regenorchester xii: relics

Founded 1995 in London by Austrian trumpeter and band leader Franz Hautzinger as an ensemble for experimental music, the project developed over the years into a mixed style fusion band. Various musicians like Fennesz, Tony Buck, Otomo Yoshihide, Burkhard Stangl, Oren Ambarchi, Martin Siewert, and others were part of this long-time and often changing project. Strongly influenced by the electronic music genres of the 1990s, the band developed its specific "Regenorchester Sound" -- vigorously pulsating, continuously evolving sound structures with electric guitar power and strong brass melodies based on pushing rhythms. Relics was recorded live at the Klangspuren Schwaz Festival in 2019. Personnel: Franz Hautzinger - quarter tone trumpet; Christian Fennesz - guitar, laptop; Otomo Yoshihide - guitar, turntables, el. devices; Luc Ex - bass; Tony Buck - drums, percussion. Mixed by Martin Siewert/Franz Hautzinger. Mastered by Martin Siewert. Artwork by Lasse Marhaug. Liner notes by Reinhard Kager, translated by Mark Fisher.
