Artist Info
Who
Konrad Kuechenmeister is surely one of the most captivating artists of the contemporary underground music scene. While being live on stage he personifies the harmony of traditional musician`s skills and the multimedia techniques of the new millenium.
How
This multi-instrumentalist is composing, arranging, creating, mixing and does all that LIVE on stage. While doing so he uses traditional instruments like guitar, bass guitar, melodica, djembe, didgeridoo, Brasilian percussion and shakers which he plays and records with his loopstation. Then adding his vocals and some beatboxing with modern effects the loopstation is converting all those several recordings into an „endless loop“. With this loopstation Konrad can easily re-arrange the order of the single loops and by doing that creates a sound that you would usually expect to be played by a band.
Konrad Kuechenmeister`s music completely goes without pre-fabricated samples but instead creates sounds in a rather abstract way using bottles, pots, bowls, spoons, cake-tins, milk frothers and other unusual „instruments“. By leaving enough space for improvisations every single show is unique and special.
Where
Konrad started his career as a street musician in Berlin and since those days he played more than 400 shows in Europe, the US, China and Brasil where he was supporting ManuChao at the Arena in Brasilia.
What
All the impressions and inspirations he was subject to during his touring culminated in this very unique style which is as well-rounded as concise. His music is a very own interpretaion of styles like Drum`nBass, Reggae, Dancehall, Dub, House, HipHop, Latin Music, Ska and Breakbeat and is the reason why each of his shows is and unforgettable experience.
