"Folklore-free folk music" stars? Marcus H. Rosenmüller shows what and who is meant by this in "Three Quarter Blood – Space Tourists".
The cinematic portrait "Three Quarter Blood – Space Tourists" (release date: August 6) by director Marcus H. Rosenmüller (47) and cameraman Johannes Kaltenhauser (48) shows how the two artists work together for their "folklore-free folk music", what they think about what is her understanding of art and the world. This refers to the musician and composer Gerd Baumann (born 1967) and the singer, lyricist and bassist Sebastian Horn (49).

A Lower Bavaria Crime" (2010, crime comedy), "Blaubeerblau "(2011, drama)," Operation Zucker (2012, thriller), the Bavarian alternative rock band Bananafishbones (since 1987), the Singspiel am Nockherberg from 2013 to 2017, the new Amazon series "Der Beischläfer" (2020, Title song "Deifedanz"), the upcoming ARD thriller series "Oktoberfest 1900" (from September 15, 2020, title song "Wos remains") …
Gerd Baumann and Sebastian Horn founded their home sound duo Dreiviertelblut in 2013. They released their debut album "Lieder vom Unterholz" on Millaphon Records, the Munich indie record label owned by Baumann, concert organizer and cultural manager Till Hofmann (49) and the former national soccer team player Mehmet Scholl (49).
This is what the documentary "Three Quarter Blood – Space Tourists" is about
In the documentary, Sebastian Horn and Gerd Baumann meet in a dilapidated hut deep in the snowy forest and talk about God, the world and the universe – horn in coat and wool hat, Baumann in spacesuit. Later, the filmmakers accompany the earthy horn through the forest, where every living being has its place, where everything works together, where everything makes sense.
In contrast, Baumann looks at Earth from space: A small blue dot somewhere in the big universe. Why should one believe in anything? In the end, everyone will be in a hole under the ground anyway, like Sebastian Horn in one of the last scenes of the film. "But until then, every moment counts," as Gerd Baumann says, "every poem and song".
Conclusion
If you want to find out more about two musicians who have been involved in sensational productions for a long time, you should read this documentary, "a black and white dazzling, humorous film poem" to heart. Her philosophizing about time, perception of time, transience, dialect music and the vastness of the universe is entertaining and inspiring.
It was obviously the same with director Rosenmüller: "For me, the title suffix 'Space tourists' underlined a central statement by Wastl (Horn) and Gerd:' We are only guests here on Earth, and Earth is also a small part of a large one inexplicable puzzling structure, "he explains in an interview with spot on news.
