Linsey Pollak studied classical clarinet, he moved
back in time, exploring first Baroque music, then Renaissance and Mediaeval
music. He learned to build historical instruments, then began to invent
instruments. A decisive experience in his life was an eight months stay
in Macedonia, where he studied the local bagpipes. This was for him “the
beginning of the journey.” Matthias Loibner was born in 1969 in Austria. His first musical experiences were with piano lessons, guitar and trombone. He continued with studies of composition, jazz composition and conducting in Graz, Austria. Since 1990 hurdy-gurdy has been his primary instrument. After lessons with Barbara Grimm, Valentin Clastrier, Riccardo Delfino and Gilles Chabenat, Matthias won 1st prize at the "Concours des vielles et cornemuses", St. Chartier, France in 1994. He has performed in concerts and recordings solo and with
deishovida, Tunji Beier, Rasha, Wafir el Din Gibril, Ruth Yakoov, Ross
Daly, Djamchid Chemirani, le concert spirituel, Alex Deutsch, Doug Wimbish,
Delmar Brown, Oren Marshall, Riccardo Delfino, Hubert von Goisern, DJ
Shantel, and others in Europe, Africa and USA. And he has produced compositions
for the ORF (austrian broadcast union) & EBU (european broadcast
union). Matthias has been teaching hurdy-gurdy and improvisation since
1994, and is the author of a hurdy-gurdy-method together with Riccardo
Delfino. Tunji Beier began to study Nigerian (Yoruba) drums
at the age of ten, later he went to India to study South Indian (Karnatic)
percussion with T.A.S. Mani At the age of 19 Tunji settled in Germany,
where he formed several cross cultural groups, including Okuta Percussion,
Ganpati and Bassama. For several years now he has been artistic director
of the Bayreuth music festival "Grenzüberschreitungen" (Border
Crossings). When Linsey returned to Australia from Macedonia, he founded
the Center for Multicultural Music in Perth, later formed multi-cultural
groups in New South Wales and Queensland. Philip Griffin graduated as a choral conducter and composer, and worked with the Australian Opera, but despite this, has managed to become a great exponent of traditional Greek instruments along the way. He has played with Xenos, Ssassa, Linsey Pollak and Ross Daly. He is, despite his appearance in the photo, a human. |
