    barbara morgenstern: the grass is always greener 

    at last a new solo album by the queen of fragile and poetic electro-pop - now introducing the piano. it's three years since barbara morgenstern’s acclaimed album nichts muss and as the grass is always greener goes to show, she has come a long way. her goethe institut sponsored world tour and many recent collaborations with, among others, robert lippok and bill wells have cleary been an inspiration for this album. morgenstern’s music has gained a bold maturity. her unmistakeable voice and warm piano style make for an unique sound. this album is the perfection of minimal elegance. the album was produced by herself and mixed together with bernd jestram from tarwater.

    BARBARA MORGENSTERN
    „KLEINER AUSSCHNITT“ dvd

    On this DVD compilation 10 artists, from musician to VJ, from the Netherlands via Berlin, Dresden and Hamburg to London, have taken tracks from “nichts muss” to wed intimacy and electronics, each in their own inimitable way.
    No matter if enticingly blurred caresses (Gute Nacht), a race against the self (Move) or classic, deconstructive graphic and video art (Is) – “Kleiner Ausschnitt” (small detail) is no regular video collection, but a very personal view of Barbara’s innermost substance, combining her unique lack of distance (as seen in her live shows), music, lyrics and personality with the filmmakers’ own visions, who go on to underline, contrast, enhance, change, abstract and contextualise this proximity.
    Barbara herself pops up just once. Barely there, distorted, almost too close, but only just. And then, in the accompanying introduction, she shows herself: to explain, recount, relate – completely unafraid of exposing her innermost self.
    Kleiner Ausschnitt: a small detail and deep insight into one of Germany’s most challenging songwriters.

    Press comments:

    ....You could have called that work Indietronic, but the term didn`t exist at the time. Even now, two years later, it won`t fit. yet it comes to mind, because `Fjorden` has obviously been recorded with new equipment and new technique. Still working out of her own studio, using sampler and sequencer in her instrumentation, Barbara Morgenstern tells us stories. Her wonderful, heartbreaking voice, adds context to the beats and sounds."Fjorden", with its warm analog sound, is like a good friend visiting - rotating in your cd player. You are not alone. Barbara Morgenstern is there with her music. And it`s wonderful that she`s there!....
     Jan Ole Jöhnk, 8/2000

     „...she captures odd sounds in her net -- cello draughts, a fly buzzing through a room, electric guitars that blast like gridlocked trucks -- and flows them seamlessly into the pop...“
     Other Music NY, 10/2000

     „...Assisted this time by like-minded button-pushers Pole, To Roccoco Rot´s Robert Lippok...their dynamic input and polished experimental sheen hugely benefit Morgenstern´s pop values“ NME, 10/2000
