biography
Before she founded the band Mania D in May 1979 with Gudrun Gut , Karin Luner, Eva Gössling and Bettina Köster , Beate Bartel worked as a sound engineer at Sender Freies Berlin . The name Mania D for the all girl band project comes from her suggestion. In 1980 Bartel was one of the founding members of the Einstürzende Neubauten , where she also played bass, including at their first concert on April 1, 1980 in the Berlin Club Moon . In 1981 Beate Bartel separated from Mania D and worked with Chrislo Haas , who had left DAF , on the CHBB-ChrisloHaasBeateBartel project, which was published on the Düsseldorf cassette label Klar! 80 published four ten-minute tapes. The works were discussed in the magazine Sounds : “Artful monotony that still stimulates the ass to move”.
In the same year Bartel founded the electronic band Liaisons Dangereuses with Chrislo Haas , which immediately released an LP with the same title. A decoupling from this LP, the title Los niños del parque , sung by Krishna Goineau, is one of the best-selling underground singles in Germany and has been sampled many times. The 6/4 division of the bass line by Beate Bartel in Los niños del parque is a distinctive feature of the composition. It is set against the 4/4 rhythm, a form of polyrhythm that is unusual for pop music. In 1982 Gudrun Gut started the Matador experimental project together with Beate Bartel and Manon Pepita Duursma . In 2004 Beate Bartel was back on stage with Bettina Köster, where they played Kill the 80s .
Beate Bartel and Chrislo Haas lived with the sound engineer and music producer Conny Plank in his studio in Neunkirchen-Seelscheid, which was also set up to accommodate musicians.
Her work for the Canadian spoken word artist Myra Davies "Cities & Girls" in 2008 and the show "Paradiesisches Tor" by Matador & Myra Davies in 2011 led to another collaboration on "Sirens" and Bartel / Gut's side project "Instrumental for Sirens ”, which was released in January 2017.
