Bach-Bukowski is a Baroque/Blues-fusion that challenges the musical convention.
Driving counterpoint flows in union with the evocative writing of American beat-poet Charles Bukowski. Piano-vocalist Willem van Ekeren weaves together 22 poems of Bukowski's work with 22 parts of 'The Well-Tempered Clavier' of J.S. Bach. The texts are sung with a raw bluesy voice over authentic baroque music played on the piano.
The famous preludes and fugues form a flowing, essential part of each song. Willem simply adds a voice-line to combine the two media. The melody, phrasing and Willem's voice support each other as the poem reaches out to the audience. This melts into Bach's music.
The 1. Bach-Bukowski cd with 13 songs was released in 2003. Willem has performed in several countries: regular concerts and festival activities like Bach festivals, musical events and literary. He now sings nine more BB songs. Three of them already are recorded on the 3-song-CD TRIPLE.
The 2. BB album is on its way!

Speaking into the second microphone, I recited with emotion matching the music, the last parts of P.B. Shelly's "Ode to Anarchy" I think its title was. Way strong results, but can't duplicate it now 'cause no 8 track tape players are available to transfer the sound to PC digital format.
Greetings, Fabian.
in the middle of the video is caused by the software that I use for my video...
I can not remove them and do not work for copyright, I have to find another program to do my video.
