FM EINHEIT/ANDREAS AMMER – HAMMERSCHLAG CD

CD in a Digipak.
“Hammerschlag” – created by FM Einheit with Andreas Ammer – features many percussive industrial elements and ‘machine music’ (chains, scraping, coiled springs, objects), noise, experimental electronics and provocative musical compositions familiar to the ears of Neubauten fans. An oratorio with prelude and two noise interludes, based on Russian futurist Aleksej Kapitonovič Gastev, the “bard of the machine age”.

“Hammerschlag” was premiered in 2019 at the Diaghilev Festival in Perm as a live concert with Teodor Currentzi , the chief conductor of the SWR Symphony Orchestra, as Aleksej Kapitonovič Gastev. The concert served as the basis for a German-Russian radio play version.

Aleksej Kapitonovič Gastev (1882 – 1939) was a Soviet revolutionary, poet, high-ranking union activist and scientist. He was executed under the orders of Stalin for counterrevolutionary activities.
