RUDI FISCHLEHNER (AT)

Rudi Fischerlehner is best known as the drummer with bands like Fiium Shaarrk, Gorilla Mask, Blisk, and in trio with Olaf Rupp and Matthias Müller. Further musical collaborations of past years enclose a wide, genre-bending field, from Andreas Wilers and Dominique Pifarely, Tom Arthurs and Ingrid Laubrock, Liz Albee and Klaus Kürvers to Post-Rockers Erste Stufe Haifisch and numerous soundtrack productions.
His rare solo-sets present the essence of his ideas concerning music and content. Noisy textures, freely associated Rock grooves and complex polyrhythms side-by-side and on top of each other.

“Fischerlehner leaves no issue unattended as far as drumming is concerned, either underlining what his comrades do with conscious respectfulness or exploding into destructive bubbles of counter-rhythms and thump-and-bang punkiness when the going gets tough.”
Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes
“Drummer Rudi Fischerlehner shows an amazing flexibility … His drumming surprisingly and broadly expands like an amoeba, moving drastically from delicacy to boldness in an instant.“Kayo Fushiya, Jazz Tokyo

TROPIC OF COLDNESS (IT/US)

“Tropic of Coldness” is an Italian-American duo, formed by David and Giovanni, who met by chance, or maybe not, in Brussels, Belgium during the autumn of 2011. David is a guitarist, synth and sample player, already active on the Brussels scene with his electro / experimental project “Drawing Virtual Gardens”. Giovanni plays guitar, voice and samples for the North-East Italian band “Fuji Apple Worship”, involved in a melting pot of drones, field recordings and minimal sound sculptures.

Since its beginning in November 2011, Tropic of Coldness focused on drones / ambient / electroacoustics originated from improvised session, with layers of processed guitars and synths, surrounded and filtrated by field recordings in a sort of acoustic archaeology.
The sound research permeates every single note and the harmonic pattern is oriented towards both instrumental and compositional exploration, in a combination of ambient and electronic elements.

In march 2012 they released the E.P. “Commuting”, firstly as digital download and then as CD-R for the label Cathedral Transmissions. “Commuting” has been well received by the press and was included in the The Year’s Best Winter Music 2012 by A Closer Listen and in the Long List of 2012 Best Albums by Fluid Radio.

Tropic of Coldness’ second release, “Unrelated Causalities”, was issued in February 2013 as digital download and and in 100 copies limited edition CD-R.
