TSCHAIKA 21/16 has grown into a trio and has once again ramped up the “ideas per second”. The madness of the debut album is here reduced to a children’s song. Rhythmically even more complex, more sophisticated in sound, more melodic, more driving, more versatile, more vocals, more trumpets, more More.
Explainable perhaps only by the three musicians themselves:
ONKEL on drums is trained jack-of-all-trades. He is at home on all stages, from Mainstream Pop Festival Acts to award-winning comedian stages to the "techno-marching band" MEUTE, everything is possible, but his very own project is TSCHAIKA 21/16 .
His congenial partner is guitarist Tim, the guitar autodidact and music autist, otherwise active with germany´s legendary instrumental Stoner institution ROTOR.
Tschaika 21/16
Sören is now the third member. Trained trumpet player and accordingly active in classical and chamber orchestras – worldwide on tour or at Konzerthaus Berlin.
TSCHAIKA 21/16 is used to big halls with gold and stucco on the ceiling as well as squats and alternative clubs.
Not for everyone, not for every day, but in any case a terrific album!
