(As a visitor and as an artist)<\/strong><br\/>I played five times as Sieben, the first time in 2000. Unbelievable! And maybe four more years when we performed with <strong>Sol Invictus<\/strong> &#8211; that must have been around 1997, the first time. I can&#8217;t remember the date, but I can remember the great times. And I played (during these visits) with <strong>Hecate<\/strong>, <strong>Job Karma<\/strong>, <strong>7JK <\/strong>and <strong>Goethes Erben<\/strong>. Great times.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What did you think before the gig and how do you look back on it today?<\/strong><br\/>I&#8217;m very concentrated beforehand and have to mentally prepare myself to remember all the loop parts, the right loop, the right place and right effect to put in. But that&#8217;s all I practiced and prepared beforehand. I try to stay inactive while scanning all the items I need. After that it&#8217;s like &#8220;waaaa&#8221;&#8216;, the mind is a blur, and in this case a really satisfied blur of a great gig, sound, lights and audience. (smiles)<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Which song did you particularly like to play?<\/strong><br\/>After settling in, finding my rhythm and calm, I really enjoyed the second half of the set, especially my new single &#8220;Buried in Snow&#8221;, which is not out yet, but it was a great way to end my set. Quite a powerful piece. At the end I played a somewhat silly cover of &#8220;Lullaby&#8221;. (grins)<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Were there any personal meetings that meant a lot to you?<\/strong><br\/>There were many personal meetings. Our scene(s) are a family. Playing &#8220;Peterson&#8217;s Seat,&#8221; for example, reminded me of Goethes Erben, since I played that song a lot on their tour I did with them in 2022. I dedicated this song to Oswald and thanked him for arranging my WGT performance. &#8220;Buried in Snow&#8221; is very personal, one of those songs where a musician turned a horrible experience into a (hopefully) decent song. (winks)<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What will you remember for a long time from this year&#8217;s WGT?<\/strong><br\/>I will remember the nice meetings with the people of &#8220;Lockdown Sieben&#8221;, and my patrons. Many of this group only met online during my livestream concerts (I did a total of 55 concerts every Friday night during the pandemic). It was so nice that they (and I) could finally meet for real. Leipzig &#8211; such a great city. The WGT &#8211; such a great festival. The people, the great atmosphere (really good food and beer), meeting musician friends like Rosa\u2020Crvx, a great time with my wife and a great gig.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sieben-SO.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4182\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sieben-SO.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sieben-SO-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sieben-SO-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sieben-SO-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sieben-SO-636x636.jpg 636w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Stefan Otto<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<p><strong>WGT setlist:<\/strong><br\/>&#8220;The Old Magic&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;Sleep, Clara Bow&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;We Wait&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;Feel the Fever&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;Peterson&#8217;s Seat&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;Love&#8217;s Promise&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;Kickstart&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;Loki&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;Snow Burial&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;Lullaby&#8221;<strong>(The Cure cover<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n<p>You can find more acts like <strong>Deine Lakaien<\/strong>, <strong>Front Line Assembly<\/strong>, <strong>Rosa\u2020Crvx<\/strong>, <strong>Eisregen<\/strong> and <strong>V2A<\/strong> exclusively in the &#8220;WGT Special Issue&#8221;, which is enclosed to the current Orkus issue.
