Walter Samuel Abridged analytical notes on the film music of Klaus Harmony. Hamburg, 1997

Gay Showers Punch Up Montage, 1971 Die Grosse Brustwarze Karnival saw the emergence of some new stylistic strands in Klaus Harmony's work. He and director, Friedrich Wohlfäht had discussed the idea of echoing rhythmic elements - suggested or otherwise - in the action. 'Gay Showers' features a fine example of such a rhythmic motif which appears, in palindromic fashion, at the beginning and end of the track. The director was eager to explore some of the issues surrounding gay shower practices and there is still some debate as to whether the composer's basic rhythmic cell here represents a heartbeat or merely bum sex.
