Jungle, to the jungle From one city to the next With my dreams laid before me Like ripe fruit to be plucked Future is right now The city is my skin Changing, changing colors A chameleon I'll be

Ahhh Here I am Where time is space The Ego dissolves, far away is real close, and the sphere is complete once the center grows until there is nothing more and scale is abhorred. One is one is one is all and peace contains the violence of the world. Here I can be and balance exists.

about

Gerald Hartwig (www.zeichenstrich.de) is an Austrian artist that spend his youth in Los Angeles trying to make it big in the film business. He didn't make it. Years after, when his father died, he started recollecting about those years in the USA and started writing his first graphic novel about those times: the result is Chamäleon (Luftschacht Verlag, 2013).

Gerald approached me to make a concert for the release party of the book in Berlin. We started talking and I realized it didn't make any sense to throw my songs on top of his book, this story being especially honest and sincere. So I decided to create a set of pieces based on his book, using as much sound of the LA Area as I could, painting with them his own memories.

I spent a week reading the book, choosing what for me were the most important moments and collecting the sounds I thought were necessary for creating this music. Another more week of composing and recording went by, and on the 21st of June of 2013 we managed to put a show together where the music and his reading of the novel came to be a whole entity.

This is the Chamäleon Suite. I hope you enjoy it.

J. Krawietz was born on 1981, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
In 2009, after more than a decade playing in different bands, he started writing songs where blues and rock go hand in hand with glitches and beatboxes. In his repertoire, synthetic ballads that sound like dream landscapes coexist with nervous electric discharges that aim directly to your feet and spit syllables like a rapper. ... more
