A journey into Sound and Vision #3

The two shows in the grand ballroom continue the successful concerts of the past two years. A collaborative Gesamtkunstwerk made up of musical performance, the first presentation of new repertoire, outstanding guest musicians, the magic of the great hall, and the stories told by Super 8 films from another era.

 

ASK GONZALO? Who are the creators behind this unique experience?

The Spaniard Armando Carillo Zanuy can do anything with a trumpet and, as an experienced big band leader, stays calm no matter what.

Kota Maeda from Japan hails from the blues. Quiet during rehearsals but a guitar whirlwind on stage.

Peter Herzau listens, lays down soundscapes with his Fender Rhodes, and crafts deconstructive solos based on the principles of Gestalt psychology.

Francisco P. Riccheri from Argentina is the young wild card, drumming with such ease that you’d think he’s floating on a magic carpet.

Florian Scheffler, like Peter Herzau from Germany, is a musical multitalent. He’s the driving force behind projects like this one, delivering inspiring bass lines and momentum.

Johan Robin is a director, cinematographer, and editor. For his art projects, he has been collecting Super 8 film material from around the world for many years.
