"Hansa Studios started in the early 1960’s as a small recording studio in the headquarters of Hansa Music Production, founded by brother’s Peter and Thomas Meisel, in Berlin.
Since 1965 however, they were using the Meistersaal for most of their productions, the former Sonopress Studio of Ariola-Eurodisk, which later became the legendary Hansa Studio 2 (The Big Hall By The Wall). Through the steady growing number of Hansa artists and the productions resulting there from, the Meisel brothers decided to found Hansa Tonstudio GmbH, in the beginning of the 1970’s, and built their own studio in order to be able to produce independently. So, Hansa Studio 1 opened in 1973 on Nestor Street in Berlin Halensee from which countless recordings of renowned national and international artists emerged from then on. In 1975 the Meisel brothers also took over the former Sonopress Studio on Köthener Street, turned it into Hansa Studio 2 and from then on continued to produce one hit after the other. At that time 2 studios were already working under the Hansa Studios name.
In 1976, the Meisel Brothers purchased the house on Köthener Street, which had been severely damaged in the Second World War, and gradually developed it into a music production house. The mixing studio, known today as the Hansa Mixroom, was built on the 4th floor. Directly beside it – as a substitute for Studio 1 on Nestor Street, which was closed in the late 1970’s – the Meisel’s built Studio 1, which started up in 1980. In order to get acquainted with the newest mixer technology, a training studio was built on the 3rd floor especially for the sound engineer and assistants. At the start of the 1980’s, Hansa Studio 3 was built in a former cinema on the ground floor making a total of 5 studios.
...
Hits from Mireille Mathieu, Drafi Deutscher, Juliane Werding, Marianne Rosenberg, Manuela, Christian Anders and many, many more were produced here like a factory. Not to mention many successful albums from Peter Maffay, Udo Jürgens or Roland Kaiser, who partly still produce here today! In the 1970’s, Hansa Studios became known worldwide through the artist David Bowie who lived and worked in Berlin at the time. In the studio beside the wall, Bowie wrote his hit “Heroes“. He recorded numerous albums here, also together with his friend and colleague Iggy Pop. “Low” (1977), “Heroes” (1977), “Baal” (1982). Last but not least, because of its good reputation, equipment, exceptional acoustics and the many successful national and international successes, Hansa Studios was considered one of the leading international recording studios.
Depeche Mode “Construction Time Again” (1983), U2 “Achtung Baby” (1991), Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Marillion “Misplaced Childhood” (1984), Real Life “Send Me An Angel” (1982) and many other top acts produced their worldwide successes at Hansa Studios. Due to the changing situation in the music industry and the declining demand for large recording studios, the Meisel’s decided to dismantle Studio 2 and 3 in the beginning of the 1990’s. Thus, Hansa Studio 2 was again restored to its original state of being the Meistersaal. Offices for film production companies were built into the former Studio 3. The mixing studio and training studio were permanently rented and, from then on, were no longer part of the Hansa Studio. Only Hansa Studio 1 on the 4th floor and a newly set up midi studio continued on as the Hansa Studio. Today, Studio 1 is still the successfully active Hansa Studio, wherein acts like Supergrass “Diamond Hoo Ha” (2008), The Hives, Snow Patrol “A Hundred Million Suns” (2008), R.E.M. “Collapse Into Now” (2010) and many others record their songs and albums. Accessibility to the Meistersaal as a recording studio is still available. So, for example, the Swedish band Kent recorded their whole album there, R.E.M. recorded a live session with sound and images and Mark Knopfler gave a record release concert there.
The Hansa building on Köthener Street is arguably the most creative music house in Berlin. The idea of a “Music House“created in the early 1970’s is more alive than ever. Numerous independent studios and production companies from all musical areas work together here under the same roof. From rock, hip-hop, pop and hits to film scores and dubbing – it’s all produced here." - https://hansastudios.de/en/about-2/history/

Konzerthaus Berlin, Germany 🇩🇪
Influence of acoustics on emotional impact of music in Konzerthaus and Philharmonie Berlin, Conference: DAGA 2016, At: Aachen - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Akustik e. V., Winfried Lachenmayr (Müller-BBM BSO GmbH), Jukka Pätynen (Aalto University) - https://lnkd.in/d2y2rTGY
Recordings with the same real orchestra taken in two halls (rectangular and vineyard) from each two receivers (close and far) are compared regarding their subjective impact in a PC-listening test. At the same time, the participants gave adjectives for each pair to investigate why a certain stimulus was chosen over the other one. It can be seen that the rectangular hall and the closer seats are rated with higher impact.
Analysis of the vocabulary shows that loudness related attributes are driving the decisions (1/3 of answers). In a second step, the stimuli were adjusted to have the same mean loudness. Even though loudness related attributes then loose importance - as expected and visible in the vocabulary data-, the impact ranking stays the same. Spatial attributes, proximity and bass perception take over importance." - https://lnkd.in/dXXTRvyt
Konzerthaus Berlin Finds Clarity With Meyer Sound CAL Column Arrays,
Meyer Sound Feb 6, 2015 - Live Design Magazine
"Ranked amongst the top five symphonic concert venues, Konzerthaus Berlin has recently installed the steerable Meyer Sound CAL™ column array loudspeakers in its Great Hall (German: Großer Saal).
Blending inconspicuously into the hall’s neoclassical architecture, the slender, elegant arrays are used for music reproduction as well as voice applications from concert narration and conductor commentary to emergency alarm systems.
...
The 1,418-capacity Konzerthaus Berlin was opened as a theatre in 1821 and rebuilt as a concert hall in 1977. The acoustics in the shoebox-shaped Great Hall have been ranked among the world’s five best for symphonic music by eminent acoustician Leo Beranek. " - https://lnkd.in/dxw7XfBg

The Gray Organ, built between 1815 and 1820. Berlin, Germany [4k]
"An English master instrument of the early 19th century
For lovers of historical organs, the Berlin Musical Instrument Museum offers a special attraction: a three-manual slider chest organ with a return positive from the famous London organ building company Gray. It was built between 1815 and 1820 - probably by John Gray - for a church in Bathampton near Bath in Somerset. The organ has 24 registers, the disposition consists of main, choir and swell, each with a range of C-f''', plus a subsequently expanded pedal (C-f'), couplings and playing aids. The organ was expertly restored by the E. F. Walcker company and revoiced in a historical manner, as was the neo-Gothic case, using the well-preserved Rückpositiv as a model.
With the soft sound of its wide-scaled pipes, the Gray organ is entirely in the Baroque tradition that characterizes organ building in conservative England in the early 19th century." - https://www.simpk.de/museum/sammlung/hoehe points-der -exhibition.html#c24530

Game of Thrones Theme played on a Regal (Zungenpfeifen Orgel) from 1680, Berlin, Germany
#organ #gameofthrones #berlin
"The musical instrument known as the regal or regalle (from Middle French régale[1]) is a small portable organ, furnished with beating reeds and having two bellows.[2] The instrument enjoyed its greatest popularity during the Renaissance.
The name "regal" was also sometimes given to the reed stops of a pipe organ, and more especially to the vox humana stop.
History
The sound of the regal is produced by brass reeds held in resonators.[2] The length of the vibrating portion of the reed determines its pitch and is regulated by means of a wire passing through the socket, the other end pressing on the reed at the proper distance.
The resonators in the regal are not intended to reinforce the vibrations of the beating reed or of its overtones (as in the reed pipes of the organ), but merely to form an attachment to keep the reed in place without interfering with its function.
A common compass was C/E--c′′′ (four octaves, with a short octave in the bass), though this was by no means standardized. Most regals were placed on a table to be played, and required two people—one to play the instrument, and another to pump the bellows.
Michael Praetorius (1618) mentions a larger regal used in the court orchestras of some of the German princes, more like a positive organ, containing reeds at 4′, 8′, and even sometimes 16′ pitch, and having two bellows behind the case. These regals were used not only at banquets but often in place of positive organs in churches.
A very small regal, sometimes called a Bible regal because it could be separated into sections and folded up like a book, was also mentioned by the same writer, who stated that these little instruments had an unpleasantly harsh tone due to their tiny resonators, which were not quite an inch long. He states that they were first made in Nuremberg and Augsburg.
In England and France, the word "regal" was sometimes applied to reed stops on the organ; Mersenne (1636) states that the word was applied at that time to the vox humana stop.[2] According to Praetorius, the reed stops of pipe organs required constant tuning; he emphasized the fact that the pitch of the stop fell in summer and rose in winter.
The pitch of the other stops rose in summer and fell in winter.
Because of civil wars and the ravages of time, very few antique regals survive. They were often mentioned in wills and inventories, such as the list of Henry VIII's musical instruments made after his death by Sir Philip Wilder (British Library Harley MS 1415, fol. 200 seq.), in which no fewer than thirteen pairs of single and five pairs of double regals are mentioned (although at that period, "pair" referred to a single instrument).
Claudio Monteverdi scored for the regals in his operas, and the instrument was described and illustrated by Sebastian Virdung in 1511, Martin Agricola in 1528, and Othmar Luscinius in 1536. In England, as late as the reign of George III, there was the appointment of tuner of the regals to the Chapel Royal.
Drawings of the reeds of regals and other reed pipes, as well as of the instrument itself, are given by Praetorius (pl. iv., xxxviii.).
The regal may be seen as the ancestor of the harmonium, the reed organ, and the various varieties of "squeezebox" such as the accordion, the concertina, and the Bandoneón." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regal_(instrument)

"MR. BIG Announces March/April 2024 European Farewell Tour
MR. BIG is putting on its signature top hats and old shoes one last time for a worldwide tour, aptly titled "The BIG Finish". Since the band's original drummer and co-founder, Pat Torpey, lost his battle with Parkinson's disease in 2018, MR. BIG now feels it's time to mark the end of this chapter of the group's legacy.

“I am the one who wants to be with you”!
Anyone can probably sing along to this line of lyrics from the global hit “To Be With You”. The accompanying album LEAN INTO IT received a total of 5x gold and 3x platinum and is considered a later milestone for AOR.
With Mr. Big it wasn't and isn't just the excellent songs, because in addition to “To Be With You”, everyone also knows “Alive & Kickin'”, “Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy” and “Green Tinted Sixties Mind”. “. “, but also the almost extraterrestrially good musical performances of the individual musicians. Bassist Billy Sheehan and guitarist Paul Gilbert are true luminaries on their instruments, and drummer Pat Torpey was too until his untimely death. Eric Martin's unmistakable grating voice towers over it.
Luckily the band found an equivalent replacement for Pat Torpey. Nick D’Virgilio will take over the position. He became known in the scene through his brilliant work on Spock's Beard. His advantage: Not only can he drum, but he sings just as well as Pat Torpey, which can be an advantage if you know the band's songs.
In the spring, Mr. Big will come to Germany for the very last time. And of course the four men don't miss it and play LEAN INTO IT in full length and beautifully. It is therefore advisable to take care of tickets in good time.

The Mighty Wurlitzer - Europe's largest Cinema and Theatre Organ - Berlin, Germany [ 4k ]

00:00:00 The Mighty Wurlitzer organ
00:01:00 Demonstration - The Mighty Wurlitzer
00:04:47 Second floor instruments chambers
"The Mighty Wurlitzer is one of the largest instruments of its kind on the European continent. Werner Ferdinand von Siemens, the grandson of the company founder, acquired the four-manual instrument in 1929 from the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company in the USA. The organ has 1228 pipes and more than 200 stops. In addition there is a large number of percussion and effect instruments." - https://www.museumsportal-berlin.de/en/events/demonstration-der-mighty-wurlitzer-theaterorgel-2/
"Werner Ferdinand von Siemens was one of Germany's leading industrialists. He lived in a 72 room villa in Gärtnerstraße 25-32, Berlin Lankwitz, where he already had installed a two manual Christie organ.
He was a real music enthousiast and a fine conductor, too. For his musical ambitions he had built a huge concert hall. There he conducted many times the entire orchestra of the Stadt Opera in a private concert for his friends.
In 1928 he travelled to America and ordered a two manual, eight ranks Wurlitzer organ type 200 special (Opus #2019) from the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company.
When this organ was delivered to Germany on January 28th in 1929, he already had ordered (for approx. $85.000,-) a much bigger organ - the four manual, 16 rank Mighty Wurlitzer type 250 special (Opus #2064)!
He sold the Wurlitzer 200 special to the UFA Palast, Berlin's leading movie theatre am Bahnhof Zoo (which was destroyed with the organ by World War II, and was rebuilt in 1956 as the Zoo Palast).
The type 250 special was installed in Siemens' concert hall in August 1929 by Walter Pierce, who had the Wurlitzer franchise for all Europe (see Installation Plan from Marvin E. Merchant for details).
At the end of World War II the villa, the concert hall and the organ became property of the German Reich. The Mighty Wurlitzer survived the war, but was seriously damaged in 1962 by a fire, which was caused by a careless cigarette.
From February 1963 to December 1963 Marvin E Merchant, a Berlin stationed G.I. repaired the organ at his own expense (see Restauration for details).
In 1982 it was given to the Staatliches Institut für Musikforschung Preußischer Kulturbesitz, where it was restored completely and installed in the museum by Eberhard Friedrich Walcker GmbH & Co. in 1984." - http://www.theatreorgans.com/berlin/
"The Mighty Wurlitzer is the crowning achievement of the Wurlitzer Company’s many years of developing cine ma and theatre organs. The »mighty« tone richness elicited from this great work is how it got its name. In the museum itself, one’s eyes initially fall on the horseshoe-shaped console in a white varnish finish offset with gold, from which the organ is put »into operation«. On the second floor, directly above, is the full line of Wurlitzer instruments in three large, accessible rooms: the main chamber, the orchestra room and the solo room. Downstairs, inaccessible to visitors, are the relay stations, an electrical wind machine and the bellows for wind generation. The airflow is fed from there through a canal (conducts) to the organ pipes in the chambers. The Mighty Wurlitzer is, just like the church organ, at first a simple pipe organ. However, using its rows of pipes, called ranks, it is able to imitate specific orchestra instruments. This includes elaborate percussion (xylophone, glockenspiel or marimba harp, with a large drum, snare drum, hi-hat or tom-tom) and an entire array of special sound effects like birds chirping, wind howling, a train rushing by or foghorns. The sheer variety of instrumental sounds and effects initially served as background music to the plot of silent f ilms, its primary function being a cinema organ. Of course, only the owners of large cinemas could afford such a large and expensive instrument – which also required a seasoned player who knew how to use it effectively – while a piano or reed organ sufficed in smaller theatres. However, should the great investment in such a cinema organ actually pay off, it had to carry out other tasks beyond the accompaniment of silent films. These primarily included holding independent concerts. The conception of the instrument as a »one-man orchestra« (unit orchestra) gave it the effortless ability to entertain a large audience in a wide variety of ways with only one player. To this end the player used the myriad technical possibilities offered by such a massive instrument. The majority of sounds and effects, as well as their many possibilities for combination, served to enchant the audience." - https://www.simpk.de/fileadmin/user_upload_sim/Dokumente/Museum/Sammlung/FuehrungsBlaetter_22_GB_pre.pdf

"After seven long years of waiting, the US supergroup The Winery Dogs will finally be seen in Germany again. After announcing three shows in June in Hamburg (June 12th), Cologne (June 20th) and Frankfurt (June 21st), Richie Kotzen (v, g), Billy Sheehan (b, v) and Mike Portnoy (dr, v ) four more dates in Germany for autumn 2023 in Leipzig (October 18th) and Berlin (October 19th). Munich (November 3rd) and Osnabrück (November 4th) announced General advance sales for the four autumn dates start on Friday, April 21st, 2023, at 10 a.m. There's also a bit of wisdom in the name: like an old wine that's given enough time to ferment and breathe, The Winery Dogs get better and better with every album. And so “III” is once again a strong statement from a band made up of exceptional musicians who have managed to put their talents together. It was unclear for a long time that there would be a third album after the two US Top 30 albums “The Winery Dogs” (2013) and “Hot Streak” (2015), only a short pre-pandemic tour in 2019 brought about get the ball rolling again. “We really wanted to tour,” explains Kotzen of the 22-concert short tour at the beginning of 2019, which took place under the name “Who Let The Dogs Out”. “We just had to get back together again to get the engine of this band running again.” Portnoy adds: “It was a small, nice, fun tour that rekindled our enthusiasm. After that, it was clear to everyone that a third album was still possible.” And Sheehan remembers: “Playing together again was downright refreshing. We were able to relax a bit and just have fun being on stage together, all without pressure.
"It was great." When you consider the breadth and scope present in "III," it's easy to imagine how much fun the band must have had in Richie Kotzen's Southern California studio. During the recording of the ten songs, the band's basic concept was not questioned, but rather manifested, as Kotzen confirms: “Our goal is to give the listener a pleasant time when devoting themselves to the music. Our music is created by real people on real instruments, everything happens in a room where the three of us are. There's nothing artificial about it." Billy Sheehan also emphasizes: "I want our listeners to follow exactly the path we took during the recording. Our discs are snapshots of life and how we live it. Our music reflects what is important to us and what is not.” Finally, Mike Portnoy knows more about it: “The strength of this band is, first and foremost, the songs. It's all about this. No more, but no less either. Then comes the musical craft and ability, which is very important. What makes The Winery Dogs so extraordinary: Each of our songs can be quickly recognized, they are catchy and easy to sing along to. At the same time, you also have this incredible musical ability on all levels. It's like a three-ring circus. No matter who you watch or listen to, you will always be entertained." What better motto for the upcoming tour?" - https://trinitymusic.de/events/berlin/the-winery-dogs

Staatsoper Berlin Unter den Linden
"For music lovers, there is no going past this institution. The State Opera of Berlin is one of the most renowned opera houses in the world. Located centrally on the boulevard Unter den Linden, this ensemble has been been delighting visitors since its first performance in 1742." - https://lnkd.in/gyxm9RPp
"
...
The State opera Unter den Linden was built as the first detached court opera building in Europe in 1742. The building was severely damaged several times in history (1842, 1942,1945) and also restored or renovated several times (1788,1910,1928,1986). The in 2009 existing situation was created after the war, in 1955. In the period from 2010 to 2017 the building was fully renovated and all technical equipment renewed. A new rehearsal building was realised with 7 rehearsal halls, including a choir rehearsal hall and an orchestra rehearsal hall. The historic opera hall has 1350 seats and a small hall with a flat floor: the beautiful Apollosaal.
This paper concentrates on the acoustical aspects of the renovation of the opera hall. Starting points of the renovation are a substantial improvements of the room acoustic of the hall , at the same time preserving the architectural design and monumental status of the hall. Since the acoustic of the hall results from the geometry and the architecture, this is a contradiction in requirements." - Martijn Vercammen, Margriet Lautenbach, Peutz Netherlands https://lnkd.in/gH2rYZZh

Viele große Dirigenten begeisterten bereits das Publikum der Berliner Staatsoper. Meister wie Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Erich Kleiber, Otto Klemperer, Herbert von Karajan, Otmar Suitner und Daniel Barenboim leiteten das Orchester des ältesten Opernhaus Berlins. Die Geschichte dieses kostbaren Bauwerks ist jedoch sehr bewegt. 1742 als erste freistehende Hofoper erbaut wurde sie sieben Mal umgebaut.
Über die ältesten Um- und Wiederaufbauarbeiten ist wenig bekannt, jedoch weiß man, dass es von Beginn an Bedenken über den nötigen Brandschutz gab. Tatsächlich brannte das Gebäude, kurz vor Beginn der Sanierungsarbeiten 1843, bis auf die Grundmauern nieder. Während des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurde die Staatsoper bombardiert, aber bereits im Dezember 1942 wiedereröffnet.
Viele Jahre leitete Otmar Suitner das Opernhaus und trug zur positiven Entwicklung des Ensembles bei. Seit 1992 ist Daniel Barenboim künstlerischer Leiter und Musikdirektor. Er hob die Staatsoper und seine Staatskapelle auf Weltniveau.
