new Album „Michael Hoffmann – STEAM HAMMER“ released

steam hammer front cover

Alle Tracks auf STEAM HAMMER entstanden im Dezember 2021 bei der Vertonung der sechsteiligen Billy Bitzer – Filmdokumentation „Westinghouse Works“ aus dem Jahre 1904. Auf der Suche nach alten Stummfilmen stieß ich auf diese Industriefilm-Doku aus der Anfangszeit des Bewegtfilms. Billy Bitzers Filmdokumentation zeigt in beeindruckender Weise die harte Arbeit in den Werkhallen, Schmieden und Gießereien des Westinghouse-Konzerns. Diese Eindrücke versuchte ich improvisatorisch mit Schlagzeug, Percussion und Live-Electronics musikalisch umzusetzen.

Alle Audio-Tracks wurden für dieses Album neu abgemischt und gemastert.

Am 1. Januar 2023 wurde das Album STEAM HAMMER veröffentlicht.
STEAM HAMMER kann als High-Quality-Download zu einem Preis von € 4.00 (oder mehr) auf bandcamp.com käuflich erworben werden.

All tracks on STEAM HAMMER were created in December 2021 during the dubbing of the six-part Billy Bitzer film documentary „Westinghouse Works“ from 1904. When I was looking for old silent film materials, I came across this industrial film documentary from the early days of moving film. Billy Bitzer’s film documentary impressively shows the hard work in the factory halls, forges and foundries at the Westinghouse-Group. I tried to realize these impressions into music by improvising on drums, percussion and live electronics.

For this album all audio tracks have been remixed and remastered.

On January 1st, 2023 the album STEAM HAMMER was released.
STEAM HAMMER is available for purchase as a high-quality-download for €4.60 (or more) on bandcamp.com
