CHRIS NEWMAN " New Songs Of Social Conscience / Six Sick Songs/ London "



"...singing the songs i do not try to be a singer but rather a singing self..."
CHRIS NEWMAN



Songs of social conscience. Songs occured with no preconception as to what they are "meant" to sound like. Songs made of the "not exceptional", grabbed from the bare, uncensored revelation of everyday material...

Chris Newman is a London born artist. He has studied music theatre with great Mauricio Kagel in Cologne. He is also a poet, an author, a visual artist...

The album consists of 14 compositions derived from 1984 (Six Sick Songs), 1990 (New Songs Of Social Conscience) and 1992 (London). Recorded in 1998 in Berlin.
