Earthy and airy at the same time,
with the unbridled joy of
experiment, die.hammerling are
spinning a unique sound woven with
passion and dedication. Each piece
a new emotional earthquake, each
one resting in a sound-universe
with corners and edges—black
and colourful birds whistling from
the home country on the telegraph
wires stretched to Suriname.
die.hammerling flow out of various musical sources. Together they sound magical, mysterious, direct and playful. An intelligent music full of emotion, always open to the creativity at the moment—performed successfully in many international music festivals from Tunis to Vienna, Salzburg, Munich to Hamburg. This wide spectrum of sounds is also very much appreciated as theater- and film music, most recently 2010 in a project "Over the Mountain", a guided therapeutic alpine crossing for drug addicted young people. die.hammerling empathize with the inimitable way of the inner world of these people. |

die.hammerling — Press Commentaries
The third and last one of
the jawo label is by
die.hammerling and
is called "Hommage an
die verlorenen
Sprachen". Only a few
years ago I reviewed The
album ZUG by a duo called
Hammerling and accordionist
Michaela Dietl. A strong
album with a wide variety
of styles.The cooperation
continues and the band is
now called
die.hammerling. I
think the Jawo label has a
great ear for quality,
again this is a great
album. In many ways
different than the pevious
two. I find this one the
most adventurous one with
creative original
compositions and again a
wide variety of sounds.
From The Alps to African,
Latin, to west, south,
north and east and back.
Jazz, improvisation folk,
funky and sometimes almost
rocking, but all acoustic.
This album is a tribute to
the disappearing languages,
which of course is a theme
that gives a lot of
inspiration for beautiful
music. Listen to Surinam
one of the highlights on
this album and you know
what I mean. What a power,
passion and pureness. Dietl
with her raw accordion and
strong voice, Moßhammer
with his melodic trumpet
and the fine percussion of
Rehling who is like the
cherry on the pie.
Eelco Schilder in “Folkworld” 01/2011 „Oh what sounds! And even the instruments – accordion, melodica, phantastic voice, mussel, fujara – a slovakian flute from the shepherds – alpine horn, pockettrumpet, mouthorgan, lithophon, drums, bells… What they do with it, gambols and murmurs, flowing from joy into lament. It has the tango and sometimes a very special colour in moll, making the sounds full of atmosphere and somehow quiet, inspite of the shouts for joy…” - Donaukurier, 28.10.09 |
Hammerling trifft Michaela Dietl "ZUG"FolkWorld CD Reviews, FolkWorld Issue 38 03/2009The duo Hammerling exists of Austrian multi instrumentalist (alphorn) Fritz Moßhammer and percussionist German Erwin Rehling. On this ZUG album they cooperate with accordionist Michaela Dietl. The CD contains both a collection of studio and live recordings of the trio. They play their original compositions with passion. They easily blend jazz with sounds from the Alps. They improvise and experiment with rhythms and sounds, trying to cross the limitations of their instruments. The interaction between alphorn and accordion is very nice, somehow the instruments match but also these two musicians know how to challenge each other to give everything they have, both backed by excellent percussion work. The album is full of variation, from happy sounding gnome dances to dark and sweaty nightclub sounds. Intriguing project with great musicians who managed to create a unique and own sound. |
