4TH ANNIVERSARY

OPEN AIR CONCERT

THE IMPRESSIVE SCENERY AT THE OPEN AIR CASTLE GARDEN CONCERT ON THE OCCASION OF THE 4TH ANNIVERSARY OF DUST OF SOUL TRIUMPHED IN THE DREAMLIKE MOOD OF THE MIDSUMMER NIGHT. THE PATIO OF THE FAIRYTALE CASTLE CHÂTEAU GÜTSCH WAS FULL OF MAGIC

As seduced into a mag­ic world did the guests of Dust of Soul feel last Sat­ur­day night at the 4th anniver­sary. 130 music enthu­si­asts from all regions of Switzer­land and Ger­many fol­lowed the invi­ta­tion to the cas­tle gar­den con­cert pre­miere in the beau­ti­ful­ly white fairy­tale cas­tle Hotel Château Gütsch in Lucerne, Switzer­land. They found them­selves in an unique atmos­phere with a medieval atmos­phere as from the age of chival­ry. The minia­ture cas­tle was built in the 19th cen­tu­ry inspired by the famous mag­nif­i­cent Bavar­i­an cas­tle Neuschwanstein.
 
At the con­cert night of the 16th of July, it was burst­ing with events at the seams: Dust of Soul led musi­cal­ly by their trips to the Broad­way to New York City. There their first song com­po­si­tion “Home­town” pre­miered in pub­lic. Lyrics, melody and music were merged exact­ly to the day 4 years ago when singer Dusty and pianist MiKey met and they decid­ed to fol­low their dream of music and to turn the vision of Dust of Soul step by step into reality.
First, how­ev­er, this spe­cial­ty of Dust of Soul came to the course, for which many guests trav­el again and again to the con­certs: the after Dust of Soul named “Music Soul­ing” which so to speak is an emerg­ing com­po­si­tion from the moment, freely inspired by the envi­ron­ment and the present audi­ence – from the present moment.

EVERYONE FEELS SYMPATHY AGAINST PEOPLE AND SITUATIONS. CERTAIN IS LIKEABLE, OTHERS RATHER UNAPPEALING. AND SO WE FEEL. AND EXACTLY THESE FEELINGS PLAY DUST OF SOUL IN THEIR FIRST MUSICAL COMPOSITION EACH TIME AT A CONCERT BEGINNING. ALSO TO “BREAK THE ICE”
— Dust of Soul

The 4th anniver­sary was condign­ly cel­e­brat­ed after a refresh­ing friend­ship song in waltz rhythm and an empow­er­ing com­po­si­tion about courage with two large cakes, which were pre­sent­ed cer­e­mo­ni­al­ly. All guests were invit­ed to a piece dur­ing the break. The “first cut” made the two musi­cians. They decid­ed full of joy to con­tin­ue their select­ed way of music. This cel­e­bra­tion sym­bol­ised the begin­ning of a new chap­ter in the Dust of Soul story.
 
The musi­cal jour­ney at the mid­sum­mer night con­cert con­tin­ued in the north of Africa to Tunisia. There reach­es Dust of Soul from the begin­ning through Face­book an ever increas­ing pop­u­lar­i­ty and last fall they record­ed in the Roman Saint-Louis Cathe­dral Acrop­oli­um de Carthage their first CD, named with the title “Believe”. The extra to the CD is a DVD with the music video from the song “Believe” filmed in Tunisia.
 
The duo sur­prised with music from their lat­est trips to the Mid­dle East to Oman. Though many things could be read from the trav­els in the Arab king­dom, there was not real­ly much to hear. The Sul­tanate inspired Dust of Soul with its mys­ti­cal sounds and singer Dusty & pianist MiKey enchant­ed the Lucerne cas­tle gar­den with an entire­ly new musi­cal sound. A sto­ry of the pow­er of the sea, the moun­tains on the hori­zon and the colour of love. Although the guests have not yet learned any­thing about oth­er plans in the Arab world, one thing is for sure: these two will sur­prise us always from new.

 

So Dust of Soul reached the grand final and thanked exten­sive­ly with words, melodies, and a tra­di­tion­al sym­bol­ism: White ros­es were pre­sent­ed by singer Dusty to cho­sen guests from the audi­ence, which received spe­cial thanks. Indi­vid­u­al­ly, they were asked to the front, accom­pa­nied by pianist MiKey and benev­o­lent applause.
At the end of this rit­u­al, the team dis­trib­uted sparklers to every­one present, where­upon a won­der­ful pic­ture was tak­en of the illu­mi­nat­ed cas­tle garden.
 
And so Dust of Soul lived up to the state­ment of the news­pa­per “Neue Luzern­er Zeitung” in the arti­cle of the 16th of July 2016, that Dust of Soul’s phi­los­o­phy is about “to touch peo­ple and find open doors and hearts through the music in all the world”. Every­one is wel­come and true friend­ships arise from con­certs. Thus also the team of Dust of Soul has grown. With such a sto­ry you can tell noth­ing else than thank you. In this sense to com­ple­tion goes a big thank you to the direc­tor Tim Moitzi of the Château Gütsch and his team, as well as the Gütsch bar which served the guests friend­ly and pro­fes­sion­al­ly until the end. And with these acknowl­edge­ments all could leisure­ly round off the sum­mer night.
