Arnold Kasar is a musical jack of all
trades: in countless projects around
the Berlin based label Sonar Kollektiv,
the musician grown in the southern area
of the picturesque Black Forest left
his traces, among them Nylon,
AtomHockey or with Volksbuehne-player
and latest Internet-Hype Friedrich
Liechtenstein (Supergeil). However, the
trained sound-engineer is also capable
of going solo, as he proved with his
solo debut "The Piano Has Been Smoking"
in 2012. Now he returned to his first
instrument and his timing couldn't be
better, since the piano returned to new
strength in the music world, as the
numerous releases of pianists in the
past few years have shown. I really
hope that the timing is good, but I
can't influence it. At last I do it for
my own. When I started doing music as
Kasar back in 2010, I just didn't know
Nils Frahm or Brandt Brauer Frick. All
these people weren't on the spot by
then. Ilistened to Gonzales and of
course Hauschka and Craig Armstrong
were there, too. Yann Tiersen was
totally famous atthat time, the pianist
explains his view on his colleagues
when he started making music by
himself. But, with releasing his second
album "Walk On" at this point, he
didn't intend to flirt with a hype. The
piano, which has accompanied Arnold
Kasar from his childhood on, always
just fell out of the recordings in the
past. Due to this enduring relationship
to his first instrument he got bored of
it. Instead, he preferred to dedicate
himself to sample-based electronic
music with his friend Friedrich
Liechtenstein or making Nu Jazz in
several musical projects around the
world-famous Berlin based Sonar
Kollektiv (home to Jazzanova, The Black
Seeds or Solomun). But sooner or later
the piano had to return to the centre
of attention.
