Ich habe inzwischen so viele Konzerte von Martin Kohlstedt miterlebt und bin nach wie vor auf's Neue ergriffen. Dabei spielt es nicht wirklich eine Rolle, ob es sich um das solo Piano- oder (wie hier) das Elektronik-Set handelt. Von introvertiert zu extrovertiert braucht es nur wenige Noten.

 

Wer auch mal von solchen Gefühlsausbrüchen während eines Konzertes mitgenommen werden möchte, sollte sich bei Gelegenheit eines seiner Konzerte gönnen.

I was a great admirer of Chick Corea, but - lacking any real talent - was completely incapable of playing like him, so made up my own bad imitation.

Founding member and keyboardist of Pink Floyd, he passed away yesterday after a brief fight against cancer. This morning, in celebration of his life and his timeless contributions to the music world, I'm playing a few of the Pink Floyd classics he wrote, co-wrote or sang on. RIP Rick, thanks for all the music.

 

Dave Gilmour's website comments on Rick's passing

 

No one can replace Richard Wright. He was my musical partner and my friend.

 

In the welter of arguments about who or what was Pink Floyd, Rick's enormous input was frequently forgotten.

 

He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognised Pink Floyd sound.

 

I have never played with anyone quite like him. The blend of his and my voices and our musical telepathy reached their first major flowering in 1971 on 'Echoes'. In my view all the greatest PF moments are the ones where he is in full flow. After all, without 'Us and Them' and 'The Great Gig In The Sky', both of which he wrote, what would 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' have been? Without his quiet touch the Album 'Wish You Were Here' would not quite have worked.

 

In our middle years, for many reasons he lost his way for a while, but in the early Nineties, with 'The Division Bell', his vitality, spark and humour returned to him and then the audience reaction to his appearances on my tour in 2006 was hugely uplifting and it's a mark of his modesty that those standing ovations came as a huge surprise to him, (though not to the rest of us).

 

Like Rick, I don't find it easy to express my feelings in words, but I loved him and will miss him enormously.

Nick Mason's comments on Rick's passing;

Losing Rick is like losing a family member - in a fairly dysfunctional family. He's been in my life for 45 years, longer than my children and longer than my wife. It brings one's own mortality closer. I'll remember Rick with great affection. He was absolutely the non-contentious member of the band and probably suffered for it. I wouldn't say he was easy-going, but he certainly never pushed to any aggravation. It made life a lot easier.

 

I first met Rick at the Regent Street College of Architecture. And I think Rick was always pretty much that same character I met in 1962. Rock'n'roll is a Peter Pan existence; no one ever grows up. Over a period, we gravitated towards the people who were less interested in architecture and more in going to the pictures and making music. The band happened a couple of years later. We all had very different ways of working. He always knew what he wanted to do and had a unique approach to playing. I saw an interview he did on TV, and he said it clearly: "Technique is so secondary to ideas." Roger [Waters] said the more technique you have, the more you can copy. Despite having some training, Rick found his own way.

 

To some extent, I think, the recognition for what he did in the band was a bit light. He was a writer as well as a keyboard player, and he sang. The keyboard in particular creates the sound of a band. By definition, in a rock'n'roll band people remember the guitar solo, the lead vocal or the lyric content. But a lot of people listen to our music in a different way. The way Rick floats the keyboard through the music is an integral part of what people recognise as Pink Floyd. He wrote "The Great Gig in the Sky" and the music for "Us and Them".

 

We were a very close-knit band and one always has the memory of that. We spent a lot of time together between 1967 and the mid-1970s. Rick was a very gentle soul. My image of Rick would be him sitting at the keyboard playing when all the fireworks were going on around him. That's the main quality one remembers, in a band where Roger and David [Gilmour] were more strident about what they believed should be done.

 

If there's something that feels like a legacy, it's Live 8 [July 2005, Hyde Park] and the fact that we did surmount any disagreements and managed to play together. It was the greatest occasion.

 

Roger Waters comment on Rick's passing;

 

"I was very sad to hear of Rick's premature death, I knew he had been ill, but the end came suddenly and shockingly. My thoughts are with his family, particularly [his daughters] Jamie and Gala and their mum Juliet, who I knew very well in the old days, and always liked very much and greatly admired.

 

"As for the man and his work, it is hard to overstate the importance of his musical voice in the Pink Floyd of the '60s and '70s. The intriguing, jazz influenced, modulations and voicings so familiar in 'Us and Them' and 'Great Gig in the Sky,' which lent those compositions both their extraordinary humanity and their majesty, are omnipresent in all the collaborative work the four of us did in those times. Rick's ear for harmonic progression was our bedrock.

 

"I am very grateful for the opportunity that Live 8 afforded me to engage with him and David [Gilmour] and Nick [Mason] that one last time. I wish there had been more."

  

ECHOES...

 

"Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air

And deep beneath the rolling waves

In labyrinths of coral caves

The echo of a distant time

Comes willowing across the sand

And everything is green and submarine.

 

And no-one called us to the land

And no-one knows the wheres or whys

But something stirs and something tries

And starts to climb towards the light

 

Strangers passing in the street

By chance two separate glances meet

And I am you and what I see is me

And do I take you by the hand

And lead you through the land

And help me understand the best I can

 

And no-one calls us to move on

And no-one forces down our eyes

And no-one speaks and no-one tries

And no-one flies around the sun

 

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes

inciting and inviting me to rise

And through the window in the wall

Come streaming in on sunlight wings

A million bright ambassadors of morning

 

And no-one sings me lullabies

And no-one makes me close my eyes

And so I throw the windows wide

And call to you across the sky..."

Michael Kiwanuka winner of BBC's Sound of 2012 in "The Bees" Paul Butler's studio on the Isle Of White with a Reslo RB Ribbon Microphone dangling nicely in front of a Fender Twin valve amp.

 

Often compared to a string of legends such as Bill Withers & Van Morrison, he's definitely his own man with his own style, a man of analogue style.

 

The picture of Michael above was taken by photographer Samuel John Butt himself a big fan of the analogue process in photography, music & film. The picture below is of Michael in London's Toerag Studios.
