Feel Free Energy – Eine Hommage an Damo Suzuki

In the organizer's words:

Feel Free Energy – A Tribute to Damo Suzuki 

featuring Bo Ningen & Jan St. Werner (Mouse on Mars)

English below

Damo Suzuki, known worldwide as the singer of the Krautrock pioneers CAN, influenced generations of musicians through his uncompromising openness, his unique art of improvisation, and his later international network project, through which he inspired thousands of musicians in more than 40 countries. His voice was “Feel Free Energy” in its purest form—spontaneous, boundless, poetic, and unmistakable.

For this tribute, Bo Ningen and Jan St. Werner come together to express their admiration for Damo’s boundary-pushing philosophy and his legacy, which lives on to this day.

The London-based Japanese band Bo Ningen is one of the most exciting live acts on the international alternative and experimental rock scene. With their unique take on psychedelic rock, noise, improvisation, and performance art, they move effortlessly between music, art, and the avant-garde.

Their raw and unpredictable stage presence has earned them a worldwide reputation as one of Britain’s most fascinating live bands and, at the same time, as a flagship of Japanese counterculture. Bo Ningen has collaborated with Damo Suzuki on several occasions. As true “sound carriers,” they carry on his spiritual legacy and follow the path that Damo has carved into the musical landscape.

Jan St. Werner, co-founder of the legendary electronic duo Mouse on Mars, is one of Germany’s most significant sound artists and producers. His work ranges from electronic music and improvisation to visual art and experimental composition. For decades, he has played a pivotal role in shaping the international electronic music scene.

“Feel Free Energy” is more than just a concert. It is a musical encounter with Damo’s spirit, his art, and the energy he brought into the world throughout his life.

Damo Suzuki did not view music as a performance, but as a form of communication.

This evening takes up his idea and carries it forward.

Feel Free Energy!

Feel Free Energy is organized by his longtime partner Elke Morsbach and Stefan Peter of the Inline Foundation gGmbH
