Printed at Bismarck's Death
Printed at Bismarck's Death is a music project that was founded in 1983 by the writer and musician Martin von Arndt and L. Heiko Mutert in Stuttgart. After initially primarily literary performances and happenings in the style of Einstürzende Neubauten were part of the repertoire, the band changed the concept after receiving the award at the “Meetings of Young Songwriters” in 1986 and concentrated on purely musical stage programs. This was followed by the first LP as well as radio plays, which met with a great response in the dark wave and avant-garde scene.
In 1989 the members LH Mutert and Rüdiger Frank left the band and founded the gothic rock formation The Tors of Dartmoor . The new musicians Ansgar Nöth and Martin Grünitz ensured a decidedly left-wing political and even stronger musical orientation of Printed at Bismarck's Death, which subsequently produced five more albums as well as theater and film music.
From 1993 the band turned to stylistically new genres. Borrowings from techno and electronica in particular had a significant impact on the musical concept. Currently, Printed at Bismarck's Death are again represented on German-speaking theater stages as a purely literary project with programs based on the works of Arthur Rimbaud , Tristan Corbière , Eduard Mörike and Friedrich Schiller .
