Fennesz / Patton

about

Paris/Vienna based Christian Fennesz is widely known in the contemporary music context for his beautiful compositions for computer and guitar, in which he stretches resources and effects to create warm and liquid noises and ambient melodies and atmospheres that fuse classical and conceptual musical research with complex digital structures. He has produced 10 solo albums so far, but he is also widely known for his collaborations and recordings with the most diverse musicians, stretching from Ryuichi Sakamoto to Jim O'Rourke, from David Sylvian to Sparklehorse. Mike Patton, one of the most versatile artists of the rock arena. Best known as the leader and singer of Faith No More, Patton has also handled lead vocals for Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantômas and, more recently, Peeping Tom. He is specially known for writing very different songs, and utilizing a wide variety of vocal styles and techniques, as airy Medieval-style chanting, falsetto passages, Sinatra-esque lounge crooning, death metal grunts, as well as beatboxing… with a natural talent and a witty irony. Although they come from different universes, Patton and Fennesz will share stage to do an unusual performance that is a hymn to radical creative freedom: electronic touches, krautrock landscapes, sampling, stormy drones, mellotron echoes User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
