Elvis as a sound poet? Rock ’n’ Roll loops? Elvis and experimental music? I’m excited to be part of the “Memphis Mutations” project as part of the European Elvis Festival in Bad Nauheim, alongside many fascinating colleagues from the experimental music scene.

Seven very different musical acts approach the cultural phenomenon of Elvis Presley in creative and surprising ways. Using electronics, acoustic instruments, voices, and sound recordings, they create entirely new interpretations of his greatest songs—inspired by Elvis and his time in Bad Nauheim.
A special highlight is the sound walk with Waldlust: Starting at 2:30 p.m., participants will gather sounds from Bad Nauheim together, which will then be incorporated live into the concert and become part of the musical performance.
Taking Care of Business for the King are:
· Cornelia Haslbauer – Sopran
· Das Öl Brennt Trio – Elektronische Krautrockgrooves
· Dirk Huelstrunk – Sound Poetry
· Elisabeth Möbs – Horn
· Frank Wilke – Gesang, Blech und Elektronik
· LDX#40 – 8-Bit-Sounds und andere Elektronik
· Ol Brennt – Soundcollagen, abstruses Sampling, Vocals
