Tour 2017
with Lex van Someren
PURE SOUL NOURISHMENT!
A total work of art of color, light, sound,
singing and music that gets under your skin !
Spherical music and sound space experiences with Lex van Someren & Band
The top-class musicians around the sound artist Lex van Someren master their instruments skillfully in the colorful light of the stage and create an unforgettable sound experience in the most creative way. Johannes Hustedt on the flute surprises almost every song with a different type of flute or the soprano saxophone. Cellist Vache Bagratuni often provides the singing counterpoint to the melody or the upper voice, while virtuoso percussionist Nils Tannert impresses on his extensive arsenal of percussion and also comes into his own soloistically on the o-daiko and black drum with a lot of physical effort. Frank Steiner, who in addition to keyboard and trumpet playing is also the group's musical director, lays a carpet of sound constantly shimmering in different colors as a foundation. Joining this now established core of musicians around Lex van Someren, this year will be vocalist Katie Okwuazu.
But the healing musical touches don't stop there. Singer Lex van Someren has a vocal range of four octaves. With his deep bass, he envelops listeners in a feel-good sonic mantle or takes them to unimagined mood heights with his head voice. Together with his soul language - a melodic sequence of syllables - but also with mantra texts in Sanskrit, or with a Hail Mary sung in Latin and German songs with deep-impacting lyrics that get under the skin, he opens up very special sound spaces in which there is also plenty of room for musical improvisations by the whole band.
The listeners can find through the music and songs, despite a more than hectic time, an inner peace that just feels good. Already after a few songs this special spark jumps over to the majority of the visitors. You can literally feel the contagious warmth of the heart flowing through the hall and that makes the evening a special celebration.
