The Absurd Webcast
Michael Frank's The Absurd performed live on Sunday, 18th of July at 6pm (Berlin time) in a Berlin recording studio. The Absurd is a band founded in the autumn of 1984 in Cologne. It has a constantly rotating line-up led by Michael Frank. Now they continued their celebration of their silver jubilee with 16 musicians in the Andere Baustelle studio with songs about the flying Robert and riding elevators in a mixture of hard rock, free jazz and psychedelia.

Golden Parachute CD presentation
Markus Apitius presented his new solo CD Golden Parachute at Dinnerclub, Cologne, on Friday Sept 11. I played along on some of the pieces.
As the previous CDs, the new CD contains a mix of various styles of songwriting. I play a solo (that I am proud of) during the climax of the 13 minute progressive/Canterbury influenced opus maximus called "Epiphany 74", a piece about an unusual day in the life of SF writer Philip K. Dick. - JUNE 2009
