It was born when Markus Stauss had the idea to create with modern
instruments what in medieval times was called a "broken consort" - a
band composed of wind and pluck instruments and strings including a
percussion unit (SPALTKLANG – "split sound" is the German word for it).
This ensemble is to play music suspected to become evergreens, which
earlier on were produced by…
ULTERIOR LUX with Jean Chaine & Rémy Sträuli – the "Exciting Fusion
Band", which produced the far around praised CD Evergreen.
ECHOES with Hans Anliker, Pit Kayser & Olivier Vogt, a chamber
music ensemble which "opens doors to rooms, neither man nor woman have
ever entered"
ÜBERFALL with Pit Kayser, special guest Jean Chaine and others,
progressive Rock, strangely fascinating, with songs the texts of which
still concern today.
Already the first sessions kicked off the interest to incorporate new
musical material into the compositions, to alter arrangements and
improvisation concepts of the evergreens and take up some of the
"nevergreens" to unfold the "SPALTKLANG" (broken sound) at its best.
Between Mai and December 2010 we had to talk about a new line-up. Many discussions and sessions, a lot of thinking into
different directions and tons of material for new compositions lead me
to this "new project": Spaltklang enters the next decade of its history
with an enlarged line-up: Christian Weber replaces Stephan Brunner and Jérôme Koopmann (trumpet and trombone) and Ruedi Schmid (el. guitar) join the band. |
