Altin Gün or: how to discover music live
Without prior preparation, our author found himself at Altin Gün’s concert in Zurich to refind the joy of concert reviews again.
I am going to level with you: concert reviews are not my favourite thing to write anymore.
The first time I covered a concert was in 2008, and since then, I‘ve written hundreds of reports. They were exciting at first, also a welcome treat, these free entries, as a quasi salary for the unpaid work. But they also quickly become formulaic and, as a result, boring to write. And a bored writer makes for a boring read.
Even worse, concert reviews are notoriously resistant to concepts and formats. You can‘t really squeeze them in a preconceived idea because you never know what happens that night.
Now, how do I get unstuck?
Gallery: Dennis Kiss & Kaufmann at Werk21, Zurich
On Saturday, October 7, Dennis Kiss celebrated the release of his debut album, «Norddeich Mole», in Zurich. We've captured his concert and his supporting act, Kaufmann.
It was a night of celebration at Werk21 in Zurich, in this gloomy cellar next to the river Limmat. Here, Dennis Kiss presented his debut album, Norddeich Mole, to the audience with a release show. Kaufmann, a Swiss band, supported the Swiss-German act.
