Dive into the jazz universe of Alpha Trianguli and join us for a concert of four young Austrian musicians presenting their debut album Entering Zero Gravity. Alpha Trianguli takes their audience away from the turbulence of everyday life for a few moments and into a space of weightlessness, calm and focused attention.
Inspired by the beauty and vastness of the universe, the band Alpha Trianguli begins their journey into the infinity of sound worlds. Driven by the curiosity of the four musicians to let themselves fall and be carried away, the band sometimes sounds earthy and energetic, and at some other moments calm and weightless.
The interaction of the Vienna-based quartet gives the impression that the musicians themselves form a micro-cosmos: the rhythms of the drums circulate around the gravitational field of the double bass, which ensures pulse and periodicity. The magical, expansive sound of the vibraphone fills the spaces created and sparkles like the sublime firmament. From there, the earthly and warm sound of the trombone resounds like a voice into space.
