There’s a bigger April Europe-tour coming up, and we will publish the dates here very soon (we just need a few more confirmations to complete the list – so please keep posted) but first, here’s two festival dates confirmed:
29.4. Erlangen, Unter einem Dach-Festival
20.8. Bielefeld, Slowing Down Time-Festival
On the May-tour in Europe some people asked where to get hold of Watch It Watch on vinyl. It is now for sale via UK based Norman Records. Here’s what they say about it:
“Yet to perform in the UK, Il Tempo Gigante has gained a reputation for putting on an impressive live show. Shying away from traditional song structures, ‘Watch It Watch’ is an intricately handmade, understated and utterly engaging album of hypnotic compositions which draw the listener into it’s unusual world through various, compelling movements that have an instinctive, spontaneous feel to them.”

Dear friends, I want to thank YOU the amazing audiences I’ve had up until now on this tour through the German spring. Hamburg, Greifswald, Dresden, Leipzig, Giessen, Hildesheim und gestern Grevenbroich. I feel immensely grateful to be able to continue this adventure.
Ps Tonight I’m playing at Kasette in Düsseldorf – I’ve been looking forward to this since last year.
Oh, and hey, I just got a mail yesterday from a British music magazine. They did a very nice review of the record; look here:
Cheers,
Rolf
