ANNIVERSARY OFFER: SIGNED BOOK COPY
2018-08-25
+++++++++++++++SORRY, ALREADY SOLD OUT++++++++++++++
On 25 August 2017 Karl Bartos' long-awaited autobiography "Der Klang der Maschine" (The Sound Of The Machine) has been published in Germany. It's the only and first book that reveals the act of creation of Kraftwerk's music - written by someone who's belonged to the inner circle and writing team.
Although the main focus is on Kraftwerk, it is, however, a lot more than a book on the band, it’s also a book about the music that inspired him to become a musician against all odds. It’s about living in the sound of music since the Sixties and about the question how creativity developes and how the meaning of music has changed in the age of streaming.
Exclusively for our shop costumers Karl Bartos will sign a few copies (in German language). Please check out our shop! This special offer is limited and only available until Saturday, 25 August, 8 pm.
"[...] He turns out to be a passionate music historian, who knows about Igor Stravinsky as well as the Beach Boys. His curiosity and his knowledge make Bartos' autobiography Der Klang der Maschine a reading that is also interesting beyond the great theme of Kraftwerk."
Musik Express, November 2017 Readings non-stop ...
2018-05-02
Our last reading so far has been at the festival "100 Years of Beat" at the crowded audimax @ Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin. This time Karl Bartos focussed on electronic drumming and the questions: what is the nature of music and where does creativity comes from. Heiko Hoffmann, chief editor of Groove Magazin, hosted the talk. Thanks to the overwhelming resonance and the perfect HKW crew: You've made our visit very special.

Fröhliche Weihnachten und ein gutes, gesundes, wohlklingendes neues Jahr wünscht Karl Bartos und sein gesamtes Team
Merry christmas and a happy New Year from Karl Bartos and his entire team!
And now: Same procedure as every year!
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
