He was quite prolific in the 90's yet hasn't released anything under his own name since Mute Massaker in 2000.
Anyone know his whereabouts and what's he's doing? |

I have been wondering the same thing. I saw him play once and it was pretty astounding. All tips welcome!

when i interviewed page hamilton, he told me he lost contact with him, pretty much nobody knows where he is and that he rarely sees him play out, if he would, he'd go and watch him play.

Next time I see Peter (his father) maybe i'll ask him. Friends of mine are friends with Peter Brotzmann (legendary improv sax maniac!) and he comes here to play once or twice a year...

A bit of an update on the whereabouts of brotzmann junior.
I found some film of him playing a show in April this year with fm einheit in Porto. Einheit's myspace blog (posted just after the gig) makes reference to Brotzmann taking time out to bring up his baby son. So perhaps he's starting to get active again now. Hope so. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=F.M.+Einheit+%26+Caspar+Br%C3 %B6tzmann+&search=Search |

^ Most of them are available from amazon uk marketplace except black axis, which I don't have.
Massaker's Koksofen is my favourite. I saw him live promoting this album too, fantastic. |

Brotzmann was one of the many contributors to Sanctuary, by Einstuerzende Neubauten's Alex Hacke:
You don’t necessarily have to go into a studio or on stage to record an album. In the new millennium one just packs the equipment into a small knapsack and roams about as in the dark ages: A hunter and collector. Hacke does it like this: He flies to the USA for example and visits his friends. Most of them are musicians. He asks whether he could record something with them and plays them the material he gathered elsewhere. By these means transports his loot from one location to the next. gaining every place he goes. Always leaving parts behind, going further and picking up another batch, collecting audio in many places, pressing the record-button in various situations. The location does have an impact on the perception. Concentrating on details that would be out of focus otherwise. Drive-In and Take-Away instead of Delivery-Service! Hacke is compiling a menu of specialties by digging and researching, not trying to preserve his finds or to put them on a pedestal. Instead the audio-tracks are keepsakes he then filters, processes and mixes or partly even chucks out in order to make room for even more advanced creations. Applying a subtle cartography all the while not intending to be accurate. It is not about the exact reproduction of the before measured territory. Insignificant places get magnified out of proportion, capitals are being ignored on the world-map and entire landscapes are inverted. Back in Berlin he then edits the clippings of his travel-itinerary and the local directory in order to build his sanctuary. Participating musicians: J.G. Thirlwell (Foetus) Larry 7 (The Analog Society) Vinnie Signiorelli (Unsane) Larry Mullins (Toby Damnit) Michael Evans (KBZ 200) Algis Kizys (Swans) Sugarpie Jones (Celebrity Skin) Don Bolles (Germs) David Yow (The Jesus Lizard) Trailer Hitch Bob Rutman (Steel Cello Ensemble) Chrislo Haas (Liaisons Dangereuses) Buddy Sacher (Ars Vitalis) Caspar Brötzmann (Massaker) Zeitblom Gordon W. (Fuzzy Love) Andrew Chudy (Einstürzende Neubauten) The Boy From Brazil Nils Wohlrabe (The Leather Nun) Gianna Nannini This was released in 2005, but I don't know over what period of time it was recorded. |
