PlayUp preview - listen to Burnt Friedman feat. Theo Altenberg:
Burnt Friedman and Theo Altenberg dance with the ball. The German Electro Master Bernd ‚Burnt’ Friedman has just released his new album Secret Rhythms with Jaki Liebezeit and a new Flanger album with Atom™. His collaboration with David Sylvian under the name of „Nine Horses“ was released in October 2005 and received great critical acclaim. Visual artist Theo Altenberg is featured here as singer. His relationship with football dates back to 1965 when his favourite team Borussia Mönchengladbach became part of Germany’s premiere devision. Theo Altenberg worked with Otto Muehl and Joseph Beuys amongst others and very often explored the connection between football and the arts world in his work.
Burnt Friedman featuring Theo Altenberg
“… “Surprise Me” is trying to compress the complexity, the energetic power and the theatrical drama of the play from 90 minutes down to 3 minutes 20. No intro, immediate start of the game, getting close to the penalty area. … Wanna see you dancin’ with the ball. Slow Down. Stop. Need more speed. Make me turnin’ around.”
Theo Altenberg
Theo Altenberg: vocals
Manjao Faty: guitars

Produced and arranged by B. Friedman in Cologne 2005
