Hautzinger, Franz
Gomberg Iii-iv - Airplay
Franz Hautzinger: quartertone trumpet, electronic devices, zither, voice, percussion. The alter ego Gomberg created by Austrian trumpeter Franz Hautzinger is a tool for him to "overcome his own limitations." Gomberg serves as a foil on which a second personality comes to life and does what he wants. The recordings on 'Gomberg III-V' were made between 2006 and 2018, recorded in Vienna and Brest. Some of the tracks are occasion-related compositions or commissioned works, e.g. a signature for an art space or short works for films, some are the results of collaborations for theatre, performance artists, writers and poets, others are understood as space- or site-related works, and finally, based on musical diary notes. 'Gomberg III-V' is a monumental work of trumpet art, whether it is a big orchestral piece or a delicate rhapsody, Hautzinger's trumpet work serves as a vehicle for crossing borders. His music is a point of reflection: it can awaken a feeling that one did not know existed long ago.
