GAX AXEL GUNDLACH
Freie künstlerische Arbeiten wie die Multimedia-Performance "the fan tom vox" sind nicht nur das Salz in der Suppe eines Künstlerlebens, sie sind auch das
notwendige Laborexperiment für alle anderen Arbeiten und Inszenierungen. Es ist eine Fusion aus Weltmusik, Pop und Klassik, aus verschiedenen ineinander verwobenen Sprachen, die mit
dadaistischen Techniken verschmolzen werden. Eine fantastische Reise durch eine Ideenwelt, die letztlich auf Platons "Phaidon" zurückgeht.
Die Uraufführung erfolgte im Dezember 1996 in New York, womit sich unser Künstlerkollektiv moon head men auch einen persönlichen Karriere-Höhepunkt verschafft hat, von wegen: It's up to you, New
York ... ;-)

voices are the inner stargates to my real and far away world ...
the multilingual lyrics jump lines and languages by homophone syllables or ... /double meanings use strings from ... classic poetry / dada theatre / pop cultures are
expressed in music from all my worlds inside ...
on stage expressing pictures background these worlds in still photography / scans / video / paintings / animated “liquidtures” and an especially developed KaleidoCam
used live on stage ...
“nothing has to be understood, there is no truth to be taught but the one you already got the idea of. music as the one interspiritual language transmits the meaning
of the fan tom vox show by channelling all knowledge and feelings from the deep layers of our minds. The effect is made by the audience ...“
