Notes

Silent Pieces - Live At Dacapo is a special members-only-edition. The CD contains an imaginary silent concert and was first released in 1983 as part of the book Nie Wieder Kunst Dacap. The recordings were made during seven of the meanwhile more than 350 concerts already promoted by DACAPO, Bremen's unique concert company, which I founded in the autumn of 1985. Shortly thereafter I started to audio-record and videotape all the concerts. The Radio Bremen departments for new music and jazz have also recorded (and co-promoted) some of the concerts and the DACAPO archive is shure to grow much larger over the years. It has become an oustanding source for connoisseurs, journalists, teachers and researchers as well as it contains several hundred live documents with thousands of pieces of good music. Many wonderful musicians from all over the world have come to Bremen to perform music from very different traditions for DACAP: new music, contemporary jazz, ancient music, experimental, classical, ethnic, performance art and happenings still take place nearly every week. Every other year we go through the archive material in order to thematically combine music for special members-only-editions, available to those who join the sponsors' circle and support the organisation's work with individual gifts. DACAPO's professional label, however, is a separate entity, the d'c records gmbh, which produces and distributes live CDs of DACAPO performances in their entirety. Both d'c records and the participating musicians donate their work for the production of members-only-CDs and receive no compensation for this. My thanks to Radio Bremen and everyone who has supported this project, and thank you, dear owner of this disc. Please do listen to our growing d'c collection!
