Hein Tint / Band Arrangement: Christoph Hillmann

Sein Bo Din Is a composition, Thaung Htike wrote. Sein Bo Din was his teacher. He wrote this piece in "Sein Bo Din Style" as he explained to me. In the style of his master. We play this piece in duo. And until that could happen there were several steps to take. We were introduced to Thaung Htikes music in 2014. Sein Bo Din: Christoph Hillmann was the drummer of the European Ensemble back then. He arranged Sein Bo Din, so we could play it together with the Hsaing Waing ensemble and the Jazz band. This is his arrangement:  Last year in October 2017 we started to play this composition also in our duo. And therefor we use Christop Hillmann´s arrangement.  Christoph has transcribed the drum figures to the piano more or less. Or he added figures that fit the melody and give some groove.  He wrote down call and response parts. He added some chords in a jazzidiom to accompany the melody (page 5). He created a solo part, that works as wel

Research coach: Rik Bastiaens / Sabine Kühlich Main subject teacher: Sabine Kühlich / Susanne Schneider 1. Introduction / State Of The Art______ This artistic research is about how the special combination of the Burmese instrument Pad Waing (21 diatonically tuned, hanging drums; originally translated Pad Waing means „circle“ and „hanging“) and the piano that form a duo, influences my inspiration for a composing process for this ensemble. Throughout times there have always been artists who involve into more than one discipline on an equally high level and that has always to
