heart from Elements by Erwin Ditzner
// HEART. das naheliegendste (fast) zum schluss. der
lebenslange rhythmus des körpers. was setzt man dem entgegen? was, wenn die atmung diesem herzschlag wegläuft? sofort wird es existentiell bedrohlich. drummer-spannung: einen groove finden, sich gleichzeitig davon lösen.
Ditzner’s life as a drummer started at an early age and from the get-go it was specked with revolt, which so often ends in capitulation but rarely in unsuspected mastery...
It is exactly because of this attitude and because he draws his originality from himself and not from the “ten commandments of jazz” or the “law of rock” that he is at home in all genres.
