#Arteetude Episode 243: WAW (aka Schlich & Schlömer) on Tour: From Skibbereen to Stage: Reflections, Performances, and New Beginnings.

ArTEEtude: Unveiling the Spectrum of Art, Culture and Mind. West Cork´s Art and Culture Podcast by Detlef Schlich.

Detlef Schlich and Dirk Schlömer, of the newly formed band Wild Atlantic Way (WAW), have just concluded their West Cork Rocks 2024 Tour. Reflecting on their journey during the bus ride back, they share the highlights of their intense and creative experience. Their tour included a successful gig at the Oasis Art Café in Ballydehob for the Uganda Recording Studio Fundraiser, where they raised 340 euros and performed with additional musicians Aileen Becker and Thomas Wiegandt. The performances were dynamic and well-received despite some logistical challenges, like forgotten lyrics. The duo also recorded new tracks at Mick's White House café and explored the scenic Sheep's Head peninsula. Their journey was enriched by interactions with locals and fellow musicians, culminating in impromptu performances that captured the true spirit of Ireland. Detlef and Dirk plan to continue their musical journey with more projects on the horizon.

Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognized for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural and political aspects of media in culture.
