Soap&Skin’s presence on stage is a challenging and oppressive event, a spectacle of the most intense kind, a force of nature, which breaks in unexpectedly and takes your breath away. She acts as an all-encompassing power that, like a black hole that sucks up all matter and light in itself, accumulates the energy and attention of the audience to an extremely emotionally dense atmosphere. Nobody leaves untouched from a concert by the 21-year-old. The Styrian-born is surrounded by never revelatory secrets. Her music creeps in from a distance and despite sharing her innermost depths of her soul with the audience, it seems as if she actually gives away very little. Nevertheless, “Narrow” is probably the most personal statement of the Styrian-native.

As on her debut album “Lovetune For Vacuum”, Anja Plaschg once again carries the interplay between restraint and great dramatic outbursts to extremes.  Rather sparsely instrumented with a piano and some electronic dalliances (new are subtly used strings and choirs), the introverted artist opens a new space for herself to fully develop her art. Cheerful music has never been the name of the game for the Styrian artist and “Narrow” is no exception.  Her pieces reveal themselves as a vehicle for the expression of her inner turmoil, desperation turned into sound.  Like no other, Soap&Skin is known for never letting her music slip into clichés or pitifulness. Thus, the chilling and oppressive opening track of the mini-album, “Vater” characterizes the entire album. The musician sings about her father’s death with the most authentic and honest feeling of sadness and without any insincere masquerade.

With “Narrow” (release date: 02/10/2012), Soap&Skin once again succeeded in producing a more than impressive album, music that once again impressively underlines the exceptional position of the artist, deeply touching and fascinating the listener at the same time.

A lot of things have been happening in recent years in the Austrian music scene. Particularly in the field of the alternative and electronic music scene you cannot help but feel that things are constantly moving in a more and more positive direction. Hardly a month goes by without having a musician or a band revealing top-notch albums, which apply to international standards. Slowly, this development is increasingly gaining attention beyond Austrian borders and more and more Austrian acts are being invited to perform in the prestigious international clubs and concert halls. Elektro Guzzi, Soap & Skin, Parov Stelar, or Fennesz, are only a few names with a steadily growing fan base.

To further enhance this effect and to increase the visibility of Austrian music around the world, a joint initiative of the Austrian Music Fund, the Austrian Economic Chambers, the Federal Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture, AKM and the IFPI Austria have put together an exquisite selection of Austrian music with the “Austrian Music Box”. The box includes five CDs, which – depending on the the genre – reflects the best domestic productions, chosen by industry experts and journalists. The “Austrian Music Box” is intended to serve as a promotional tool at international music fairs, showcase festivals and for institutions and partners from abroad.

Responsible for the selection of artists of the “Alternative/Electronic” CD are Thomas Heher, Stefan Niederwieser, Max Zeller and Manuel Fronhofer from the Vienna Showcase Festival  Waves Vienna. In the accompanying text of the CD, Thomas Heher states that “pop music from Austria was most successful when it was independent”. This proposition indicates the selective process by which the bands and musicians were chosen to represent themselves with a song on the compilation. The CD is also very successful in portraying the immense diversity in Austrian music with a wide range in various music genres and styles , from singer/songwriter, indie rock and hip hop over to electronic music.

Gerd Kühr manages to compile whole compositions from the smallest elements. From the sputtering noise of a small drum, a single tone penetrates into a changing, irregular rhythm, which is adopted by other instruments and results in a varied pitches and tone colors. The single tone is gradually extended with small embellishments and opens a compelling sound world. Kühr uses  small, traditional methods to enter the tones into a new context for unusual processing. The described beginning of „Revue instrumentale et électronique“ (2004/05) is not only characterized by the constant penetration of traditional elements. The examination of the history of musical genres and characters is a major component of Kühr’s work. Though the assumption of a traditional sound language would be misleading, since it is especially the profound knowledge of historical material which Kühr uses to develop a very individual creative process.

“Distance and intimacy, stagnation and sound motion, statics and tempo, partly excited and shrill … imaginary dance theater”, is how Kühr describes his “Revue”. While the compositions of recent years are devoted to very specific musical themes, Kühr first reached a wide audience, when his opera “Stallerhof” was premiered in 1988 at the first Munich Biennale with a libretto by Franz Xaver Kroetz. The opera has ever since – which is most unusual for an opera of a more recent date – been performed in several cities in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. 1999 was followed by “Tod und Teufel”, which was inspired by Peter Turrini for the 100th anniversary of the Graz Opera. This affinity to the opera, each based on a stringent plot, can be connected to his past studies. After his compositional studies at the Salzburg Mozarteum, Kühr took inspiration from his late teacher Hans Werner Henze. His studies also included history, music education and conducting, which is why he occasionally performs his own works.

After his operas, Kühr eventually moved away from the traditional genre, although he always remains true to the drama in music, as in his Violin Concerto “Movimenti” (2004/06), which is dedicated to Patricia Kopatchinskaja and shows several traditional elements in a new interpretation. For example, when the performers continue to perform the gestures of music without producing a single sound. In addition, the experiments of the boundaries between sound and noise are driven to a cancelation of both categories, including the spatial component as in “Revue” by the opposition of different instrumental groups. In one of his more recent works, “Música Pura” (2010/11), Kühr takes on the task of creating music that draws its expressiveness by itself – this is almost the opposite of his approach with operas.

With Gerd Kühr you may expect that he does not limit himself to a once found musical language. He rather repeatedly experiments with music and its potential roles and forms, thus possibly finding the unexpected.

Following the successes of recent years, the team around the artistic director Friedl Preisl have been working hard to offer us a number of musical highlights. As already proven in previous festivals, the mix of traditional music with innovative sound creations has brought something new to the festival table and results in an ever-increasing interest from the audience.

This year, music enthusiats can look forward to a wide range of exciting performances. Highlights include a focus on “Bella Italia”, which introduces several leading representatives of the Italian world music scene, such as Ricardo Tesi and his band Italiana, the Nuevo Tango Ensemble, the Simone Zanchini Duo and Daniele Di Bona Ventura. As every year, the festival will kick off with the traditional opening gala by Otto Lechner and is not to be missed. Benchmarks of the festival and audience favorites such as the very popular silent film cycle with live music will take place in the Viennese venue Filmcasino, as well as the “Magic Afternoon” for children in the venue Dschungel Wien.

A glance at the rest of the program is likely to make a music connoisseur’s heart beat faster. Outstanding international and local musicians and bands, such as the Neue Wiener Concert Schrammeln, Renato Borghetti, Attwenger, Bratfisch, Catrin Pfeifer und Band, Soyka & Stirner, Annie Bonny and the Hiking Sinking Ladies, Stefan Sterzinger, die.hammerling, the Ot Azoj Klezmer Band, Klaus Paier & Asja Valcic, Lepistö & Lehti, Mika Vember and her trio, the Lebeau-Trio will celebrate a wild tryst on the many stages of the city (Baumgartner Casino, Theater Akzent, Ost Klub, Ehrbar-Saal, Sargfabrik, Reigen, Haus der Begegnung Floridsdorf, Schutzhaus Zukunft, Porgy & Bess, Metropol, Vindobona, Orpheum). Listing all of the festival’s musical highlights would simply go beyond the scope of one article.

The comprehensive and exciting festival program of 2012 shows yet again why the accordion festival has become a fixed component in Viennese musical life and justifies its spot at an international level.

The program includes five Austrian documentaries and feature films, yet all of them are out of the competition. The only Austrian film that may be hoping for a prestigious bear award is the music video “Zounk!” by the experimental filmmaker Billy Roisz in the category ‘Berlinale Shorts’ for best short film.

Music that pulsates rhythmically to color clusters, where the images work as a translation of sound structures. In her music video “Zounk!”, Billy Roisz broke the song “eisenwalzer” of the Austrian band Broken Heart Collector apart into its individual musical elements and  translated these into a dense image-sound- texture.

The video is the result of a technical workflow where each music track has a visual feedback. When an instrument sets a tone on the auditory level, you can immediately see the reaction in the image. The audio signal is transmitted by means of technical equipment for the visual level. As in the music piece, the individual tracks are brought together and reciprocally mounted on the visual level. The auditory and visual levels then intertwine, interact and become a vibrant whole.

For many years Roisz Billy has been one of the most productive Austrian artists in the field of  experimental film, but experimental film itself is only a small part of her work. Roisz combines video and music, creates her own sounds, performs live and realizes installations. Her many individual ideas are channeled in various different forms of expression.

In three years the festival has gained a notable international reputation and therefore next to Estonia applications have come also from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Belorussia, Ukraine, Poland, Czech, Italy, Austria, Germany, Holland, England, Scotland, USA, Canada, Australia and Japan. 418 bands and artists have sent in applications representing all genres of music from contemporary classical to hard rock music.

Tallinn Music Week will once again fill the city of Tallinn and bring music to the most exciting clubs and concert venues. Kristo Rajasaare, head of programme of the festival comments: “We have been thrilled to witness increasing interest from the artists of our neighbouring countries Finland, Latvia and Lithuania, but also from Russia, Poland, Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, UK and other countries. The core of our programming will of course be the up and coming Estonian talent, offering the whole musical spectrum from local metal, punk and dance to folk, singer-songwriter and classical music, but we are excited to showcase also some bright examples of the European music scene.”

Tallinn Music Week festival will take place in 16 key venues of Tallinn, most of them situated in the old town – theatres, bars, music clubs and old legendary cinema halls. The festival will host a line-up of around 150 artists and is looking forward to welcoming around 8000 enthusiastic music fans over 3 nights of an introduction to the region’s hottest talent.

All artists in the programme will be under the spotlight to be discovered by European festival promoters, international media, managers, agents, record labels and publishers. The fast growing list of delegates can be found on the website: http://www.tallinnmusicweek.ee/delegates2.php (tmw)

Those who know the current projects of the five protagonists of this extraordinary band project, know that you will not get very with describing the music of BROKEN.HEART.COLLECTOR with conventional categorization attempts. The members are all true musical free spirits that do not really care much about stylistic boundaries. There is hardly a genre in which Maja Osojnik (Rdeča Raketa, Maja Osojnik band FruFru, Subshrubs) has not already experimented with. No matter whether in jazz, contemporary music and improvisation, electronics, pop, or traditional music, the native Slovenian is an incredibly versatile vocal artist and bass flutist with a very impressive sense of style through the worlds of music. It is a similar story with Susanna Gartmayer (When Yuppies Go To Hell, Vegetable Orchestra). The highly successful improvisational bass clarinetist is a wonderful example of an artist who always strives to tread the paths that lead away from the conventional whenever possible . The three gentlemen derhunt, Raumschiff Engelmayr and DDKern are also no strangers to experimental music and have proven their their highly experimental liberated approach to rock music  with their band Bulbul.

BROKEN.HEART.COLLECTOR is a  highly intense, densely atmospheric listening experience and will definitely be enjoyed by all lovers of experimental, avant-garde-influenced sounds.

As a special honour this year, the artist Billy Roisz disassembled BROKEN.HEART.COLLECTOR’s song  “eisenwalzer” for her new video “Zounk!” and weaved it into a brightly colored and dense image sound-texture that vibrates between white and black frames, bringing the movie screen to life.  The video will be presented to a large audience at this year’s Berlinale and premieres in Berlin on February the 14th, 2012.

No matter in what musical context, the award-winning musician preferably moves along the transitions between different musical styles. He does not think much of constantly repeating himself, but rather seeks to diffuse retracted listening habits in order to avoid the risk of getting lost in randomness. Driven by curiosity and ambition to render the extraordinary, the Lower Austrian creates his very own unmistakable sound language, which finds its expression somewhere between jazz, classical music, world music and improvisation.

Born in 1973 in the Lower Austrian City of Amstetten, Georg Breinschmid claims that he decided to learn an instrument relatively late. “Unlike my two older brothers, who were already professional musicians years ahead of me, I was a late starter and for some reason, I struggled a long time with the thought of learning an instrument. The thing with the bass then came by chance, because two of them were lying around in our house and so I casually started plucking around on them. And that is how it all started. I was about 14 years old at that time, comparatively late,” said Georg Breinschmid in a mica-interview two years ago. This only underlines the pronounced musical understanding of the bassist, who now lives in Vienna. Although always fascinated by jazz, he first made a long musical detour before he turned to jazz.

At first Georg Breinschmid studied classical bass at the University of Music and Dramatic Arts in Vienna. Soon first engagements with major orchestras, such as the Austrian Vienna Philharmonic and the Vienna Symphony, and various chamber music ensembles, such as the Amadeus Ensemble, Ensemble Kontrapunkte and the Ensemble Die Reihe, followed. He also spent several years as a member of the Lower Austrian Tonkünstler Orchestra. Over time, however, Breinschmid felt more and more driven towards jazz, where he expected to be able to develop and express himself more as a musician. “For me it’s like I’ve always had a more natural access to jazz than to certain parts of classical music. Even today, I sometimes still can’t find a real emotional connection.” says the bassist.

He decided to turn his back on his orchestral career to take his musical career to the next level as a freelance jazz musician. Soon enough, he succeeded in establishing himself as one of the most accomplished and versatile bassists in the international jazz scene. Many collaborations with big leaders of the music scene, such as Archie Shepp, Charlie Mariano, Kenny Drew jr., Biréli Lagrène, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Triology, Megablast, Harry Sokal and many others, followed. Between 1999 and 2006, the Lower Austrian was also a constant bassist of the world famous Vienna Art Orchestra.

Since 2005, Georg Breinschmid has also been increasingly working as a composer, although this also took its time, as the multi-faceted musician admits: “Although I always played improvised music, I never composed a single tone up to the age of 30. For a long time I didn’t even try, simply because I didn’t dare to. I then only started, because I thought I should at least try it once. So I tried it, and behold, a whole new field of activity opened up for me.” Since then, his compositions have been performed by the Ensemble Amarcord Wien, the Duo “Bach & Bosnisch“, the ensemble Bass Instinct and many more.

In all of his musical activities, Georg Breinschmid always presents himself as a tremendously versatile chameleon. All of his publications and projects are evidence of an extraordinary openness to different styles. Whether he celebrates the fine art of improvisation with his long-time colleague Thomas Gansch, or plunges into the world of Balkan music, as on his highly acclaimed CD “Wien bleibt Krk”, or walks in Franz Liszt’s footsteps together with the Janoska brothers in the formation Brein’s Liszt Cafe, Georg Breinschmid seems to always be one step ahead.

Georg Breinschmid’s openness, curiositiy and love of experiment constantly inspire the bassist and composer to strive for unprecedented creative excellence. With his ability to reinvent himself again and again, we may assume that this extraordinary artist is far from reaching the end of the road.
