In Kite's music different cultures come together and
engage in musical conversation.Dirk Strakhof's warm singing double bass provides the
foundation for the duo. His melodious and rhythmical playing often produces
experimental sounds rarely heard from a bassist. Vibraphone and marimbaphone, played by Franz Bauer,
lend the music a full and soft sound. His love for unusual sounds, clear
themes and complex grooves lead to perfect interaction with Strakhof’s bass.
Folkloristic
themes appear through communicative performances in an unusual light, shifting
constantly between jazz and world music.
Exceptional, sparing grooves and
virtuosic solos promise an interesting program. Download Info: Kite Duo-engl. (Pdf)
