Yello and Lightmaker

In the credits one can read on the lightmaker movie site, that the music of the film is available for purchase. Is this in fact a fact? And is the movie perhaps coming soon to our screens as a DVD?

Yello and DivX
by Ruhney 28 Nov '02

28 Nov '02

Me again... I know it is against all rules and what not, but I couldn't be bothered less. To be on the save side with all my official Yello tapes I decided to digitize them with a five year old DC20 MJPEG card. And believe me, the card turned out to be wurth it's price. The digitizes video's are just as good/bad as the original tapes. Only the files are enormous. And so I encoded them to DivX 5.2 with audio as Mpeg3. The results are handy Yello Videoclips with a very good quality. When I set them to full screen and sit back in my chair the compression show little deformation to the images. I'm a bit more happy now. Rene

Yello and Havana Continues
by Ruhney 28 Nov '02

28 Nov '02

Hi again, Well after several days of research and contacting every German TV station that still excists and excisted when I taped the documentary, I'm still empty handed. It turnes out to be very difficult for the people at the tv archives to find a certain program. One has to give them the bradcast year, and date, and if possible also the time... ????!!!! Increadible. But okay... If one for some reason could come up with that information, one is facing the troubles with liscencing. The stations are simply not allowed to make a copy of such broadcasts. Only when a certain documentary or show was done with themselves as producer chances are bigger you get a copy at a low price. Sigh... oh well. Live was and stays troublesome. - Rene

Re: Yello Documentary Havana

Hi, Yes... I'm possitive it was a documantary sort of thing, as it lasted longer then 45 minutes or so. Nice to mention about this is, that some scenes were in fact used in the final Yello Desire Video. But it had more. Boris and Dieter were drinking the original margaritas in a club that was visited frequently by famous moviestars in the fifities, just before the cuba crisis. And while they drank some street musicians were singing ans playing Quantaramera(?) (well you know the song). It shows bouth our holy men (B&D) in a bus on a tour through havana scouting for locations, while Boris is smoking yet another cigar. They show more of the girls and especially the one with whom the character played by Dieter falls in love with. Dieter explains the story behind the video. He also explains why the whole video has to be shot on real film instead of betacam system. He just loves the blue-ish effect of it. It shows Santiago, the choreographer... who might be the dude who's voice is used on Santiago - One Second... could be. etc.. etc... I have it in my head, it is stored on my brain-harddrive. But I want it back on tape or cd... It's a rare piece of material. a sort of hidden camera interview. And there was more on the tape I misplaced, Another interview with Dieter, where he speaks in German about the so called : Fleishwolf, meatgrinder, where young musicians get eaten up by their equipment, instead of using it as a proper tool. Sorry I have to quit now. I'll get back to this asap. Rene

Yello & Havana
by Ruhney 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

Hi there, I'm new to the list, and I hope there's a lot of people out there who read it... I'm at a loss... My heart is broken. - A long time ago a sort of documentary was shown on German Television about Yello shooting the Desire video in Habana. I did tape it then... but it seems I lost the tape. And yes... I hate myself for this. - Has anyone of you a clue which german tv station made this documentary, who broadcasted it? Or does anyone of you have it on tape, and would you be willing to make a copy for me?? Please??!?!??! With kind regards, Rene - The Netherlands.

hands on mixes
by Julian 23 Nov '02

23 Nov '02

Question. I found the Jam & Spoon/Hands On 12" that has the actual picture cover and is a non promo retail release. Before that I only had the 12" of J&S and Westbam Hands On singles as promos with out artwork just in promo sleeves. I have never seen or heard of these singles coming as a non promo release. Anyone know if Westbam/Plutone Hands On 12" have been released as a retail release with the artwork? Can't wait for the new YELLO. Some music recommendations. Nuspirit Helsinki - Nuspirit Helsinki KOOP - Waltz for Koop Kyoto Jazz Massive Blue States - Man... I hope YELLO gets even more jazzy. I thought Motion Picture had a good amount of jazz flavor.

question:ultimate collectors edition
by Oliver 19 Nov '02

19 Nov '02

Hi there, does anybody on this list own the box 'The ultimate collectors edition' including YELCD3 (Of course I'm lying/Metropolitan Mixdown I+II). Sticker says 'Contains disc 1 of a 2 disc set. Disc 2 to be released soon'. The box is to big for 2 slimcase CD so my question is, how was the box filled when it originally contained only the first CD. If possible somebody can send me some description or even jpgs about how box was equipped when sold and should look. Thanks in advance, Oliver

Update - FTP Server Status
by J.R. 15 Nov '02

15 Nov '02

I haven't had a chance to check in for a bit, so here's a quick update: Within two weeks of creating the account, the e-mail address for signing you all up got it's first spam, and I've told no one what it is yet! :[ Most likely it got hit using a dictionary spammer program. I'm going to delete it and create a new one that is a little harder to guess. Thinking yello909@ or something like that. Server testing is on hold until I get more HD space. The HDs I had ready to go had to be used in a different server. :[ ISP will be upgrading the pipe to the server soon. Date not yet announced. It's suppose to be a 2Meg down / 6Meg up (ISP is restructuring their existing system and upgrading equipment). Currently the pipe is equivalent to a full T-1 (1.5 Meg down / 1.5 Meg up). As long as my static IP doesn't change with the upgrade (it shouldn't), you can do some tests to one of edge routers to see what kind of latency and packet loss you get. The IP is 209.105.153.81. Try doing a traceroute to it and see what happens. :) 'nuf for now. Have a great weekend! (I gotta work Sat. Ugg!!)

Some news about Yello - Loud & Clear
by Jonas 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Hi I don´t know if all of you subscribe to Jonas Warstads mailinglist, but he sent this out earlier today. This is the press release from Yello office: LOUD & CLEAR On the 22nd of November 2002 BALTIC, Centre of Contemporary Art has the world première of a new and outspoken DVD project, called LOUD & CLEAR. For a period of 2 years the Bifrons Foundation in Amsterdam has worked on this ambitious project it initiated in 1999 and Baltic as co-organizer is now very proud to present LOUD & CLEAR in Gateshead to the public. LOUD & CLEAR is basically about electronic signboards nowadays to be found more and more in streets and other public places. Signboards are made for the purpose of advertising commercial products. Here advertising is used for a non-commercial purpose. Visual artists, composers and publicity designers have been asked to make a DVD film and to work together in an individual way. This makes the project unique. Never before have art, advertising and music been brought together in this way, instead of the disciplines merely being confronted with each other. In LOUD & CLEAR each participant was asked to make his or her own contribution as an autonomous art piece, while ensuring that a dialogue was created during the process to prevent the visual aspect of each DVD as a whole becoming too independant. In most cases discussions first took place between composers and visual artists about musical preferences. Later on musicians in Amsterdam, Reykjavik, Zurich and New York started to execute the newly made compositions. At a third stage these compositions were handed over to the visual artists and publicity designers. The former were invited to make an art piece on film and the latter were asked to advertise on film the world of the artist or the artist's DVD film as a non-commercial product in itself. Obviously both disciplines have been either inspired or steered by the music, which plays a dominant role in many of the DVDs. Each DVD reveals a lively symbiosis of art, music/sound and advertising. LOUD & CLEAR shows that art is definitely different from advertising, and vice versa. Something which no one will be surprised at, yet at the same time it is something that should be said here and now, and LOUD & CLEAR. There is no doubt that in all the disciplines employed ? even the technical ones of the Dutch company Anything Is Possible, for example - creativity is at a refreshing high level. Looking and listening to the results one is immediately struck by the way in most cases the visual artists tend to produce slowly moving images, as if life should have no beginning and no end. The publicity designers tend to make a paraphrase of the artist's film, often with the sort of clue which one is nowadays regularly confronted with in TV commercials and in advertisements in the cinema. It is a pleasure to see and hear that the publicity designers were challenged - with their own mentality of making ad images with music ? on a highly artistic level. It is also a pleasure to see how the visual artists are true to themselves and their works, in many cases expressed in a technique they are not used to at all. Participating Artist's, Composer's and Publicity Designers: 1. Pierre Huyghe-Steamboat Switzerland - Tyler Whisnand 2. Pierre Bismuth - Theo Loevendie - Strawberry Frog 3. Marlene Dumas - Ryuichi Sakamoto - Erik Kessels/KesselsKramer 4. Aernout Mik - Gudni Franzson - Matthews & Peled/Wieden & Kennedy 5. Viktor & Rolf - Toek Numan - David Droga/Saatchi & Saatchi 6. John M Armleder - Hans van Manen - Fastland/Ground 7. Oliver Voss/Jung von Matt - Haukur Tòmasson - Yayoi Kusama 8. Pipilotti Rist - Caroline Berkenbosch - *S.C.P.F. 9.
