It was twenty years ago today...

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Stolle & Member, we met  at Member's place last autumn, and we smoked a lot, drank a lot and wondered how come we were still alive.
And we got happy, and we recorded a new album, and we think it is quite good, in fact. 

The Tracks 
1. Unterwegs (1998-2018)
2. Frische Luft
3. Fighting In The War Room
4. Horse Ocean
5. Gobblefunk
6. Someday

DEADLINE by Stolle and Member

Us two not quite old men met at Stolle's place to taste some single malts and get sentimental about our pasttimes. We also managed to record some new stuff. This is a rough mix of an instrumental piece we did. More to come, maybe.
Enjoy!

New Single : STARCHILD

Hello world,

We have just finished a weekend of recording at Stolle's place. It was a hell of a ride. There will be a full length album soon, the first one in several years.
Right now, we can present a single called STARCHILD, a track we edited down from the 22 minute Album-Version to get a 3-minute song in a different mix for your listening pleasure.
Stay tuned for further stuff (we promise, really..., not like the 23 times before)!








luv, Stollllle and Member

The Mirror Shows



Hello Everybody,
greetings from Stolle & Member! Having just done the gig with Ax Genrich, which was just fantastic (and we hope to post it soon right here), we got a little special thing for you in store in the meantime. While we were thinking of the good old times and our beloved pals we had the pleasure to make music with, we spontaneously recorded this tribute to Botany Bay, Stolle's UBIK paint-colleague Stephan Kleinert. We konw we couldn't do him justice, of course, but we did it with love. Here's to you, Stephan, and for everybody else to enjoy,



luv, stolllllle & member

Stolle & Member - P.U.P. (Permanent Update Process) Edition #1

Dear listeners, today we start a series of brandnew Stolle & Member recordings. We will beginn slowly and it will take its time until you will hear its full scale.
During our recent sessions, we decided to push our musicmaking to a new level, and so we invented Permanent Update Process (P.U.P.), a new way of recording, editing and releasing music. We thought that it is high time to let some innovation into this, after all we consider us avantgarde,hehe. So after you have a look at our very trashy youtube video, you can listen to these first mp3 recordings, that we made by the way. This is some outtake material, first takes, basic tracks - untouched mp3 Quality. We also did an album's worth of multitrack stuff, which we intend to release in the future, while the process of editing and mixing is still going on.

Have fun & enjoy



Luv

Stolle & Member - Low On Battery (2009)



From some kind of view we were low on battery in 2009. Stolle & Member didn't work much as a duo in the last year. So here are the collected Stolle & Member Recordings from 2009.

Track 1 - Low on Battery (Sister Ray) was a telephone session in october, there we try to record some Sister Ray Session via phone, but Stolles Recording Unit was low on battery and so I took over to save a part of it. A great VU Cover lofi acoustic adventure.

The other two tracks are recordings from the last two MIRG meetings. Its some kind of tradition in the last years, that Stolle & Member come a bit earlier and stay a bit longer on MIRG meetings, so we can glide perfectly in and out of the process. Sometimes we made some Stolle & Member in these times, for excample LIVE AUS DER KÜCHE DES REUSCHBERGS happened like this.

Track 2 - Drop Out was a real Stolle & Member freak out on the "Über der Schmiede" Workshop in October 2008. Member played far out noise organ and structure master Stolle played bass and sang.... We chased the two others out of the room with this ecstatic piece.

Track 3 - Hell Bent For Leather was the Stolle & Member Farewell Piece on the last MIRG Workshop. A very cosmic experience with traces of Heavy Metal.

Come an get it here...

Empty Blues 2009



This time, dear reader, we are offering another compilation of music out of our beautiful emptyblaukraut-universe: EMPTY BLUES !
The name of the game here is Blues, man. From way down our very souls.
We got one cover version of Albert King's Born Under a Bad Sign, and our version of the Traditional In My Time Of Dying, both done by Stolle & Member at our legendary Reuschberg-Holiday in 2003.
The rest of the stuff, however, features our very own approach to the devil's music. All of it, as always, improvised freely and straight out of nowhere by MIRG, EGOMANIA, LAY DE FEAR and DER BERG GROOVT.
Get yourself a bottle of booze, and enjoy!

Unterwegs Mit Stolle & Member 2002



This is something special from our "Gojira"-year, 2002. One year before, we founded The Whole as our live performing project, but in the beginning of 2002 we had a crisis during our so called "Black Whole - Workshop", and so we decided to perform live as Stolle & Member. This was some kind of a life demo CD for concert organisers. Nothing happened, of course. (It was only after re-establishing The Whole as a live band, that we started performing as Stolle & Member also.)
There are some outtakes from the Gojira CD and some interesting new tracks we did later in 2002.
Gospel Road is a piece done on UBIK paint's old 8-track tape recorder.
Loop One is based on double bass loops done by member, overdubbed by stolle and then overdubbed again by member.

Stolle & Member - Dies Ist Mein Leben (2006)



These are four pieces recorded on Computer in Frankfurt & Bruchausen in 2006.

Sonne Platz is a beautiful little MIRG song which we lost the original recording of, - covered and thus saved by Stolle & Member.

Dies ist mein Leben is a long free-folk improvisation, recorded at Member's sleeping room and overdubbed at the PC.

Forbidden Planet is a space jam paying tribute the well known science fiction movie.

Kontrolle is an industrial indie song, recorded at Stolle's place to get him used to Cubase (which failed, he still refuses to record to computer).

Another diamond from out of our vaults.

See the shimmer here

Stolle & Member - Numbers (myspace - edits) (1998)

Some time ago we made a little journey through the origins of our constantly changing universe by presenting the legendary "numbers" tracks on our myspace page in edits. Here are the myspace blog entries around numbers:

Stolle & Member - "NUMBERS" on myspace (27.7. - 17.8.2007)

27.7.2007

After "Lay De Fear" fell apart in 1996, everyone went separate ways..

Chris went on doing acting workshops at the Reuschberg, hangin' around in the dark wave scene and lost contact to Stolle & Member. Stolle lived his live in Karlsruhe in the southwest of Germany, worked as a DJ and played in his band "UBIK paint". Member lived in Frankfurt played in the Crossover band "Tinnitus Mask" and in the live-electronic-project "Astrosound".

But soon Stolle & Member started an intensive exchange of letters and music. The LAY DE FEAR-experience had to be worked out, wounds had to heal, and time had to pass to get the right perspective. So they paid visits from time to time, and after two years Stolle & Member carefully began to make music together again.

This early identification phase extended over the year 1998. All developed pieces were numbered and this is why this period is called "Numbers".

1 & 2 were experimental electroacoustic pieces. Stolle & Member iniatially were not very content with the results, and so they restricted themselves in just playing two acoustic guitars, because like Holger Czukay said- restriction is the mother of the inventive play. With exception of the pieces of 20 - 23 and evenly 1 & 2 are thus all pieces of the "Numbers" series are played using just acoustic guitars. We proudly present now, in rapid consequence, edited versions of all "Numbers" pieces from 1 - 26.

30.7.2007

In the second part of our "Numbers" series comes the first highlight: 8 (eight) - a tribute to the music of "The Tiger Lillies". Member sings the heartbreaking love song about eight, the girl who has been too long with the seven boys. The song is totally free improvised and a perfect example for "Stolle & Member" Songs come out of nothingness and shine....
This was that same old magic we experienced while playing with Lay De Fear, and it finally reassured us to continue to walk that path leading through our ever-changing universe.

4.8.2007

Here's the third part of our "Numbers" Series.

9 is called "Nine Days in Hell" is a blues/gospel type of song. Stolle plays stand up bass and sings the happy lamentation.

10 is called "Zen" and a Zen way to get in our kind of music.

11 is called "Elfquest" and our meditative tribute to the comics of Richard and Wendy Pini.

12 (Twelve). Stolle sings slightly ecstatic in this wild and beautiful song.

8.8.2007

13 is called "3Zen" and our interpretation of the japanese folk song "kojo no tsuki" turning into a moody and wild balkan-gypsy style. One of the best tunes in the "Numbers" series.

14 is called "Quatorce" and its our beautyful meditation about la france

15 in the original length of 23 minutes you can find really everything we tried to achieve in the "Numbers" series. In this edit you just hear the song conclusion...and it's still a highlight.

In 16 we were just a bit of lazy, doin this again and so you can hear stolle playing a little bit of "a chien d'espace" by motorpsycho, while member is "bongsmoking"...

12.8.2007

Before we come to an end with the "Numbers" series, we get electric again in the numbers 20 –23.

20 is called "20 Umbrellas" and as you see, the experiences of the acoustic phase are now integrated in our electronic setting.

21 is called 21 "Secrets" and turned to be a typical Stolle & Member Song.

22 is a slow drone groove.

23 is a remix of a remix. Stolle did an experimental solopiece with distorted guitars & vocals called 23. Member did a techno remix of this piece and then Stolle & Member used this remixed piece as a basic for the last electronic session in the "Numbers" series.

17.8.2007

Our "numbers series comes to an end. you can listen to the last acoustic adventures of stolle and members.

19 starts as a percussion thing

24 is a beautyful acoustic tune after the electric experiences of 20 - 23.

25 is called I don't need you. it's a kind of punk thing.

26 is called "Nobody needs 26", and after that we consequently stopped the series, started to develop our electro-acoustic recording setting, and began the sessions that led to the fire experience and the "Elemente" CD, the first proper record of stolle & member.

The myspace edits are lost, now you get the 320 rated versions in 5 parts.

Numbers 1
Numbers 2
Numbers 3
Numbers 4
Numbers 5

Enjoy

Stolle & Member - DOPE EP (2001)



Time to jump into the time machine again and travel into the year 2001. Dope was an EP accompaniying our "Doppelalbum". Some kind of tribute to VU's Sister Ray, this became a drug influenced guitar noise piece. Back then we felt it didn't quite fit in the more pop-ish style of the Doppelalbum, so we created this EP. You get 4 different mixes and a 2001 re-visit to our track "23" from 1998, the beginning of the Stolle & Member work as a duo, in the so called "Numbers" - Era. More about Numbers in our next post.
The DOPE EP. Experimental Guitar Noise Drone Work. A exiting find from out of our vaults.

2008/2009


This is A Compilation of Music we did in 2008 & 2009. Some of the tracks you might know from previous posts, while others are unreleased until now.
"CD 1" shows some new tracks of Egomania, Members Solo Project, some pieces of "Der Berg Groovt", Members Hippie Neighbour Collective, and the complete soundcheck of "Damo Suzuki & The Whole"'s last concert in december last year.
The focus on "CD 2" is on "MIRG", "Steffi & Stolle" & "Stolle & Member". Steffi & Stolle is a one of our rare and always delightful "half-mirg"-projects. Steffi & Stolle are the two singer/songwriter type of musicians, while the other two Marcus & Member are more kind of a free flow kind and not so well musically educated.... whatever that means. This is the first time Steffi & Stolle joined as a duo, because Steffi wished to make a Blues record with Stolle. They met last year at Stolle's place and did some wonderful and very recommended recordings, although not quite Blues. Listen to it here for the first time, and maybe we are posting more of this beautiful music. Same thing with the music of MIRG. We meet just once a year, making the most beautiful music, record it ... just to disappear in our archives. Here are three incredible pieces made during our last meeting at the Akademie Reuschberg.
The Stolle & Member tracks were posted here before.
Enjoy this ride through our constantly changing Universe.

Get the whole thing here and here.

Stolle & Member - Sonntags Aufm Dorf 2008

Welcome to the next chapter of the Adventures of Stolle & Member's July 2008 Recordings!
This time we present you some more song- and freak-folk-oriented tunes.
The title "Sonntags Aufm Dorf" means Sunday in the village, because Stolle lives in a little village and enjoys it pretty much. This is the shortest mix of this original 15 minutes piece, maybe later we might release some more of this.
At the beginning of our meeting, Stolle's girlfriend was still there, trying to get a ride to Berlin, and so Stolle sings for her "
I wanna go to Berlin" in the second song.
"
Ohne Strom" was one of our best, sadly unrecorded tunes, so we use the lyrics of the song to overdub another.
"
I'm a Funky Brother" was a little funky track that we recorded to calm down right after the "When The Machines Rock" -Experience.
"
Das Grammophon" was an overdub made by Member during the master process at his home, using a radio and vocals.
"
Soundcheck" was the very first track we recorded as a recording soundcheck.
"
Öffne Dein Herz" -Open Your Heart is a beautiful little tune with acoustic guitars and toy keyboard.
"
10 Jahre 98" is a two-acoustic-guitars-tune, as we did way back in the days of our "Numbers-" Period in 1998, which had been the start of Stolle and Member as a Duo.
"
Dogyo Ninin" is a electro-acoustic piece with the use of distortion and feedback on percussion and keyboards. The track title was inspired by Ian McDonald's SciFi Book "Scissors Cut Paper Wrap Stone"
The Centerpiece of these tunes is a track called "Die Fingur". An electro-acoustic tour de force using delayed toy keys, bass, flute, zither and several percussion. In this track and also in "Das Grammophon" we use Poems of Christian Morgenstern, a well-known german writer.
We hope you will enjoy our journeys! More adventures soon will come.

Listen to three tracks.

This one is a 50-minute-impro which occasionally turned into a cover of an old Lay De Fear- Tune called WHEN THE MACHINES ROCK.
