Music of Water, Wood & Bones 3

Best of Early Works

is a nostalgic album full of summer and love including three mesmerizing duets with francophone chanteuses (from Switzerland & Canada).

A nostalgic EP about companions of my childhood (like Fantômas or Tom Bombadil) as well as French cinema of the 60s and 70s. Once more with wonderful contributions by Insa Segebade (Germany), Sophie Gallant (Switzerland) and Chanteuse Lina (Canada).

The German music & performance ensemble existed from 1992 to 1995 (10 members) and 1996 to 1997 (7 members). Founder, main composer and lyricist as well as singer Norbert Walser (today Nico Walser) deliberately did not put together a band. Thus the motley ensemble consisted of professionals and amateurs - among others three different percussionists as well as a cellist and a trumpeter. Music between catchy and experimental - with the emphasis on performance. Among other things, Normal-8 films were projected on stage; theatrical and circus interludes rounded off the live spectacle.
