is my fourth production. And the first live recording. 

This is a double CD. The first part is jazz!

Together with the completly different "Pečo liest Pečo" - which is poesie and music* .

Both CDs I recorded during my 55,555 birthday party in August 2009. I invited some friends with a request for playing a solo for me as a birthday present. But this idea wasn't really to realize. 

They played together, smoking and drinking, beer and wine, and the laughing destroyed all my intentions to do some clean records for further overdubs by myself.

What should i do?

I put a good face on the matter and recorded all the racket and made this record. 

F. Hofer

The second part is Pečo.

If you don't speak german, forget this production immediately. 

Pečo reads his own (german spoken) texts and I made some matching music to it. The music is secondary, only the frame.

But if you speak german - attention:  this texts are not made for bibliophiles. Pečo the wordsmith grooves in his empty skull room, writing rogue invitations to banksters and notorious hymns to our (austrian) republic.

It's nearly a late Ixthuluh recording in this cast , only Max Wedl and his sax is absent.

I wished, my guests shoud each play a track for me for my free disposal,

but we got this session, playing together.

I took the records some months later, cutted and cleaned the material, 

and put my percussion overdubs on it.

And I confess, I like it.

This is not Mud Shurko - this is Geiblinger-Lasser-MudShurko.

With a big help from my friends.

Pečo Gerbert Brendtner - Voice
MudShurko - Drums, Percussion, Bass, Guitar, Synthesizer

   

Pečo has read this late in the night, and I recorded, evidently.
The music was overdubbed during the winter months, using basic midi files
from unknown sequencers, which I found in the web.
Thank you, unknown guys, for your  help!
Only the sequencer of  "die Zeit und ihre Auswirkungen" is known, it's Barry Taylor.
I used this basic files, put something in and something out,
completed with my drums and some keyboard lines,
changed instruments and made this frame music from.

         * I did this based on the model of Vollenweider/Bardet's "Poesie And Music"
