Florian Klaus Rumpf
Curious if we have anyone here familiar with this man's music? He's starting a crowd sourcing project for a new album. I like his approach and thoughts on his web site about his music and the mandolin in general, translation below.

Re: Florian Klaus Rumpf
I got aware of Florian Klaus Rumpf, when I discovered his video "Lieblingsstücke" (Favorite pieces), where he plays music by Bach, John Cage, Pietro Denis, Marlo Strauss, Yasuo Kuwahra and by himself. Very impressive!

Re: Florian Klaus Rumpf
I recently discovered Florian through this thread "A Year With Calace" (https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/t...ighlight=Rumpf). He participates in that thread and his thoughtful approach to the Etudes is extremely helpful and I am very much enjoying the Etudes. That experience has encouraged me to listen to his CD's and watch his videos. I think his playing "style" is beautiful and full of warmth. His ideas on music publishing are terrific.
I am totally intrigued by his soon to be released "Joyful Variations..." CD and cannot wait for its release (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0HgFj_lUB1s).
I encourage people to check out his website (https://www.fkrumpf.com/english/about/) and become familiar with his music and activities. I suspect you will find it time well spent!

Re: Florian Klaus Rumpf
Where did you see info about his crowd sourcing project? I don't see anything on his website about it. Thanks.

Re: Florian Klaus Rumpf
Joe, the initial post on this thread is from 2018. I suspect the crowd sourcing that he is referring to is no longer in existence. Rather Florian seems to be using the idea of contributing "a cup of coffee a month". I did email Florian, a while back, and inquired if there were possibly other ways to help with his efforts but have not heard back. I know he is quite busy.

Re: Florian Klaus Rumpf
Tim, this happens to me all the time. Woody Allen once said that God invented time so that everything wouldn't happen all at once. Sometimes on Mandolin Cafe it seems that everything is happening all at once.
In any case, this posting got me to order the two of Mr. Rumpf's CDs that I do not have-- one of which, to my great delight, includes a performance of Leonardi's "Souvenir de Sicile", a piece I've been having a great time learning over the past little while.

Re: Florian Klaus Rumpf
Thanks for drawing Florian to our attention. His short composition Schlaflied (lullaby) is a thing of beauty, available on his Facebook page
