Info for Studio Konzert for Headphones

Over the years, many experimental or avant-garde jazzmen were already in front of the microphones of Bauer Studios for direct recording in the Studiokonzert, but Maria Joao and her two companions Joao Farinha and Andre Nascimento are really a very own league. The Brazilian singer is flanked by two electronics specialists, one on the synthesizer, the other on the laptop. This is a very cool and exciting mix of beats, loops, and grooves. Maria Joao, a voice, is an irresistible energy bunch, between jazz jazz and a totally freaky scat song, everything is conceivable for her and Cole Porter's "I Get A Kick Out Of You "a gloomy Drum'n'Bass number, and the second is dedicated to the electro settings of Shakespeare poems - plenty of fun,

Highly interesting, unique and first-class jazz in first-rate, analog sound quality. "The studio-concerts of Neuklang have always impressed the audience with what great recording techniques can do.

Maria João
Known best for the disruptive style in which he approaches the written language, Aldir leads the words he uses to its almost complete deconstruction, elevating not only the meaning of the word itself, but also digging up all the emotional weight it can muster.

The narrative, the characters, the sounds and themes chosen by Aldir in his poetry, and the irreverence with which he uses them, have made his voice one of the most singular presence within contemporary music.

Defined by her unique style, Maria João became a mark in the improvised music scene. Her remarkable vocal ability and her singular interpretive intensity earned her the international recognition as one of best singers worldwide. Unanimous applause, criticism and public opinion have named her "a voice taken to the last consequences", declaring her "a singer who does not stop evolving".
