Dystopianern

Dystopianern is to be understood as a universal Kunstwerk. Specifically, an album will be produced in different formats: vinyl and CD accompanied by a book. Dystopianern is the first electro-acoustic chanson cabaret of the 2020s. The songs will be produced together with Ira B. In terms of musical influences, think Brecht/Weill meets German New Wave, Stravinsky and electronic dance music. There will be many exciting collaborations with excellent musicians. Texts and music explore dystopia-utopia, anti-fascism, decadence, glamour, lust and langour. There will also be an art book containing lyrics by Ira B. and drawings by Zygmunt Blazejewski. We also plan to shoot a video featuring many of Munichʼs leading lights. And we will perform at various locations in freestyle formations, creating fresh spaces for our content. We will document it all on film to create and connect new spaces.

Revolution! And to make a fabulous album. And a book. And a video. Then stage the whole thing in concerts and bedazzle the gods and goddesses. Bring people together. In creation and celebration. Call out the Nazis, racists, homophobes. Strike a blow for glamour. And a new kind of chanson. Sprinkle a little chuzpa about. Our audience already know who they are: lovers of good music of all eras, of chanson, electronic dance music, experimental minimalism, jazz maximalism, grime, opera, dubstep, etc. People who abhor the Nazi worm infesting our body politic. Those who would feel at home in a 20s cabaret. Those who long for something more. Who love champagne. Or whatever your tipple. The insatiable. The indomitable. Who know how to celebrate life – while painting it in the blackest of colors.

Because you are very, very smart. You love good music. Kurt Weill, Kraftwerk, Tom Waits, Stravinsky, electronic dance music. You love Brecht. And art. You want to be part of the revolution. And... get great gifts: records, CDs, books, concerts, poems, studio visits, pasta dinners, and listen to opera.

We invest everything in champagne. Joking aside, all musicians, producers, the project manager, the web designer, graphic designer, filmmakers, assistants, and everyone Iʼve forgotten here now will be properly remunerated. Weʼll go straight to the recording studio. If we exceed our first goal of €5,000, through the support of kind, smart people such as yourselves, we produce cds and records and books in larger quantities. If the enthusiasm exceeds the €14,000 mark, weʼll shoot a video, advertise it far and wide, and then celebrate life and art at the release concert.
