kai fagaschinski (kreuzberg) | clarinet
barbara romen (starkenbrühel) | hackbrett
gunter schneider (starkenbrühel) | contraguitar
the trio of the two string players from innsbruck (austria) barbara romen and gunter schneider
and berlin-based clarinetist kai fagaschinski started beginning of 2006 and became fastly one
of the most joyful musical experiences of its diversely active members.
romen and schneider have worked together for many years in different projects. they are
probably best known for their stunning interpretation of lachenmann‘s salut für caudwell.
within this project the two guitarists use instruments from the austrian folk tradition to
create new sounds. (their duo cd "traditional alpine music from the 22nd century" has been
very recently released.) fagaschinski focuses on a subtle musicality of sound phenomena,
abstract but with a hint of a melodic quality.
within their improvisations the acoustic trio builds slowly often harmonic-dyed patterns. the
pointillism of the two string instrumentalists form a intimate unit with the long breath
multiphonic modulations of the clarinet. the music often developes into surprisingly beautiful
territories.
their collaboration with liverpool's turntablist philip jeck
will be premiered at the kaleidophon festival
(ulrichsberg/at) on may 3rd, 2008.
