ANTTI PAALANEN Konzert - Vienna/Austria/Finlandby Diatonic News |
 8. März 2018 / 18.30 / Akkordeonfestival / Sargfabrik Der finnische Musiker Antti Paalanen nennt sein Akkordeon „Breathbox“, und diesem Instrument entlockt er eine erstaunliche, experimentelle und wagemutige Musik, hypnotisch und genüsslich mit Genres jonglierend. Pop, Heavy Rock, Tango, Techno oder Blues, das alles entlockt Paalanen seiner Breathbox, mit einer Energie und klaren künstlerischen Vision, der sich kaum zu entziehen ist. Antti Paalanen: „My favourite band is AC/DC (…) when I play live I try to get the same energy as rock bands.“ „The accordion is manhandled in a manner that hammers intensive shamanism into wolfram carbide, in a furnace of growling, throat-bellowing and progressive surrealism. (…) the listener has the sense of having visited the furthermost frontiers of unexplainability.“ rootsworld.com www.anttipaalanen.com Goldschlagstraße 169 - 1140 Wien Telefon: +43 1 988 98 111 ´http://www.sargfabrik.at/ |

Das Diatonic Strings Duo schöpft aus der spielerischen Vertrautheit der beiden Musiker seinen einzigartigen Klang, der Material aus verschiedenen Volksmusiken von Nord bis Süd im Geist und mit der Haltung des Jazz zu einer ganz eigenen Weltmusik verbindet. http://www.manuelsavron.com/ |
ISRAELITE/BIZ/HECKEL (UK/RU/AT) - Akkordeonfestival/Wienby Diatonic News |
 |
| Fr 2/3/2018 - 18h DREI MUSIKER UND IHRE IMAGINÄRE FOLKLORE Koby Israelite: Akkordeon, Perkussion Aliosha Biz: Violine Stefan Heckel: Akkordeon, Keyboard Drei hochkarätige Instrumentalisten, alle keine Unbekannten in der Welt des Akkordeon-festivals, konzertieren erstmals gemeinsam als Trio. Die Beteiligten stellen als Kollektiv ihre reichen individuellen Erfahrungen, die von Albumveröffentlichungen auf John Zorns Tzadik (Israelite) über Dobrek Bistro (Biz) bis zur Volksmusik von Blaubauer (Heckel) reichen, in den Dienst der großen künstlerischen Lust am Forschen und dem Aufbrechen von Grenzen. Dabei verneigen sie sich vor Bartoks Imaginärer Folklore und deren Auslegungen, spüren Verbindungen nach und schaffen solche, mit dem Publikum und mit der Musik aus wirklichen und erfundenen Weltregionen. Nicht zuletzt den Verbindungen mit jenen Momenten, in denen Musik aus der Improvisation entsteht. Veranstaltungsort: Ehrbar Saal / Mühlgasse 30 / 1040 Wien Telefon: +43 676 512 91 04 |
