LIVE IN CONCERT - THE STERN MEISSEN singer Manuel Schmid together with Marek Arnold
It is well known that Manuel Schmid has been committed to preserving East German song heritage in his concerts for many years. He presents works that are predominantly from the "art epoch" of the 70s and combines them with his own solo pieces. Works like “Albatros” by KARAT, “Das Bild” from the “Sistine Madonna” by ELECTRA, “Wenn der Abend kommt” by HOLGER BIEGE, “Wie ein Fischlein unterm Eis” by KARUSSELL, or the magnificent “Sommernacht” by LIFT - Manuel Schmid manages to stay remarkably close to the original while still incorporating his own signature. It is a tribute to the oldest German record label AMIGA. It shows what wonderful and profound music was made at a time when sales figures were not the primary focus, and music was still given room for development. For this, Manuel Schmid deserves great thanks. All composers, lyricists, publishers, and estate administrators are involved in this project and have personally granted him permission for the interpretation. In addition, there are original songs to be heard, which draw on the musical and lyrical DNA of East Rock and bridge to modern times. On this theme, two influential musical minds have joined forces. Manuel Schmid has already caused quite a stir in the German-speaking music scene with his previous albums.
Marek Arnold has long been a fixture in the international progressive rock scene and has released albums with Steve Hackett (GENESIS), Jon Anderson (YES), and Derek Sherinian (DREAM THEATER). Both share the musical work with the German art rock legend STERN-COMBO MEISSEN and a love for sophisticated music and lyrics, which is reflected in their two collaborative albums “Ziele” and “Zeiten.” Now the two musicians present a consistent symbiosis of their musical strengths. The profound lyrics run like a red thread through the multifaceted arrangements. In an intelligent way, they bridge between pop, rock, jazz, and classical music to modern times.
Inspierty as a paraphrase: 4 people, rocking and melodic guitars, pulsating bass, penetrating drums, atmospheric synthesizers. What remains is Post Rock. The band name simply sums up: "Inspiration." The band was formed in 2013. Initially, there were only two guitarists. Shortly after, a drummer and bassist joined. This completed the band. From this point on, we polished the existing songs and created new ones. In 2015, they had their first public gig at the “Fête de la Musique” festival in Rostock.
The songs of Inspierty, which one can happily associate with non-earthly things, are as varied and melancholic as the universe itself...
