Matthias Grübel

Unser Stück Plastik hat jetzt auch einen Trailer. Wers noch sehen will: Es gibt nur noch eine Vorstellung in der laufenden Spielzeit: 23. Juni in der Schaubühne! Dann erst wieder nach dem Sommer…

In april 2015 i joined Fatime Kosumi aka ANDRRA for a live one take video shoot in an empty club in berlin. A sunday morning with some dark electronic beats: we performed a rework of our single TEMENA for alex tv. you can watch it here. You might want to use headphones or proper speakers.

And here, once again, is the studio version. Even a bit heavier and darker. I produced this in december 2014.

Am 25. April hat Stück Plastik von Marius von Mayenburg an der Schaubühne Premiere (und Uraufführung). Die Musik dafür kommt von mir… Es wird ein bunter Abend! Hier der Probentrailer der Schaubühne…

I am proud to present my first music video! I Felt Weird is now ready for you to stream below.

Maximilian Haslauer and Jonas Zieher created a mesmerizing handcrafted video for my track I Felt Weird from The Longest Year In History. While experimenting with moiré effects, Maximilian Haslauer and Jonas Zieher quickly discovered parallels with my musical work. Defined by Wikipedia as a “visually evident superimposed pattern created, for example, when two identical patterns on a flat or curved surface are overlaid while displaced or rotated a small amount from one another. (…) Moiré patterns are often an undesired artifact of images produced by various digital imaging and computer graphics techniques.” By manually moving printed patterns on transparent films the two designers consciously exploit this accidental effect. The footage was then edited digitally, retaining its organic feel to match the track’s sound. The result is a flickering audiovisual experience. Based in Stuttgart, South Germany, Maximilian Haslauer and Jonas Zieher study communcation design at the State Academy of Art and Design with a focus on image-making and illustration.

In winter 2014/15 i produced a nice deep track for the lovely voice of ANDRRA aka fatime kosumi. Her melody and lyrics are based on a piece of traditional albanian folk song about unwillingly being married to someone you don’t love. Together we turned this song into something dark and contemporary. You can stream it here.

Das neue Jahr hat begonnen und damit die Proben: 2015 startet mit zwei Theatermusiken… Die Ratten am Staatstheater Mainz (Regie: Jan-Christoph Gockel) hat am 27. Februar Premiere. Meine zweite Produktion des Jahres ist Stück Plastik von Marius von Mayenburg, Premiere Ende April an der Schaubühne in Berlin.

Jetzt online: der Trailer zu Ich Bereue Nichts am Badischen Staatstheater! Der Abend ist weiterhin in Karlsruhe zu sehen…

The spaces we enter define the speed of our lives. The Longest Year In History maps out all of these spaces. Our apartments and the windows we look through, looking at clocked day-to-day routines. The club, where existence is eternal, in synchronized infinity.The trains we ride, letting go of the routine while we are being moved, indulging in a shift of time and space… Matthias Grübel provides the soundtrack for our twisted sense of time and movement. He plays Sehnsuchtstechno for the calendar inside your heart.

The Longest Year In History is coming out in just a few days… In the meantime the fine folks at trndmusik.de featured a track premiere of the piece I FELT WEIRD on their sites, alongside an interview i did with them. you can read it here.

While the release of my EP The Longest Year In History is only 4 more weeks away, and the digital record is already available for pre-order from itunes and amazon, you already might want to tune in to mary anne hobbs’ lovely program on BBC6 this wednesday on midnight, respectively thursday 23 october at 0:00…
