BIOGRAPHY

Alex Kranabetter goes beyond the boundaries of conventional trumpet playing and creates music existing somewhere between free improvization and electroacoustic sound art. What starts off as a tiny fragment, quickly develops its own organic dynamics, and brings about a hypnotic pull. Fleeting melodies, gloomy loops, drones and bumpy beats, which move through empty reverberation spaces, outline the sound architecture. Out of this, emerge multi-layered, introspective pieces beyond any formal restrictions.
