Ein kalter Abend im Jahre 2005. Der Kulturbunker M\u00fclheim bebt. Acid Mothers Temple geben ein Konzert. Es beginnt mit verschrobenen psychedelischen Songs, verliert sich in kreischendem Noise und endet mit durchgerauchten Verst\u00e4rkern und einem magischen Outro aus Obertongesang. Sieben Jahre sp\u00e4ter kehrt das Kollektiv um Makoto Kawabata nach K\u00f6ln zur\u00fcck um seine ganz eigene Mischung aus Psychedelic Noise, Krautrock und magischem Experiment zu pr\u00e4sentieren. Acid Mothers Temple sind ein ganz besonderes Ph\u00e4nomen: die Besetzungen wechseln h\u00e4ufig, die Stilistik auch und die Band ist ber\u00fchmt f\u00fcr ungew\u00f6hnliche Zusammenarbeiten (u.a. mit Harald Gro\u00dfkopf oder Guru Guru). Passend zur Zielrichtung von \u201ebroken sound\u201c, eine m\u00f6glichst gro\u00dfe Bandbreite an experimenteller Musik pro Abend zu zeigen, kommt der Opener von Luigi Archetti, einem schweizerisch-italienischen Musiker, der scharfkantige Komputermusik schreibt. Eigentlich aus dem Jazz und der Performance kommend hat sich Archetti einen Namen als risikofreudiger Elektroniker gemacht, der mit seinen kalt-reduzierten Sounds ganz eigenwillige Klanggebilde schafft. Der ideale Kontrast zu AMT \u2013 es k\u00f6nnte ein denkw\u00fcrdiger Abend werden.
\n\u201ebroken sound\u201c wird kuratiert von Till Kniola\/aufabwegen und gef\u00f6rdert durch das Kulturamt der Stadt K\u00f6ln und das Ministerium f\u00fcr Familie, Kinder, Jugend, Kultur und Sport des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen.\u00a0 Der Auftritt von Luigi Archetti wird unterst\u00fctzt von Pro Helvetia \u2013 Schweizer Kulturstiftung.<\/p>\n
ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE<\/strong><\/p>\n Collective led by Kawabata Makoto. There are currently around 30 members, famous and unknown, musicians, artist, dancers, farmers etc. In order to follow and document their multifarious activities, in 1998 the Acid Mothers Temple family record label was set up. The Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Over a decade ago Kawabata became involved with a commune of Japanese beatniks and hippies, but the whole left-wing ethos didn’t really sit right with him. The members of Acid Mothers Temple have several houses all over Japan, and each of us is free to come and go between these houses. So we’re not a commune in the sense that all of us live together in the same place. There are some members who like to travel, others who stay at home. Everyone is free to live in whatever way they like. Our slogan is „Do Whatever You Want, Don’t Do Whatever You Don’t Want!!“. As a result of this philosophy, we have lost money and the trust of society as a whole, but we’ve gained time and freedom. When all the Aum Shinrikyo stuff was going on in Japan in 1995, there were quite a few of our members staying at AMT’s house. [NB Aum Shinrikyo, or Aum Supreme Truth, were the religious cult who carried out the poison gas attack on the Tokyo underground in 1995 that left 12 dead and over 1000 injured]. The neighbours mistakenly thought that our house was a secret Aum hideout and managed to get them evicted. Also, mountain villages are always suspicious of outsiders, and sometimes they are ostracised by the <\/p>\n LUIGI ARCHETTI<\/strong><\/p>\n 1955 born in Brescia, Italy, lives and work in Z\u00fcrich.

\ncommunity. These kinds of problems pop up from time to time, but there’s not much we can do about it. One of our members is a farmer, living together with his fields and rice paddies. There’s another member who has travelled through the Australian deserts and lived with Aborigines. There’s others who
\nare bumming round India. One went to Africa and never came back. One dropped out of a yakuza gang and decided to travel around Japan searching for mermaids. But we all live according to our slogan, and we all eventually return to the fold. They respect each others‘ ways of life, and we try not to tie each other down. The „soul collective“ only exists so that we can protect our freedom.
