Paul Wallfisch – Tasten, Stimme, Elektronik

“The spectacle of an active mind processing a world in constant flux,” is how Hua Hsu, writing in The New Yorker, describes Ben Ratliff’s remarkable book EVERY SONG EVER. Subtitled Twenty Ways to Listen in an Age of Musical Plenty, Ratliff’s book is divided into twenty chapters appended by playlists that confound and transcend traditional ways of of categorizing music. David O’Neill found “…the most galvanizing aspect of [Ratliff’s] project is that it leaves room for the DIY spirit to emerge…[Every Song Ever] reignites our sense of longing for connection…”

In four programs throughout 2026 the book will come alive for you as part of the Nachhall series at echoraum.

For Every Song Ever II , PAUL WALLFISCH, EMILY STEWART & MARTIN SIEWERT will perform selections from chapters 5-8 of the book:

Quiet / Silence / Intimacy: WE DON’T NEED NO MUSIC
Stubbornness and the Single Note: CHURCH BELL TONE
Virtuosity: ELEVATION
Sadness: BLUE RULES

March 30 at a rare seated show at @TVEyeNYC, Northampton, England-originated, Los Angeles-based post-punk goth rock legend @DavidJHaskins offered an unusual, intimate, vocals-only 13-song set, accompanied by longtime collaborator and expert NYC avant-garde composer/musician @Wallfisch (formerly of @Swans_Official) in specially prepared arrangements of an eclectic mix of inventive 🎹 sounds, as part of a night of adventurous music and performance by fellow @Independent_Project_Records artist @_Alison_Clancy_ and operatic art pop satirist @JosephKeckler. 

Haskins sang a selection of new songs, including the world premiere of upcoming concept LP track “The Beauty of Broken Dreams”, some with trenchant political messages (“The Rape of the Rose Garden” and the forboding industrial rhythm track-backed “ICE Too Cold to Thaw”), some older solo songs (the sunny self-referential satire of “Goth Girls in Southern Califonia” from his 2005 solo debut LP), and covers of “Dead and Lovely” by Tom Waits and “Vienna Song” by the late Pat Fish AKA The Jazz Butcher (for whom he sometimes played bass and produced), and songs from his earlier bands @LoveAndRocketsOfficial ("Rain Bird" ) & his first group, post-punk pioneers @BauhausTheBandOfficial ("Who Killed Mr. Moonlight"), all presented with morbid elegance and mordant wit by an experimental rock pioneer.

Setlist included:

Goth Girls in Southern California
Vienna Song (The Jazz Butcher song) 
The Beauty of Broken Dreams (live debut)
Dead and Lovely (@TomWaits cover) 
Rain Bird (Love and Rockets song) 
In the Great Blue Whenever
The Star's Stand-In
In the Wake of Lady Blue
The Rape of the Rose Garden
ICE Too Cold to Thaw
Who Killed Mr. Moonlight (Bauhaus song) (see earlier post for an extended clip)

March 30 at a rare seated show at @TVEyeNYC, Northampton, England-originated, Los Angeles-based post-punk goth rock legend @DavidJHaskins offered an unusual, intimate, vocals-only 13-song set, accompanied by longtime collaborator and expert NYC avant-garde composer/musician @Wallfisch (formerly of @Swans_Official) in specially prepared arrangements of an eclectic mix of inventive 🎹 sounds, as part of a night of adventurous music and performance by fellow @Independent_Project_Records artist @_Alison_Clancy_ and operatic art pop satirist @JosephKeckler. 

Haskins sang a selection of new songs, including the world premiere of upcoming concept LP track “The Beauty of Broken Dreams”, some with trenchant political messages (“The Rape of the Rose Garden” and the forboding industrial rhythm track-backed “ICE Too Cold to Thaw”), some older solo songs (the sunny self-referential satire of “Goth Girls in Southern Califonia” from his 2005 solo debut LP), and covers of “Dead and Lovely” by Tom Waits and “Vienna Song” by the late Pat Fish AKA The Jazz Butcher (for whom he sometimes played bass and produced), and songs from his earlier bands @LoveAndRocketsOfficial ("Rain Bird" ) & his first group, post-punk pioneers @BauhausTheBandOfficial ("Who Killed Mr. Moonlight"), all presented with morbid elegance and mordant wit by an experimental rock pioneer.

Setlist included:

Goth Girls in Southern California
Vienna Song (The Jazz Butcher song) 
The Beauty of Broken Dreams (live debut)
Dead and Lovely (@TomWaits cover) 
Rain Bird (Love and Rockets song) 
In the Great Blue Whenever
The Star's Stand-In
In the Wake of Lady Blue
The Rape of the Rose Garden
ICE Too Cold to Thaw
Who Killed Mr. Moonlight (Bauhaus song) (see earlier post for an extended clip)

At a rare seated show @TVEyeNYC, English goth legend @DavidJHaskins offered an unusual show where he sang a selection of new songs, covers (Tom Waits, and the late Pat Fish AKA The Jazz Butcher, for whom he sometimes played bass and produced), and songs from his earlier bands @LoveAndRocketsOfficial ("Rain Bird" ) & his first group, post-punk pioneers @BauhausTheBandOfficial (this haunting version of "Who Killed Mr. Moonlight"), all accompanied by an eclectic mix of 🎹 sounds from expert NYC avant-garde musician @Wallfisch, as part of an adventurous bill with fellow @Independent_Project_Records artist, the haunting/ dancing NYC singer-songwriter @_Alison_Clancy_ and gifted NYC operatic serious satirist @JosephKeckler (review to follow).

Landed in New York at 7.30pm from Big Ears and went straight to #TVEye @tveyenyc to catch #DavidJ @davidjhaskins (Bauhaus/Love and Rockets) and #PaulWallfisch @wallfisch (Swans/Botanica) in duo.
I am so glad I did that because they surprised me with this special gift: a world premiere of “The Beauty of Broken Dreams” AND dedicated it to me, no less! This gorgeous song that they co-wrote, is on the upcoming new album of theirs which I produced, recorded and mixed, also featuring #JonnyPolonsky @thejonnypolonsky on guitar and #PhilPuleo @philpuleo666 (Swans) on drums: a record I am very proud of!

Thank you also to Joseph Keckler @josephkeckler and Alison Clancy @_alison_clancy_ for opening the night.

So much #fun with #gogolbordello @knockdowncenter Bringing the party supreme to #newyork & around the world for decades! #bestofnewyork #gypsypunk ❤️📣🖤🕺💃
