October 2005: Seminal German director
Christoph Schlingensief (R.I.P. 2010)
shoots his latest feature film äThe
African Twintowersô in Lⁿderitz/Namibia
with Irm Hermann, Klaus Beyer, Robert
Stadlober, Patti Smith........
Autumn 2006: Schlingensief approaches
Berlin musician/composer Hanno
Leichtmann (Groupshow, Static,
Denseland) regarding a soundtrack for
the film. There were hours and hours of
raw material; the concept being a movie
with few dialogues and music throughout
û a 90 minute psychedelic collage; an
associative visual and sonic trip.
With the help of John Nijenhuis aka Sir
Henry as well as a trio of musicians
playing indian music (tabla, sitar,
tampura), they started to improvise in
LeichtmannÆs recording studio projecting
film sequences on a wall. Within 4 days
and nights an enormous amount of tracks
had been recorded and several rough
mixes had been compiled.
After a while though, Schlingensief
decided to shift the concept. The film
transformed into an art installation
with 18 monitors showing sequences
simultaneously (presented at the
Berlinale and Steirischer Herbst), and
later on, a kind of äMaking of...ô with
90% off-comments by Christoph
Schlingensief and very little music was
made.
Thus, äThe African Twintowers Suiteô
represents a lost soundtrack; compiling
the most interesting recordings, newly
edited, layered, collaged, shortened and
mixed between 2009 and 2010.
