Stark bewölkt: Herman Müntzing & Gunnar Lettow / Olivier di Placido
Herman Müntzing, FlexichordGunnar Lettow, E-Bass, FX/ solo: Olivier di Placido, electric guitarHerman Müntzing Born in Stockholm, Sweden 1964. In the late eighties, after graduation from Royal Academy of Music, he had some years playing electric bass in several bands, all into rather straight jazz/rock. His first encounter with free improvised music, the Swedish trio GUSH, made a huge impact on me, he was stunned! After experimenting a lot on my bass with different kinds of preparation, he soon felt a need for a new instrument that allowed me to produce the kind of sounds that he was looking for. That made him create the flexichord; a 12-stringed electric guitarlike instrument. Since the late nineties he works as a musician and educator, mainly in the fields of improvised and experimental music with different Swedish and international groups. Giving concerts in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, UK, Iceland, Belgium, France, Holland. Giving lectures/workshops in improvised music, building experimental musical instruments and graphic notation. Collabarations with Phil Minton, Eugene Chadbourne, Thurston Moore, Martin Küchen, Andreas Axelsson, Peter Nilsson, Dror Feiler, Rex Caswell, Sten Sandell, Mats Gustavsson, Raymond Strid, Johannes Bergmark, Stefan Östersjö, Amit Sen, Kjell Nordesson, Mats Lindström, Morgan Ågren, Mats Öberg, Simon Steensland.http://www.myspace.com/hermanmntzingGunnar Lettow begann seine musikalische Laufbahn als Rockmusiker in Kiel. In der Kieler Avantgarde-Rock Gruppe Nice Noise begann er die Erforschung der klanglichen Möglichkeiten des E-Basses. Immer mehr wird der E-Bass präpariert und der Klang elektronisch bearbeitet um neue Klangwelten zu schaffen. Aktuelle Projekte sind das Duo "phase~in" mit Sylvia Necker und ein Improvisations-Trio mit Robert Klammer und Lars Scherzberg.
