Motion Picture: Everything Will Change

GaryMarlowe Everything Will Change
Gary Marlowe Deimel Firestar

We always love to see and hear what our customers are up to:
Gary Marlowe • Everything Will Change (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

„This film is one of those revelatory experiences that make you want to get up and do something.“ (WIM WENDERS)

When a living legend like Wim Wenders decides to appear as a future version of himself in a movie, there must be something outstanding about it. The idea of the film is brilliant: We see our time through the eyes of our grandchildren, many years ahead. By the means of a fable, disguised as a documentary from the future, we understand that the era we critizise so much will actually be seen as the good old days. A true eye-opener.

Film available worldwide: 14th July 2022
Soundtrack available now as Vinyl and download!
Composed and performed by Gary Marlowe
Mixed by Hans-Martin Buff (Prince, Real World) and Gary Marlowe

“I frequently use my beloved Deimel Firestar to create organic ambiences… for the futuristic, but organic sound worlds I had in my head for “EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE”, I fed it into an array of quirky floor boxes, like the wonderful FuzzHaze67, or one of the venerable old Small Stone Phasers I own, or the amiably strange Kaleidoscope delay, then going into either my 1970 Fender Super Reverb, an AC-30 or a Roland Jazz Chorus. I just sat there for days, creating really beautiful, strange sounds, that were both abstract and spacy – but yet familiar, in a weird way, because they are organic. When I combine those sounds and effects with what I am doing with my synthesizer collection, I get this very special sound world. Of course, I also used my Deimel Firestar to play some “normal” guitar parts …”

NEW FEATURE >> PICKUP LESLEE SYNCHRONIZER

Deimel Firestar LesLee Synchronizer

We are very happy to have reached this personal milestone of our guitar works and proud to present the Pickup Leslee® Synchronizer in stereo built into an Experimental Deimel Firestar.
By joining the pulse, generated by the Pickup Leslee® using wave in/wave out patch cable connectivity, it is possible to either send or receive a waveform or sending out a CV signal. It is even possible to do sync recording by using a CV to Midi generator, or to be in sync with video signals for performing artists. We are very much looking forward to see performing artists create interactive art between guitar, electronic music, and performance in the near future.

Instgram Deimel Guitarworks on the bench

New Instagram feed for your builds …

You are wondering about the status of your guitar build? We recently started a new Instagram feed  called »deimelguitarworks_onthebench«. It shows the most recent production steps in our workshop. The photos are tagged with the serial number of your guitar that we send you with the order confirmation. For example if your Deimel Firestar has the serial number #145, just search on Instagram for #deimelfirestar145 . If your Deimel Doublestar has the serial number #024, just search on Instagram for #deimeldoublestar024 . This way we keep it anonymously, but you are still able to share the progress with your friends and family by telling them the right hashtag. If you want to be marked with your name or band, just let us know!

COLLABORATIVE WORK WITH GRIT LASKIN, CANADA

we are very excited to present this collaborative work of  William ‘Git’ Laskin and us  on the latest Artist Edition.

Deimel Firestar Artist Edtion »GAME CHANGER«

SCHOOL STRIKE” + GAME CHANGER”

KORA JÜNGER + FRANK DEIMEL ARTIST EDITION 2020: GAME CHANGER”:

This is the first time that we have built an artist edition twin set consisting of a Deimel Firestar guitar and bass. The Deimel Firestar Artist Edition »GAME CHANGER« is a tribute to all kids that have fought and are currently fighting for their ideas and rights around the globe. Greta Thunberg might be the most famous one of our times, but there have been many, many more, just naming a few on the side of the guitar, that influenced the story of all our lives. Taking on this energy both, guitar and bass, come with a built in LesLee and powerful hand wound pickups. The manifold sounds build into both instruments also reflect the broad range of the voices of the brave! 

I make all drawings on paper first and built a big collage that I transfer with a napkin technique onto the prepared woods. A natural matte finish preserves the art work.  

When Grit asked us if I would be interested in a collaboration, we felt very honored. Grits work has inspired us for years. His approach to political and society relevant themes is unique in the guitar world. 

Though Grits and our lives are on different sides of the globe, we are part of one big family and it is on us to keep an eye on it.

»The 8 Of Space«

Our customer and good friend Dirk Dresselhaus / Schneider TM just released his new and highly recommended album »The 8 Of Space«! He used his Deimel Firestar FireSchneiderTM in his recordings quite a lot. In the instrumental end part of “iBot (With A Soul)”, for example, he simulated a broken robot with the behind the bridge pickup + built in LesLee … in »Spiral« it is the elongated overtones that spiral over the groove. Besides that, Schneider TM also used it as a »normal« guitar here and there which then was partly processed quite heavily through different effects.

Zäune, Gitter oder Käfige.

Berit Jung und Daniel Meyer besitzen Instrumente aus diesen Materialien und erschaffen damit Räume.

In einem weiten musikalischen Feld zwischen Folk, modernem Jazz und Geräusch spannen die beiden feine Klänge, die sich ihren Weg durch allerlei Wundersames und Zauberhaftes bahnen.
