Karen Stever is about to break a woman who has made it out of their everyday lives, to let the sadness largely behind her and hopes with their music and helping others. The key moment was when she realized that we, with our clocked life, the corset of obligations, deadlines etc., in short, what constitutes an adult life, just hard to please, or may be even happy. The logical consequence was a return to childhood. Of course at that time every moment was not beautiful and every child, which this time was taken by any accidents or other adverse circumstances is one too many. Karen wants to appeal to the inner child, raise, show that it is good to play, now and then let go. Moments of joy against the pressure of uniformity, and if it goes more. She found along the way to their creativity and supplemented their lives for more than one aspect. Anyone who wants can now enrich its with the results of their already philosophically to be named work.
It prints a personal touch. Karen takes the trouble to provide each ordered from your CD with dedication and signature.
The music is by and large rock, but is always accompanied by changes in tempo, the use of unusual sounds and the like. Likewise, Karen's voice is not always the same and so underlines sometimes the sung with a defiant, aggressive or other note.
However, the idea behind it is far greater. Was the first CD Playground Isolater! One more "conventional" collection of songs, albeit with a deeper message, then Idiot Savant built on a broader idea and continues. Even for the photos on the cover and in the booklet created puppets now be used in the videos. Another bonus is the Making Ofs to various details, such as the virtual tour of the of Frank Gryner animated building where the next clip will play (Note: some of the videos are not (yet) found on their site, but at Facebook). Karen is remarkable insight into their thoughts and their work, the interest and pleasure to deal with their work, if only therefore rekindle again and again because is clear to see how much energy, passion and fun in this work lies.

The entire CD Idiot Savant is based on the fictional character of a nine-year-old named Ian, who grew up in the 30s. He has a very good rapport with animals, and looks his point of view not only different, but usually more than rushing through the world adult. Unfortunately, with very negative consequences for him. His childhood and therefore ignored wisdom him in connection with the idiocy surrounding undoing. The lack of understanding for many a child is told here in a drastic way and the listener has the opportunity to own childhood, personal contact with children and the social perspective to reflect - hopefully with personal gain in more than one plane. Gespoilert enough, we dedicate ourselves to the story.
The story begins with a fair visit. The introduction is by fitting a sounding after barrel organ keyboard. Actually, Ian should be happy, but "he" sounds more indignant and annoyed.Already on the journey he feels uncomfortable, as if he was not part of it. Everywhere he recognizes the existing bad and it is easy for him G reen . From the cheerful music has long since given way to an uneasy feeling. See the passing carousel horses for him menacingly, and when he sees a coachman whipping a living horse, he is almost in despair, because he can not help it.
Scatterbrain begins impatient, an impression which is reflected both in music and singing and crosses. First, it seems to be Ian's imagination, which deals with a mouse hole, then it's always more to demands made by everyday to us, from the constantly ticking clock to the statement that life is not a puzzle, but a mystery for people.
The song Idiot Savant presents practices of the former sanatorium healing art and its creators and proceeds to denounce the locking up and dealing with the idiots at that time so designated. To what extent this criticism is coined for now, remains open, but can be inferred from the general tenor of the CD and the approach. The piano is ideal to create a depressing atmosphere, which is maintained in the full tones of these, rocky passages. A brief attempt to escape sounds happy, but fails and the piece ends as it began.
Ian, who is now in the mental hospital just described ekes out his life, finds a friend in the form of the doll Serinetta . Playful and quiet flows the song and there is some peace, even if Ian observed and unfairly treated, sometimes even a little fights.
Electric guitars, supported by a gently plucked bass, promise a faster piece. The nest of a crow is located in a ausgedientem car, the Juggernaut . It is in danger and Ian rooting for the Crow family.

Looking out the window of a squirrel is observed, as it seeks to hide. There seems to be persons who are the sounds that the animal when Poking Holes caused not like. Ian can not understand because he is fascinated by the brilliance of the stock manifold. He'd love to go out and help. Starting again with the piano, the music is lively, but remains down to a short sequence unobtrusive. It's a shame that the nut collectors remains sluggish.
As might be expected, Ian would not mind being able to escape from the asylum, but unfortunately because the nurse. He hopes for help from the spiders, because they were already there before him, watched over him if he stayed in the garden. The thought of the time closer to nature like him, although he also remembers a person who had called him retarded, just because he spoke with the creepy crawlies. As a Black Guard he is still waiting but at the right moment for his escape. The Fair music follows a dramatic appeal that predominates in the following, but alternates with tripping on the ear canal notes.
Fulminant it goes on. A punchy song that is quiet until the end. It raises the old question of why the most powerful use their power only for their own benefit and not to improve the world in general. Perhaps it would be really time again for a jacquerie.
In the next part we learn something about Ian's apparently mother and her fate. There is also a lesson in self-denial. Mom was a burlesque puppet whose strings were a little worn out, so that her head mostly hung down. They entertained the troops and was someone, because it was popular. It just had to be taken to ensure that they never have a look in thefull length mirror could throw, because otherwise they would have seen the leap that had spread lengthwise. Musically, the environment is well made and spiced up with a fuller sound.
Apparently not quite match the age of ten years, told the next song of the favorite companion and their backwoods relationship. Maybe Ian has become adult or Wee Bonnie Parker is a few years ahead of him, because she drives and tampered with firearms. What kind of fun sounds by itself, is expertly thwarted by the piano and a raised, sad piece. In the middle of a short put the other instruments, the piano takes over before the finale.
Virtuoso is back on the usual instruments and has an almost orchestral touch. Variations are particularly evident in Karen's expression and by the background chorus of "Is not it beautiful?" sings. We've come full circle and the boy whose fate allowed himself a turn at a carnival, learn the world of illusionists, the opera and concert halls know.
At the end of a beautiful description of the railway fascination with coal, steam and squeaking noises. Copper Crushing like Ian and he sets off for a hopefully better life. Quiet and contemplative rolls the song then dominated by an acoustic guitar and Karen's voice.
The story of a nine-year-olds should not be so sad. Questionable whether Karen are the dark tones better or if there are topics that colored their work accordingly. After the announcement, their music should motivate the expectation was different, friendlier, less oppressive, even if a happy ending hints at.
Nevertheless, the songs take over much, allow us to reflect and move a lot in the focus, which even today, unfortunately, still should be current and debatable. Just a question worth listening to CD and something in the right mood to enjoy.
