30 July 2010
LIVING ROOM
(Christoph Pepe Auer & Manu Delago)
Album Launch ‘Colouring Book’ - 26 September 2010
Living Room launch their new album ‘Colouring Book’ which contains 11 new songs and a DVD with the film ‘Life in Rooms’. The album launch of the first Bass Clarinet & Hang duo in the world will be followed by a tour through Europe and North America.
Living Room consists of bass clarinettist Christoph Pepe Auer, Austrian Newcomer of the Year 2007 (Hans-Koller-Award), and Manu Delago, one of the most popular Hang players in the world. This pioneer duo focuses on exploring the bass clarinet’s huge tonal range and the enchanting sound of the Hang. Having formed in 2006, Living Room have toured in more than 20 countries all over the world.
Whilst continuously pushing the boundaries within a variety of musical styles, their unusual pairing of instruments creates a highly unique texture of sounds. The first-ever bass clarinet - hang - duo approaches their fresh take on chamber music without any confinements or restrictions, performing original compositions as well as creative arrangements of popular music, by artists such as Nirvana and The Beatles.
Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, of Panart Instruments, developed the Hang in Berne,Switzerland. This brand-new percussion instrument was premiered at the Frankfurt Musikmesse in 2001. Its design enables the player to effortlessly connect rhythm with melody, and its spectacular shape and sonic versatility makes this curious-looking, UFO-like instrument an absolute.
Over two million people have seen Living Room push the limits on their instruments on Youtube. Their shows are full of surprise and chance, often having left audiences wonderstruck, bewildered and bemused. Amongst the most peculiar features you can see Christoph Pepe Auer premier his musical invention the Pepephon. This is not to be missed!!
