PRESS TEXT BAUCHKLANG
What is it that pulls a person into a specific genre of music? Perhaps
the question
here should be re-stated: What is it about BAUCHKLANG that breaks the
boundaries
of any of the world-wide, underground, or popular genres, and stands alone
in an
undefined region of modern music? For these six vocalists, the question
is constantly
redefining the answer, and the answer always has something to do with
substance,
groove, and nothing but human voice and a microphone.>bk creating new
sounds and
realised the vison of doing "beat" - music without electronic
helps but with the same
pressure and intensity.
..................................................................................................................................
Building and crossing bridges over such styles as Ragga, drum&bass,
Hip-Hop,world music avantgard and Electronic; BAUCHKLANG has created an
energy and a presence that leaves a positive vibe and a revolutionary
buzz swirling around anyone who comes in to contact with them
- be it from their dynamic live performances or from the speakers of a
car stereo.
Music listeners who distinguish themselves by their scene, style, age,
mentality, generation, music preference and taste - it is as if their
personalities become suspended for the duration of a concert, as they
watch in recognition and disbelief from what their eyes, ears, and souls
are experiencing. (From 'Goths' to 'Hip-hopper's,' you can be sure that
anyone
who sees BAUCHKLANG live gives props and a shout out from their
corner of music-land. And what about in the studio?)

"Jamzero" (ecco.chamber records) was the debut release, in
2001 that
immediately sent waves of excitement across Europe and even as far as
Montreal, Canada where their 'one night invitation' to the 'Montreal Jazz
Festival'
turned out to be a week of playing shows in front of ecstatic audiences.

PRESS REVIEWS:
"the human voice here is not only the best instrument, but the
mightiest and
most precise of machines, perfect substitute for electronically generated
beats
and infrabass-lines which are put together to an authentic accoustic and
visual
hallucination of an unequalled rythmic energy (vanguardia spain )
...not only the technical achievement leaves one speechless, but also
the
music stands ist ground all the way through, this probably is the secret
that propels
these austrians well ahead of the scene...(magazine la cote/nyon/ch)
bk are no beat-box-show, but, capable of an almost infinite variety of
vocal
sound production, rather a danceable musical research project (liberation
/ france)
"like samplers of blood and flesh" (le monde france)
