volksmusik: zeitkratzer comes with its own sound and immerses into folk music – into still existing folk music, not a leftover phantasm. the precendent research was concentrated on music of the danube abutters, but finally zeitkratzer used every kind of found material that proposed itself for further use: waltz-reminiscences were inescapable, zither and dulcimer are tested for their capability to produce noise, and the trumpet sings the pure and naive overtones of the mountain solitude… the lower Danube valley contributes rhythmical eruptions and finally everything leads to a wonderfull, free uprooting. Listen, be wild, enjoy!
„der standard“ (vienna) cheered for the first performance at the donaufestival: „espacially zeitkratzer could enthuse. It tested folk music from the danube region with means of the classical modernity for its capacity and also catered for moments of humor.
