Chameleon Changes
Founded in 2001, this band sets its focus mainly on my own composed music in modern jazz. Trying to push the boundaries between composed and improvised music, I’m very lucky to have the opportunity play alongside the likes of Bertl Mayer, Herwig Gradischnig, Daniel Nösig, Thomas Gansch, Robert Bachner, Christian Radovan, Oliver Kent, Michael Hornek, Hans Strasser, Matthias Pichler and Mario Gonzi. Our pieces sometimes develop like a piano performance of Thelonious Monk, sometimes resembling that of a risky tightrope walk: all of a sudden seemingly familiar and radical ideas are being simultaneously confronted. At its core, and consistently throughout, our music adheres with what you simply might call JAZZ!
