Hannes Buder / Dimos Vryzas
Two solo sets of improvisational and experimental sound.

Buder has written solo compositions, first for electric guitar, later for cello and voice. These compositions are recorded on his five personal albums. He has also composed for smaller and larger ensembles, for example for a 25-piece orchestra. He often collaborates with dancers, in large groups or in duets. He has composed, performed and recorded music and sound for film and theatre. He has collaborated with / worked with Nicole Mitchell, Todd Capp, Andrew Lafkas, Helmut Öhring, Thomas Noll, Hannes Lingens, Luc Houtkamp, Audrey Chen, Tony Buck, Audrey Lauro, Hilary Jeffery, Mike Majkowski, Steve Heather, among others.

They wrote about Hannes Buder:
“Wonderfully balanced artistic sound, versatile, vibrant and non-negotiable in its musical character.” (Süddeutsche Zeitung, 26.5.2009)
“A musical firework, skilful, rich in variety and deeply emotional.” (Badische Zeitung, 30.01.2010)”
The violinist and improviser Dimos Vryzas, active in the European free improvisation scene, collaborates and records with important improvisers. He is a member of the drone improvisation trio “Life Only” (Fred Frith, Diego Aguirre), of the duo Miracapillo/Vryzas (Valeria Miracapillo), the duo Karbacher/Vryzas (Eva-Maria Karbacher) and the Greek trio “The Coal” (with Simos Riniotis and Yannis Arapis). His musical path testifies to a wide range of influences, from classical and traditional music to rock, noise and ambient. His interests are currently directed towards expanding the sonic boundaries of the violin, towards experimentation and exploring the contrast between acoustic and electronic sound, towards the search for new ways of musical expression.
