only recently the music of shape sp has been described by a transylvanian
journalist as "the search for the ultimate frisson, a flirtation with cruelty,
a sterile and perverse romanticism, an exhausted and passive sense of dissolution
and a degenerate indulgence"

Take me by the hand;
it's so easy for you, Angel,
for you are the road
even while being immobile.

You see, I'm scared no one
here will look for me again;
I couldn't make use of
whatever was given,

so they abandoned me.
At first the solitude
charmed me like a prelude,
but so much music wounded me.

“Hit The Single – A Tribute To Kurt J. Moser’s Hit Single” kostenlos downloaden auf www.airbagpromo.com/records

Im Frühjahr 2011 hat der am Deutschnonsberg ansässige Singer/Songwriter Kurt J. Moser gemeinsam mit dem Südtiroler Netlabel Airbagpromo Records einen Aufruf gestartet und die Südtiroler Musikszene aufgefordert, seinen ironischen Song „Hit Single“ in ihr eigenes Gewand zu packen. Aus dieser Idee entstand eine bunte Zusammenstellung, die den Song in den verschiedensten Musikrichtungen zeigt.
Die Compilation „Hit The Single – A Tribute To Kurt J. Moser’s Hit Single“ ist ab sofort als kostenloser, legaler Download über die Website www.airbagpromo.com/records erhältlich.

Nella primavera del 2011, il cantautore Kurt J. Moser, originario dell’Alta Val di Non, assieme alla netlabel Airbagpromo Records si è rivolto a tutta la scena musicale altoatesina con la proposta di creare delle cover della sua canzone ironica dal titolo “Hit Single”. Proprio da questa idea è nato un mix di canzoni appartenenti ai generi musicali più vari.

In spring 2011 the singer/songwriter Kurt J. Moser from Deutschnonsberg and the netlabel Airbagpromo Records asked the public to get creative, grab their instruments and mics, and record a cover of Kurt’s ironic song „Hit Single“. This idea motivated people to send in their own version of the song, leading to 9 results in different styles. For you, we packed the original song and all these cover versions on our new compilation called „Hit The Single – A Tribute To Kurt J. Moser’s Hit Single“.

Enjoy the music from the following contributing artists: Kurt J. Moser (Singer/Songwriter), Jörg Zemmler (Electronic), Jesus Christ Superfuzz (Garage Rock), WIARM (Indietronic), ADM (Spacedoom/Ambient), Jambalaya News (Country), Jim Pansen (Schmock-Pop), Corax (Dubstep Breakbeat) and rhd feat.

The Remains

I empty myself of the names of others. I empty my pockets.
I empty my shoes and leave them beside the road.
At night I turn back the clocks;
I open the family album and look at myself as a boy.

What good does it do? The hours have done their job.
I say my own name. I say goodbye.
The words follow each other downwind.
I love my wife but send her away.

My parents rise out of their thrones
into the milky rooms of clouds. How can I sing?
Time tells me what I am. I change and I am the same.

Keeping Things Whole

2011-04-30T01:00:00.001+02:00

In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.

When I walk
I part the air
and always
the air moves in
to fill the spaces
where my body's been.

We all have reasons
for moving.
I move
to keep things whole.

Inhale Exhale

2011-04-08T20:33:00.001+02:00

Inhale resolve, Exhale ambition
Inhale all I need, Exhale all I want
Inhale love of life, Exhale fear of death
Inhale power, Exhale force

I have all I need
I can live without

Inhale tolerance, Exhale judgement
Inhale what I am, Exhale what I think I am

I have all I need
I can live without

Don't hold me down

Inhale fact, Exhale assumption
Inhale what I want to be, Exhale how I want to be seen

Don't hold me down

I have all I need
I can live without

Eden

2011-01-15T13:58:00.004+01:00

"And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about. I can understand why a system built on pattern must destroy the free mind, for that is one thing which can by inspection destroy such a system. Surely I can understand this, and I hate it and I will fight against it to preserve the one thing that seperates us from the uncreative beasts. If the glory can be killed, we are lost."

A Minor Bird

2010-12-27T13:20:00.000+01:00

I have wished a bird would fly away,
And not sing by my house all day;

Have clapped my hands at him from the door
When it seemed as if I could bear no more.

The fault must partly have been in me.
The bird was not to blame for his key.

And of course there must be something wrong
In wanting to silence any song.

Why Literature?

2010-10-07T22:37:00.001+02:00

"...I am convinced that a society without literature, or a society in which literature has been relegated--like some hidden vice--to the margins of social and personal life, and transformed into something like a sectarian cult, is a society condemned to become spiritually barbaric, and even to jeopardize its freedom. I wish to offer a few arguments against the idea of literature as a luxury pastime, and in favor of viewing it as one of the most primary and necessary undertakings of the mind, an irreplaceable activity for the formation of citizens in a modern and democratic society, a society of free individuals."

Mario Vargas Llosa

We Stopped at Perfect Days

2010-09-05T15:53:00.000+02:00

We stopped at perfect days
and got out of the car. 
The wind glanced at her hair. 
It was as simple as that. 
I turned to say something--

Richard Brautigan

nice summer's ending tune

2010-09-02T16:04:00.002+02:00

Maggie and Milly and Molly and May
Went down to the beach (to play one day)

And Maggie discovered a shell that sang
So sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and

Milly befriended a stranded star
Whose rays five languid fingers were;

And Molly was chased by a horrible thing
Which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

May came home with a smooth round stone
As small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
It's always ourselves we find in the sea

e.e.cummings

Superreiche verschenken ihr Vermögen

2010-08-10T17:41:00.016+02:00

US-Milliardäre verschenken Hälfte ihres Vermögens

„In der armseligen Reihe der Tugenden ist jene des Schenkens wahrscheinlich die überschätzteste.Schenken erbaut vor allem den Spender, erhöht sein Ich, verleiht ihm eine Überlegenheit über den Beschenkten, macht ihn größer, bläht ihn auf.Häufig verbirgt sich darin, ein selbstsüchtiges Lustverlangen, das sich schon manchmal als böse und schädlich erwies. Man denke nur an einige unser wölfischen Finanzmagnaten, die zwei Drittel ihres Daseins darauf verwandten, den Eingeweiden der Gesellschaft Riesenvermögen zu entreißen, um im letzten Drittel einen Teil davon gratis zu retournieren! Ihre Philanthropie als eine Art angstvoller Wiedergutmachung zu erklären, genügt nicht; noch weniger die Erklärung, ihr Charakter habe sich nach Befriedigung ihrer Geldgier geändert. Unersättlichkeit ist nicht zu sättigen; das liegt in ihrem Wesen. Ob so Geartete raffen oder spendieren, der psychische Impuls ist in beiden Fällen der gleiche. Denn Geben schafft ein ebenso großes Überlegenheits – und Machtgefühl wie das Ansichreißen, und Wohltätigkeit dürfte sich oft genug als eine Erscheinungsform der Habgier erweisen. Es ist so einfach und lohnend, zu geben.

Hingegen das richtige, gute Empfangen erheischt eine in Selbstkenntnis und Güte fein ausgeglichene Seele, braucht Demut, Takt und tiefes Verstehen. Als der Empfangende stehst du nicht einmal vor dir selbst stärker und weiser dar als der Geber und musst doch weiser sein, um der Gabe gut sein zu können. Um ein stets Empfangender zu sein, braucht es Selbstachtung, nicht etwa Selbstliebe, keine Eigenliebe, nur eine freundliche, selbstverständliche, angenehme Bekanntschaft mit dem eigenen Ich.“

John Steinbeck: "Logbuch des Lebens" 1951

The fight to be human

2010-06-26T00:28:00.001+02:00

The Fight to be Human (extract)

I stand on a mountain of pitiful prose
My mind is a fountain that pointlessly flows
They give you a trophy if you make the kids scream
But it's such a joke to me; how insipid I've been.

I used to believe in the goodness of man
But not anymore since I became one of them
So I hoodwinked my woman and bought her a ring
But like the fight to be human- it don't mean anything.
Like the fight to be human, it don't mean anything.

My body's a riot; my mind's the police
I feed myself lies to enforce some peace
Tell people I love them; shake idiot's hands
And sometimes I hug them as custom demands

And the harder it gets now the softer I sing
Cause the fight to be human don't mean anything
Yeah the fight to be human; it don't mean anything

Why Did I Dream of You Last Night?

2010-06-06T21:15:00.001+02:00

Why did I dream of you last night?
    Now morning is pushing back hair with grey light
  Memories strike home, like slaps in the face;
Raised on elbow, I stare at the pale fog
          beyond the window.

    So many things I had thought forgotten
  Return to my mind with stranger pain:
- Like letters that arrive addressed to someone
Who left the house so many years ago.

 Philip Larkin

WAGES

2009-06-17T00:05:00.002+02:00

The wages of work is cash.
The wages of cash is want more cash.
The wages of want more cash is vicious competition.
The wages of vicious competition is - the world we live in.

The work-cash-want circle is the viciousest circle
that ever turned men into fiends.

Earning a wage is a prison occupation
and a wage-earner is a sort of gaol-bird.

Earning a salary is a prison overseer's job
a gaoler instead of a gaol-bird.

Living on our income is strolling grandly outside the prison
in terror lest you have to go in. And since the work-prison covers
almost every scrap of the living earth, you stroll up and down
on a narrow beat, about the same as a prisoner taking exercise.

This is called universal freedom.

I Am in Need of Music

2009-05-23T16:01:00.008+02:00

I am in need of music that would flow
Over my fretful, feeling fingertips,
Over my bitter-tainted, trembling lips,
With melody, deep, clear, and liquid-slow.
Oh, for the healing swaying, old and low,
Of some song sung to rest the tired dead,
A song to fall like water on my head,
And over quivering limbs, dream flushed to glow!

There is a magic made by melody:
A spell of rest, and quiet breath, and cool
Heart, that sinks through fading colors deep
To the subaqueous stillness of the sea,
And floats forever in a moon-green pool,
Held in the arms of rhythm and of sleep.

Elizabeth Bishop

Evening Waterfall

Evening Waterfall What was the name you called me?- And why did you go so soon? The crows lift their caw on the wind, And the wind changed and was lonely. The warblers cry their sleepy-songs Across the valley gloaming, Across the cattle-horns of early stars. Feathers and people in the crotch of a treetop Throw an evening waterfall of sleepy-songs. What was the name you called me?- And why did you go so soon? Carl Sandburg

2009-01-17T23:11:00.000+01:00

Acquainted with the Night I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain - and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes,unwilling to explain. I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-by; And further still at an unearthly height One luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night. Robert Frost
