Weststadthalle, Essen, Germany
October - 03 - 2014

Rec. Info:

Audacity (edit/volume boost only) -> WAV 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC -> DIME -> YOUR
EARS AND MIND...  Superb recording, almost perfect. Or could this be a perfect
recording? Anyway, I left the final applause on this for the proof that this is
really an audience live recording. 
All thanks to Koeln (or some may say Cologne) to the taper master, dear
DIMENEW. Thanks for letting me share this here on DIME.

"OkAllright" (quote by moe.) as usual around this time, the fine record label
DENOVALI put on its SWINGFEST once again. Same date, same time, same location
as usual.  And once again, a bag full of surprises in one way or the other.
Some you might like, some you don't, as usual on any festival of any kind of
music on this planet. 
As your uploader and guidance through all these recordings done on that friday
and saturday (no recordings from sunday, due to other commitments of the taper)
and a simple fool about all this variying styles I simply like to add a few
notes from the DENOVALI site or the artists sites to give you a better clue. 

I was struck by the sad story of the theft of his truck while moving from
Seattle to NYC last May. Let alone the personal shock of the loss of all his
equipment except for a grand piano (which seemed to be too heavy and/or too
regocnizable to sell via Ebay, thief suckers!), it seemed to be a good sign of
hope about his performance at SWINGFEST. So I strongly urge
everybody to purchase at least one album directly from his site to recover the
enourmous list of items stolen.  A few notes about him, from his website...

"Rafael Anton Irisarri is an American composer, multi-instrumentalist,
electronic music producer, interdisciplinary artist and curator. Predominantly
associated with ambient, drone, post-minimalist, and modern classical music,
Irisarri's recorded output captures an essential vision of floating tones,
deep pulsing bass and textural electronics.
His use of ostinato phrases taps into minimalist ideals while atmospheric
layers of effects suggests a more cinematic quality in his productions. In all,
Irisarri's compositions are deeply emotive and epic to the point of being
symphonic."

this starts very quiet for the first 12-13 minutes, then rises and gets really
loud. Take care of your speakers (and ears!).
