Tambourla is a dynamic trio collaboration between Andreas Paragioudakis, the renowned percussionist Martin Grabher(A) and the master of fine guitar sounds Toni Eberle. The focus of this trio is the creation of dreamy grooves on the oldest traditional music of Crete and original compositions. The marriage of some of Crete's most important instruments such as the lyre, the lute and the shepherd's flute as well as the voice and the Armenian duduk with conventional and unconventional percussion of the Occident and the Orient combined with the sensitive sounds of the guitar, loops, drones and harmonic electronics create a unique sound experience.

The free act of making music, created from the moment, is something that can be found in all eras, musical styles and cultures. It reflects our most primal musical expression. First of all, you have to become free - you just have to let go so that inspiration smiles at you and takes you beyond your own limitations. When you grow beyond yourself in the process and let the music flow, new artistic works emerge that take you far beyond what we understand as music - stories and pictures emerge. With our vocal sounds we paint loudly and quietly into space and time; archaic music meets modernity, beyond stylistic and aesthetic guidelines and expectations.

But improvisation also needs space to play, rules and structures, to "be all ears", to "tune in to each other", to "listen in and hear". Improvisation is always a form of communication - it is a game with the voice with different interactors.

Music emerges from this game. For a week, just follow your open ears and the moment, whether with a focus on vocal development, intonation or rhythm; every free foray - played as a short gem or with a long dramaturgical arc - paints the unheard out of immediacy. There is no better or worse, no success or failure. The only thing that counts is the monologue, the interaction, the dialogue, the shared musical journey.

We work in the group, where improvised choral music is created, creating solos, duets, trios with our voices or adding instruments. We work with the body, impulses and the pauses. Elements from theatre or dance can also give us inspiration for our music.

music.

Also polyphonic songs of the East-Mediterranean region, mountain songs of Crete and elemental songs of the Balkan region give an insight into a less known vocal culture.

WOTSALA, an improvising collaboration between Andreas Paragioudakis and the singer/ multi instrumentalist Marcello Wick was born 2020 as a video-streaming project that dedicated its activity in interpreting ancient myths through music.

The sound spheres created through the combination of harmonic and sub-harmonic singing, cretan mountain singing, piano, hangdrum, udu, Lyra and lute, call the listeners to travel into imaginary landscapes and experience their own archaic stories within the frame of myth. This project is complemented with the sounds of the bassist Marc Jenny and the Palestinian Percussionist Toni Majdalani

This trio composes unique sound spheres that combine traditional and contemporary timbres. Their own compositions, each telling its own story, are an invitation to the unknown and the uncertain. Familiar and foreign mingle, sometimes tenderly and sometimes dynamically. The saxophone creates sound atmospheres that open up space for the narratives of the lyre and the lute. Each time the voice offers an unexpected accent that gets under the skin and communicates sound essence. The timbres are complemented by the wide and dynamic spectrum of sounds from percussionist Martin Grabher.
