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.

I woke up this morning here in Olten, Switzerland to a great surprise:

Il Tempo Gigante is on German national TV in 3sat Kulturzeit!

http://www.3sat.de/mediathek/?mode=play&obj=46336

go to 36:20 and you’ll be able to see my latest video of Watch It Watch (which was shot by the very experienced and steady hand of Mr. André Andersen http://www.andre.dk/ )  and the upcoming tour-dates for the next 20 gigs in Switzerland, Austria and Germany rolling across der Deutche tv-apparatus… Biss bald!

Dear all,

I’ve had a wonderful summertour, and now already in less than a week from now, the falltour will begin. I will be going further down south this time to southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria and I’m very much looking forward to meetings with all of you – new and old faces -within the music. With 25 gigs in little less than a month (thank you Florian!) ending in one of my favorite places to be at the moment, I feel like a very lucky man.

The new album Watch It Watch is finally available worldwide on digital medias e.g. on Itunes:

https://itunes.apple.com/dk/album/watch-it-watch/id917199842?l=da

I have now started cooperating with a new small danish label called Resonans. They are very kind people, and will, by hand, help me to custom-make, art design and ship a very limited edition (LP, 200 copies + CD, 50 copies) of the new record on vinyl and CD out to you (from mid October):

http://resonansmusic.dk/

And finally my new little music video (which was shot by the very experienced and steady hand of Mr. André Andersen http://www.andre.dk/ ) is featured on nbhap. It’s shot in one take (the last of the day, take five) with no cutting or editing (for those who care about such details, I should mention that the guitar-mic ran through a tape-delay machine). I hope you will enjoy listening to the song as much as I did singing it :
