"Without Matter we would be lost": Mani Matter died 50 years ago. But he was never more alive
Franz Hohler, Mani's friend, and musician Stephan Eicher about Matter's life after death. (NZZ, Sept.22)
Roman Nowka's sculpting guitar, two of Switzerland's leading musicians, Lionel Friedli and Simon Gerber, together with Stephan Eicher meet Mani Matter's tragic-light world. Music that catapults the listener into infinity. With his trio HOT 3, Roman Nowka launched a program with songs by Mani Matter a good two years ago. With Endo Anaconda (Stiller Has) he found a brilliant performer who made the lyrics shine with his raw poetry and humor.
Now this great Endo has passed away. And so two performances at the beginning of 2022 became quiet commemorations of Endo, but also a continuation: As a guest singer Stephan Eicher has accompanied the Hot 3 with this great formation the project has found a happy further development!
Stephan Eicher
Cosmopolitan chansonnier (CH Music Prize winner 2021!) Stephan Eicher is a grand seigneur of European chanson. Music has always been a family affair with the Eichers: born in 1960 and raised in Münchenbuchsee near Bern, his father introduced him to music. At Zurich's F+F School of Art and Design, he acquired recording and composition techniques, which he applied in his first synth-punk band Noise Boys in the late 1970s. With his brother Martin Eicher and the band Grauzone, a two-year and intense ride on the New German Wave followed: the timeless song "Eisbär" (1981) made Grauzone and Stephan Eicher suddenly famous in the German-speaking world. His "Chansons Bleues" (1983) marked the beginning of an incomparable solo career as a cosmopolitan rock and pop chansonnier. With his unmistakable voice and his songs in French, English, German, Italian and dialect, he has since captivated a wide audience at home and abroad. His songs are musical trains of thought that reveal his inner world: He reflected on the Swiss homeland as a place of memory and longing (e.g. "Engelberg") set literary texts by Philippe Dijan and Martin Suter ("Song Book") to music and explored his Yenish roots in the 2017 film documentary "Unerhört Jenisch". In 2009, he received the Art Prize of the City of Zurich. Stephan Eicher is always committed to promoting the younger generation of Swiss musicians. In 2020, he celebrated his 40th stage anniversary at the Culture and Convention Center Lucerne (KKL) with old and new companions, including Sophie Hunger, Tinu Heiniger and the Helvetic Balkan brass band Traktorkestar.
Mani Matter was born on August 4, 1936 in the hospital of Herzogenbuchsee. His father Erwin Matter was an advocate, his mother, the Dutch Wilhelmina Matter-de Haan ( 1953), was a secretary, his paternal grandfather was head of operations at the SBB. Mani had a sister, Helen Matter, who was two years older. He spent his childhood and youth in Bern. He attended the Enge elementary school (1943-1947), the Progymnasium am Waisenhausplatz (1947-1951) and the Kirchenfeld secondary school, where he passed the Matura examination in 1955. During his high school years he wrote his first chanson, Dr Rägewurm, to the tune of Ballade des dames du temps jadis by Georges Brassens.Because he had suffered two convulsive disorders after the death of his mother, he was declared unfit for service by the military and was thus able to go directly to the University of Bern after high school. He first studied German for one semester, then switched to law. In 1963 - among other things after a traineeship at the Interlaken District Court - he acquired the Bernese lawyer's license.
Matter was first heard on the radio in 1960 with his Bernese-German chansons. He gave public performances from 1967, initially always together with the Bernese Troubadours. He only started his first solo program - urged on by Emil Steinberger - in the fall of 1971 with a performance at the Kleintheater Luzern. In 1965 his first three song texts were published: in the anthology Ballade, Lumpeliedli, Chansons à la Bernoise of the Bernese Benteli publishing house. In 1966 his first record with studio recordings appeared; his fifth and last one he compiled himself from live recordings. Some of his chansons are known only from later recordings by his friends Jacob Stickelberger and Fritz Widmer, published by them under the title Dr Kolumbus, as well as the Kriminalgschicht composed in 1972 by the three of them for the planned new program.
On the evening of November 24, 1972, on the way to a concert in Rapperswil, he collided with a truck on the highway and died instantly.[2] He was 36 years old. His grave is in the Bremgarten cemetery in Bern. His estate is kept in the Swiss Literary Archives in Bern.
