Without Touch 2.0 European Theremin Festival 12-14 Sept 2008

With Lydia Kavina, Carolina Eyck, Barbara Buchholz and Wilco Botermans in Lippstadt, Germany.

You know how great it's going to be. I don't need to tell you.

Here's the website (http://www.theremin.musikschule-lippstadt.de/).

Also, http://myspace.com/withouttouch.

I'm going, and I'm helping the publicity by doing the mySpace site. Please "add" it.

Thank you.

And I'll see you in September. :-)

I'll try to be there and I got already a pre-release of the sign-up form from Wolfgang Streblow.

off topic: When I asked my wife if she would accept to stay alone at home with our four children during a weekend in september, she agreed saying "Yes, but only if you take your electronic cat (she spoke of my Etherwave) with you!"

...I'll try - I'll try...however, this is still within the time span over which I have no control (2008 is an incredibly busy year for me)...

...I hope to make it at least for one day though...

Re-reading the flyer I see that especially the workshops all sound very interesting!

...I somehow will just have to make it...

;o)

For all those who did not yet get the flyer, here my poor try of a translation:

Lydia Kavina: Playing technique and interpretation

Barbara Buchholz: Improvisation

Carolina Eyck: Efficient practicing

Wilco Botermans: Theremin and sound manipulation

I already have my flight tickets. London Stansted STN to Paderborn/Lippstadt PAD return with Air Berlin (http://airberlin.com) - total cost €94 (£68) saver fare. Saver fares are still available, but I don't know for how long.

Brits - this is the flight I'm taking - http://tinyurl.com/3z5psy. It would be pleasant to have some company on the journey. :-)

I'm still hesitating if I should take my car or the train for these 560 kilometers...

...while I quite enjoy the train (ICE) I'd go most probably with the car as it is easier to take the theremin and stuff...

...perhaps we could meet in Stuttgart - ElectroMungo will take this route also (I guess - and: if he comes)...

...or you take another day off, come to my place near lake Ammersee first (overnight!) and we go from here together (picking 'EM' up on our way)...

fairplay, thank you, but Herrsching am Ammersee is still at 400 km from me... Could you consider to make a detour via Freiburg (South-Western Germany) and only 30 km from French Border? I would naturally pay your extra fuel.

...Thierry, its not a question of fuel (although, nowadays... ;o) - let's best discuss this via email, ok?

...chris.henkel at web.german-tld...

...we would most probably loose ElectroMungo though, as he'd be too far off route then...

Woohoo!
Looks very intresting, but am I the onlyone who have problems with the webpage??
