I recorded “dark side” two years after the “obsessive CDs”.
It was summer, it was hot and I recorded many jazz standards for some days (which were published on the CD “quiet nights” four Years later (!). Then I continued recording some blues and boogies. On the total I had been recording for about two weeks, the last days the blues and boogie and my mind and my body were showing the first signs of exhaustion..So one evening I was lying in the bath tube and sayed to myself: “and, that was it? blues and boogie? is that what you want for you? Now?” and I felt that something “wanted out” of me. So I left the bathtube, went into the recording room nearby, turned on the tape-recorder and played like in trance for 65 Minutes continiously. And with the last tone I knew the title: “dark side”. After these 65 Minutes I quit recording the blues and boogies and knew, that it all was just the environment” for “dark side”...
Georg Weidinger (piano solo)
65 minutes, in one piece.
"dark side was recorded in one piece, a concert without audience…
…there weren`t any tones changed or cuts made afterwards...
...a meditation on the piano to create a consciousness expanding music from a different world..." g. w.
“dark side wurde in einem Stück aufgenommen, ein Konzert ohne Puplikum…
…es wurde kein Ton geändert oder geschnitten…
…eine Meditation am Klavier, die uns in eine andere Welt entführt, eine Welt ohne Zeit…”
g. w.

Reviews:
“…einerseits Reduktion, andererseits diese zeitliche Ausdehnung ohne Widerspruch… …
DAS zentrale Werk von Georg Weidinger…” ( Giselher Smekal, zeitton )
