Brass music at a German town village fest – a metal festival on the Italian island of Sardinia


In the middle of their performance – a day before with the stage still empty
This was the band and this was the audience! Cellpic Sunday
The hedgehogs are raising hell in the park.
Hence the sign, I suppose.

I’m not sure about the exclusivity of “food of love” but what would we be without music? So – play on, give me excess of it!
As we should currently experience live music only outside and not in indoor-venues, here are three examples with completely different styles of music.

This colourful group, called the Pantoffelgugge, are the musical troupe of a local carnival club. They have their big moments during the carnival season in winter but they take part in other local traditions. This picture was taken a few years ago at our local spring parade. Their style of music is quite unique, this is how the English wikipedia describes it: “It is a strongly rhythmic music of distinctive style played with brass instruments, pipes and drums. Although melodies remain clearly recognizable, they are at times played “off-key”, intentionally and often quite skillfully. Driven by a dominant rhythm section, the music sounds twisted and thrilling, very danceable and perfect for spontaneous street concerts during the “wild days” of Carnival.”


When on a visit to a local small lake last autumn the atmosphere was magically transformed by the eerie and very beautiful notes coming from this man playing his pan flute. I took the picture from the opposite bank.

Quite contrary, this car number plate from Croatia seems to have a rather disrespectful opinion about the driver of its vehicle.

#20 for Tourmaline’s Halloween Challenge: Music.

This is the statue of Pan in the castle gardens of Schwetzingen, Germany. He can be found on top of a grotto not far away from a statue of Apollo with his lyre – so much more elegant (and a lot less fun, I imagine). The title is a quote from the English Wikipedia entry on Pan.

This poster is a wordplay in German on “frisch gestrichen” – (literally: freshly painted – the wordplay in English – “wet song” wouldn’t really work).
