Tommi Stumpff : Unstille [ "InDUStrial" (2023) ]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8ZDLqiWbDc

Released on the compilation "InDUStrial" (2023).

Music & lyrics by Tommi Stumpff
Voice by Estella Plunkett

Arranged by Tommi Stumpff & Marcel P.
Produced & mastered by Marcel P. at Dungeon Studio, Rhenania

The newly released compilation "InDUStrial" features 15 artists and bands that come from or live in Düsseldorf. These include Die Krupps, Pyrolator, JOSEPH BOYS and many more.

8 industrial companies based in Düsseldorf took part in the creation of the music by providing the participating musicians with their workplaces, offering diverse sonic environments and unique soundscapes as the foundation for their creative work.

Tommi went to one of the industrial companies with his wife to do field recordings which we later cut into fitting samples together.

This was the last song on which Tommi and I worked before his death. It's meant to be played LOUD! He wanted the industrial noises to be "like a punch in the face" to show the listeners a "real Industrial sound".

🖤 Rest in peace, my friend! 🖤
Your music will live on and inspire more generations. 🎧

The latest releases that were recorded/produced at the Dungeon Studio, Rhenania and/or feature me in some capacity:

- Miel Noir & Changes “Defiance” CD and limited edition 2CD w. the bonus disc “Resistance”.

- CD&LP version of the album “Emblem of Victory” by Arditi(Official) featuring my voice on the track “Gloria Victis”.

- Barditus “Dein Schwert” feat. Uwe Nolte, Christian of Stern des Bundes, Rudolf of Sonnenkind and yours truly contributing several instruments, arrangements, backing vocals, samples and of course production.

- AimA & Allerseelen “Ama Il Tuo Sogno / Liebe Deinen Traum” limited edition cassette

- V.A. “Spiritual Sounds For Artsakh”. Benefit compilation feat. Miel Noir & Changes “(In)tolerance” … and since it is a French CD we actually got an accent on the e in the song title, making it “(In)tolérance”. Which is fitting because the version of the song actually differs from the album since it was at an early stage in our production process when we were asked to contribute to this release.

The 3 releases on the right side of the picture are digital only.

- V.A. "Voices From Beyond" by Santa Sangre Magazine, featuring the Miel Noir song "Alles ohne mich". Other participants are Andrew King, Matt Howden, Tamar Singer and David E. Williams to name but a few. Thanks to Przemyslaw for including us!

- Margraf "Fox & Wolverine: Call of the Wild" feat. my voice and lyrics on the song "Wolves on the Hunt". The original CD came out 2019. Digital Re-Release by Savo-Karelian Productions. Thanks to Tatu for the invite and the continued friendship!

- The Halbard "With Fire and Famine" featuring my vocals on the title track. Another great project of my aforementioned friend

I am heartbroken to tell you that my dear friend Tommi Stumpff has died.

There will be many articles and epitaphs about him as an influential artist, as a music icon and trailblazer. But I was fortunate to call him colleague, mentor and friend… after growing up with his music starting in 9th or 10th grade.

There’s a lot of unfinished material. Some will be finished and released posthumously. I was honored to have him perform on my songs with Miel Noir and be the producer of his Stumpff material. But the greatest honor was getting to know him, to laugh with him, to taste his incredible cooking and to be a part of his life through trying times.

The photo shows a happy Tommi doing "peek-a-boo" in the studio. We had a lot of laughs together and each time working on music in my studio.

To his beloved wife Kirsten and all his family and friends: I grieve with you!

To his listeners: Cherish and spread his music to keep his spirit alive all over the world!

Rest in peace, Tommi Stumpff!

Allerseelen : Kleine Wellen. Haiku [NEW SONG!]

Music, lyrics and vocals by Gerhard Hallstatt
Bass and production by Marcel P.

Recorded at Haus zur letzten Latern by Gerhard Hallstatt.
Produced & mastered at Dungeon Studio, Rhenania by Marcel P.

Allerseelen: Kleine Wellen. Haiku. Klangkapsel 024.

"Klangkapsel / Sound Capsule 024 is a message in a bottle that contains the slow and melancholic Allerseelen song Kleine Wellen (Little Waves). Its lyrics were written at the Danube in Austria. Not only swans came close to ask for bread - it also seemed that thousands of little waves had a similar wish, asking for bread too. Or had they a desire for something much more immaterial, some intangible cultural heritage? Maybe they were just curious, maybe they asked for a haiku, a song. But maybe their wish was just some kind of seppuku wish, to touch the coast, to end at the mainland, the terra firma. Were they waves, were they particles? I thought of the wave-particle duality. The lyrics were written in the form of a Japanese haiku - five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables - which means that they are even more minimal than many other Allerseelen poems. What are words, what are syllables? Are they at the same time particles and waves too exerting their effects on the human physis and psyche? In this haiku song I am accompanied again by the dreamlike and pensive bass play by friend and fellow-musician Marcel P. This challenge of setting haikus to music will continue as I wrote in the meantime some more haikus. After the CD Toteninsel and the DoLP Abenteuerliches Herz, there are plans for a full Allerseelen CD with haiku songs. Details in one of the next messages in a bottle."

die kleinen Wellen
kommen zu mir ans Ufer
als wollten sie Brot

the little waves
coming to me at the coast
do they ask for bread
