For the second installment, entitled Drumlesson Zwei, Prommer again teams up with guitarist Uwe Karpa, keyboard player Roberto Di Gioia, percussionist Ernst Ströer, bass guitarist Christian Diener and drummer Matteo Scrimali, but this time around, the recording process was based more around live sessions, with Prommer then taking the raw cuts into his studio for additional processing and editing. “Normally when I do my electronic music, everything is programmed and very controlled,” he explains. “So for me, this was the best of both worlds – having the guys play really interesting stuff, and then working with it.”
Amongst the tracks being reinvented this time around are Stefan Goldmann’s ’06 club smash “Sleepy Hollow,” Dennis Ferrer and Jerome Sydenham’s “Sandcastles,” and the downbeat electro of Jean-Michel Jarre’s “Oxygène Part IV.” Fans of Prommer’s “Strings Of Life” interpretation should be glad to hear that there are more Detroit techno covers on Zwei, with Carl Craig’s “Sandstorms” and Rolando’s “Knights Of The Jaguar” both getting jazzed up. Of the latter, Christian explains, “We did two versions – part one I like to call the ‘White Stripes of jazz’ version because it’s really rocking, just drums and bass and not much more. The second part is more of a Balearic-goes-Middle Eastern dance anthem with a lot of prepared piano, guitar tracks and drum layers.”
