Franz Hautzinger

Franz Hautzinger is one of the most prolific experimental musicians of the Austrian scene who has worked with many big names of the international avant-garde and recorded. He has run many own ensembles (legendary his Regenorchester, Gomberg, Covered music) and is a partner of Kapazundern as Elliot Sharp, Otomo Yoshihide, Butch Morris, Keiji Haino, Hamid Drake, Lou Reed, Zeitkratzer, Derek Bailey, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Phil Niblock, David Sylvian and many more. Hautzinger has developed its quarter-tone trumpet an expression means an entirely new kind, which it bizarre tones and sounds coaxed. In his solo performance he creates adventurous soundscapes that sound more like electronic music than a trumpet, and are full of interesting sounds.
