Title: Kreidler: German Electronic Jazz Music
Venue: Asia Europe Institute (AEI) Auditorium, University of Malaya, 50603, Kuala Lumpur
Synopsis: German avant-garde jazz band, Kreidler, drops by in KL on their tour of South East Asia. They are best known for their electronically refined soundscapes, which come alive with elegantly flowing, yet minimalist and cool tones.
The three musicians came together in 1994 with the intention of transforming music and spoken poetry into something new. Their first mini record came out in 1995, fusing various musical influences in an innovative way. In 1996 Kreidler was named the best music newcomer of the year at the German equivalent of the Grammys, and in 1997 they went on their first tour across Europe.
NN, NTAzNA MY 10 2003
Düsseldorf based electronic trio Kreidler's unique combination of classic analogue and digital sound is warm without sacrificing precision, and rhythmic without resorting to dancefloor gimmickry. It's music for the heart, the mind, and on occasion, the feet - imaginative and multi-faceted, memorable and breathtaking, even a diversed audience would feel united.
Gallant coolness, a charming sense of humour and the un-dogmatic intelligence has always led to the exciting music of Kreidler. Kirana Adam, Enpmusik MAL 10 2003
German band Kreidler has David Bowie, Pavement and Stereolab among its fans. Heck, the band has also managed to get critical acclaim from The New York Times for two of its releases, Appearance and The Park. Both were the paper's record of the week. The experimental electronic group, apparently masters at creating compelling sonic tapestry, will be performing at Universiti Malaya (UM).
One question obviously arises—what is the band doing playing at UM? This institution of higher learning isn't exactly the first place you think of when it comes to cutting-edge music that "cool" people are into. Well, you can thank the good folks at the local chapter of Goethe-Institut Inter Nationes, the German cultural centre. Kreidler's concert comes courtesy of the institute's ongoing initiative to share snippets of German living with us.
The group is made up of Andreas Reihse and Detlef Weinrich on keyboard, and Thomas Klein on drums. The band's sound has been described as the sort of music that would appeal to fans of Tortoise, Kraftwerk and Trans Am. To most of us, that would mean melodic and weird laid-back tunes. Kreidler is signed to Mute Records, the same label that houses legendary synth-pop pioneers Depeche Mode.
Come and check out the group as it shares its eclectic take on electronic music. If the band doesn't turn out to be a weird enough experience, maybe checking out what happens when such an esoteric show appears at Universiti Malaya is.

Conversation with Kreidler's Andreas Reihse
German group Kreidler have been likened to everyone from Tortoise to Can. They paid a rare visit to Malaysia as part of the Goethe Institute's ongoing cultural exchange program. At the end of their performance at University Malaya, Transmit braved the crowd to have a brief conversation with one-third of the trio, the affable Andreas Reihse.
Is this your first trip to this part of the world?
Andreas: We've been in Asia, but never been before in South-East Asia. Detlef has been to Korea, he studied art, and had an exchange program. He went to Seoul and Tokyo. Thomas and I have been to Japan on another project. We played together with Klaus Dinger. You may know him. He is NEU! and La Düsseldorf, played also in Kraftwerk. We collaborated on a few records and live shows.
You're speaking at a seminar in Singapore: 'Trends in Electronic Music'. What will you talk about?
Andreas: It's a very broad subject. I think I will be telling more about the attitude of certain people and not so much about musical styles. I think I will focus on a few things, for example Mouse on Mars, Thomas Brinkmann and Chicks on Speed, what they do. Telling about the attitude they have towards music, art, life not so much about say... Psychedelic drum n bass! Or... [laughs]
What do you think of mainstream electronic music, for instance, trance, and DJs or producers like Paul van Dyk?
Andreas: [laughs] Oh, I don't know much about him! Of course I've seen WestBam, Sven Väth and even Marusha and I've danced on plenty of raves. Trance is a bit boring for me but I have no moral opinion of it. I don't like it so so much, but actually I like certain elements. For example if The Modernist uses trance elements and when I do techno stuff as 'April' (Andreas' solo production moniker), I like it if it goes 'doof-dooof-doof' at 135 bpm and sometimes it is maybe close to trance but not very mainstream. Just using the energy or maybe a flanger or some sounds or something. I have no bad feelings about mainstream electronic, it doesn't destroy a scene, it's a completely different scene.
What sort of music do you think has the strongest influence on the music you create?
Andreas: Bach. Johann Sebastian Bach. [laughs] I don't know, I can't say. It's difficult. Years ago when I played keyboards in another group, I was always asked 'Who is your favourite keyboard player?' and they expected something like Keith Emerson of Emerson, Lake and Palmer (prog rock supergroup) or Alan Parsons (Alan Parsons Project) [laughs]. And I always said, it's Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys who influenced my keyboard melodies! [laughs]. Which isn't so wrong, by the way. But you could say it's literature, birds singing, trees, nature, friends or a city like Kuala Lumpur. I don't know how I create melodies, I can't tell you. It's in me. I love a lot of different things and in a way they influence me. I can't say Kraftwerk or something!
People lump you into the krautrock or post-rock brigade and you consider comparisons to either less than appropriate. How do you distinguish yourselves from these styles?
Andreas: It's really difficult. For example I also spin records and it's really rare that I play Kreidler. Sometimes I take an old record of ours and I play it and it's always difficult to find the next record because there's not much which fits with our record. It's really difficult to find a record which fits after Kreidler. We are very focused on ourselves. Selfobsessed.
As a group, do you put a lot of thought into making your music?
Andreas: No [laughs]. But, really, not to begin with. Afterwards, like (considering) variations or remixing ourselves. We're not jazz musicians, improvising. It's more like, we know our limitations and we move inside these limitations. We always have a three or four minute idea in our heads and we try to fill it. Afterwards when we have something finished it's always a hard struggle because we have different opinions. Afterwards, we always have the concept for the record but not at the beginning. We have an idea and we say the next album is going to be more minimal or dancefloor but in the end we surprise ourselves.
What do you try to achieve when you create your music?
Andreas: To make people move, to make them happy, to create emotions, to trigger ideas. Once a guy in Vienna, Austria came to me and said that the song 'Reflections' (early Kreidler track) saved his life. He was at a dead-end and thought about suicide. He heard this song and it changed his life. He quit his job, his girlfriend, left his family and moved to another city. Wow! It was the first time I heard something like this.

Ba nhạc sỹ của ban nhạc Kreidler say mê âm nhạc truyền thống và họ cũng yêu âm nhạc điện tử hiện đại. Khi những giai điệu trầm man mác hoà trộn với tiếng nhạc điện tử mạnh mẽ, hùng tráng trên một cái nền sân khấu nhỏ hẹp khán giả hoàn toàn không thấy có sự mâu thuẫn nào. hầu như không có một ban nhạc nào lại có thể vận động đầy tao nhã trong ranh giới giữa sự biến đổi các tiết tấu một cách nhỏ nhất và sự say mê các giai điệu lâng lâng, thánh thót.
Thomas Klein (trống), Andreas Reihse (Electronics) và Detlev Weinrich (Keyboards) năm 1997 đã được bình chọn là một ban nhạc trẻ xuất sắc nhất của nước Đức. Với bốn CD có nhiều thành công và nhiều chuyến lưu diễn khắp châu Âu, ban nhạc của Dusseldorf này được rất nhiều người hâm mộ, trong đó có những ngôi sao tầm cỡ quốc tế như Đavi Bowie và Stereolab.

Đôi nét về ban nhạc Kreidler
Tài năng của Kreidler được phát hiện vào đầu vào năm 1994. Khi đó 3 thành viên Thomas Klein (Drums), Andreas Reihse (Electronics) và Stefan Schneider (Bass) đang chơi trong quán Op de Eck Café dưới cái tên Deux Baleines Blanches. Detlef Weinrich, thành viên của Viện Hàn lâm Nghệ thuật Đức tình cờ được nghe những giai điệu của Deux Baleines Blanches và rất ấn tượng vì phong cách chơi của họ. Đó cũng là lý do vì sao Detlef Weinrich di đến quyết định cộng tác với Deux Baleines Blanches.
Vài tuần sau, Deux Baleines Blanches xuất hiện trong một CLB nhỏ với một cái tên khác, Kreidler, Lúc này, ban nhạc đã có 4 người: Thomas Klein, David Roy Nash, Andreas Michael Reihse và Detlef Christian Weinrich. Một cái tên hoàn toàn mới, một chặng đường mới đã mở ra. Mùa hè năm 1994, họ ra mắt người yêu nhạc dưới cái tên Kreidler nhưng đến tận tháng 5/1995, Kreidler mới chính thức bước vào Knochenhaus Studio tại Hamburg để ghi âm 7 ca khúc đầu tiên. Single đầu tiên Kookaï của Kreidler đã gây được ấn tượng tốt ngay từ khi mới ra mắt. Với những giai điệu lạ tai, tạp chí Spex của Đức đã đánh giá âm nhạc rất cao chất lượng âm nhạc của Kreidler.
Cũng từ thành công này, sự nghiệp của ban nhạc bắt đầu khởi sắc. Hãng đĩa KiffSM ở Hamburg đã quyết định ký hợp đồng thu âm với Kreidler. Kết quả của mối hợp tác mới này là sự ra đời của đĩa nhạc LP Weekend vào tháng 10/1996. Chính từ thành công của LP Weekend mà Kreidler được xếp vào hàng những ban nhạc được chú ý nhất nước Đức. Cũng trong năm này, độc giả của tạp chí Spex đã bầu Kreidler là Ban nhạc mới xuất sắc nhất.
1997 có thể coi là một năm bận rộn của Kreidler. Thành công của LP Weekend đã dẫn đến những show diễn ở London, tiếp đến là Bỉ, Hà Lan, Thuỵ Sĩ, Pháp. Đây có thể coi là động lực quan trọng khiến ban nhạc chuẩn bị cho album tiếp theo vào năm sau. Tính đến thời điểm này, Kreidler đã ra được 3 album và đều được đánh giá cao.
Kreidler đã tham gia khá nhiều liên hoan âm nhạc ở châu Âu. Họ đã được mời chơi nhạc ở Amsterdam (Hà Lan), Copenhagen (Đan Mạch), Brighton (Anh quốc) và tất nhiên là liên hoan nhạc Pop ở Frankfurt có tên VIVA II...

NU BEATS at PHUTURE Club presents: GOETHE CONNECTIONS PART 3 with KREIDLER (Germany)
The Goethe-Institut Singapore is part of the Goethe-Institut Inter Nationes e. V world-wide network. In line with its official cultural policy, Goethe Connections aims to present its longstanding contacts with avant garde music in Germany and abroad & promote high quality, forward thinking infotainment to Singapore, a perfect synergy with Nu Beats at Phuture.
Kreidler admit to appropriating their moniker, and by implication their general music making aesthetic, from an old 50cc motorcycle with "a cheap hi-tech look". Thomas Klein (drums), Andreas Reihse (push-buttoned and keyed instruments), and Detlef Weinrich (electronica) create contemporary electronic music with an experimental core but refuse to be typecast as mere studio boffins: "There's a lot of hype about electronic acts working in a scientific way", they assert, "but that's not our goal. People are happy to see us as 'that weird German band'", bemoan Kreidler, "but we never set out to be like that."
Kreidler's ambition is to create music beyond any of these contexts - music based on the most varied of influences, according to their own world’s possibilities.
Zouk/Phuture admission on 10 Oct for non-members (incl 2 drinks): $15 before 9pm, $23/$28 after

October 13, 2003. In the midst of catch-up conversation she asked if, by any chance, I'd be interested in going to see some German group at the Esplanade tonight. She read about them in the papers and it sounded interesting. WAHOO! (..)
Kreidler continued my long-running streak of never being disappointed by anything German. (I clarify: obviously I wasn't alive during the World Wars.) Interesting sounds that evolved rather than doof!doof!doof!ing on for ages the way some electronica does, endearing crowd manner, and although I was too comfy sprawling on the floor for most of the gig to dance, it certainly kept me bobbing my head and tapping my toes.
Zouk Club was exclusively booked on Thursday 2 Oct 03 for this close-door event. The guest of honour was an Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany, Andreas Michaelis. There was Electronic Music by the band Kreidler - Andreas Rheise on Keyboard , Thomas Klein on Drums & Detlev Weinrich on Keyboard, Easy Listening Dance Music by duo DJs Le Hammond Inferno Holger Beier & Marcus Liesenfeld from Berlin, action painting by Neoangin & Nova Huta, German food & German birthday Sahne cake!
After my 8 months learning at Goethe, I can safely tell you that it's not just a place to learn the German language, it is also a place for German music, art and folk culture ;-)
