Fluxus meets Dada!

-----------

I first met Arma 2013 during my Europe tour with Robert Pepper and Amber from New York. PASmusiqueBrandstifter played a concert that evening at a beautiful villa in the old part of Vilnius. The house was turned into a museum dedicated to a famous Lithuanian author. I remember Arma struggling to find an open bar for some late after gig beer with us in the city. Next day we were sitting together with him and our host Ilona face to face on a round chinese restaurant table in a shopping mall at the industrial area of Vilnius.

Sometime next year, Arma played with two other artists from Lithuania in our venue Walpodenakademie in Mainz. I still can't pronounce their stage names, but you should try to read the poster in our restroom. They first performed some short kind of serious E-Musik sets, but after that we got all got very drunk, everybody was dancing and Arma played some over the top trash on his keyboard and jumped around as we had set our cozy carpet on fire. I claim this happening as the birth of the real Arma show.

Arma came back to Walpoden solo in summer, playing an intensive high energy gig. This time it was a very hot and he was sweating like hell during his artistic aerobic exercises, in his funny queer costume with a toy helmet. So next day we had to check our local toy stores for his broken laser sword...

In 2020 Arma arrived a few days before my annual birthday gig with the free collective Watercoloured Well on January 18. The project was born in 2011 when I invited some artist friends and musicians (Holger Adam, Dirk Huelstrunk, Johannes Lauxen, Carsten Olbrich, Barbara Rößler, Tanja Roolfs, Daniel Voigt) to celebrate with a free music improvisation at Walpoden.

I would have loved to include him in this year's show as my special birthday gift, but unfortunately he was not available that day. I already had set up my gear for my new year recording sessions, so we decided to do something that we have never done before...
