Europe

Albin Paulus (Austria)

Is an internationally acclaimed bagpipe player, Jew's harp world virtuoso, experimental yodeller, voice acrobat, composer and pun writer in fact full of fun and a musician full of charm in his live performances, both in his music and his personality.

He explores in his new solo program "pure" the origin of the musical sound. And this exploration leads into new territory: from the voice as the most immediate expression, through the Jew's harp as an intimate sound miracle to newly created Beyond-of-this-world instruments such as the Wooblephone, including body percussion.

In an energetic one-man performance, Albin Paulus introduces listening habits absurdly in a tongue-in-cheek and entertaining way. All his musical activities are carried by an extraordinary joy of playing, which certainly also the rogue sits on the neck.

Albin, born in Germany with Austrian roots, has been playing the Jew's harp and yodelling since early childhood. After classical clarinet training in Braunschweig and a study of musicology in Vienna and Cremona, he made a name for himself internationally as a Jew's harp virtuoso, with the first recording of all Jew's harp concerts J. G. Albrechtsberger. Albin's active concert and teaching activities took him all over Europe as well as to Asia, North Africa and America; not least with HOTEL PALINDRONE a band he still plays with (also available via Frusion). Albin plays in numerous ensembles for "Early Music" such as "Schikaneder's youth" (A) Ensemble Baroque de Limoges (F), Musica Romana (D), Clemencic Consort (A) Concilium Musicum Vienna (A) and in theater productions.
