We’re proud to announce the Australian release of Hinterlandt’s Ensemble.
While Hinterlandt has previously been the moniker for the sonic explorations of the solo artist Jochen Gutsch, the group has recently been reborn as a four-piece ensemble.
On this, their debut album, the Sydney-based ensemble explore their own conception of contemporary chamber music with a progressive, experimental edge; combining Gutsch’s compositions with guided improvisations and experimental performance techniques.
The result is an aesthetic that calls to mind Kronos Quartet, Tin Hat Trio or John Zorn’s Masada works, with nods to classical composers such as Antonin Dvorak or Gyorgy Ligeti, and combined with an intimate, non-perfectionist sensibility that is closer to artists like Marc Ribot or Sufjan Stevens.
We’ll be announcing a very special Sydney launch very soon. Numbers will be limited.
