Herbert Pixner

There's music in it

Life is celebrated at SEPP. Together in the centre of it. Of course, this also includes good sound. And because everyone at SEPP is a bit out of the ordinary anyway, exceptional artist Herbert Pixner is a perfect fit for us – in the SEPP attic as well as on vinyl in the Roomy or Luxury rooms.

The best of two worlds come together here. Because the SEPP combines. The old with the new. Tradition with modernity. As in the music of Herbert Pixner. That’s why the musician Herbert and the hotelier Sepp have a unique friendship.

Untamed sounds

The unique music project from South and East Tyrol by multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Herbert Pixner (diatonic harmonica, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, percussion), Manuel Randi (flamenco guitar, electric guitar, gypsy guitar), Heidi Pixner (harp) and Werner Unterlercher (double bass) is currently one of the most successful acts in the field of “progressive folk music”.

 

Powerful stage presence

With their unconventional line-up, the four exceptional musicians build musical bridges between their remote home regions with playful, lascivious gentleness, powerful rock and blues riffs, brilliant technique and enormous joy in playing. The “Herbert Pixner Project” inspires, even electrifies the audience with euphoria, energy, excitement and plenty of free improvisation.

 

Instrumental music with a lot of lightness

The marvellous interplay leads to diverse soundscapes. There is room for gentle melancholy and also for outbursts that stop at nothing. It sounds minimalist, rugged, epic and very sexy.

“All of this is alpine world music without cultural arbitrariness and with musicality at its peak. It embodies a thirst for freedom and a romantic storm, wildness – and above all unbridled fun,” states the Abendzeitung München newspaper. <p

“Aggressive and tender, hard and elegiac, cheerful and full of blues, dirty and crystal clear – Pixner’s music can contain all nuances, all tonal colours,” writes the Mainpost. “So much technical sophistication, so much dynamic density with a constantly changing variety of expression, so much controlled, yet soulful musicality – this kind of thing convinces the audience and simply makes any genre arrogance seem obsolete,” the Augsburger Allgemeine is certain. Herbert Pixner’s music is free, untamed, sometimes cool and reserved, sometimes so passionately demanding that you almost forget that there are only four people on stage live.

This is what music can sound like in a world where boundaries cannot be clearly drawn. In which some things may not fit at first glance and yet at second glance everything somehow belongs together. Together in the middle of it all. Just like at SEPP.

If you can’t get enough of the extraordinary sounds of Herbert Pixner, simply take the good old vinyl or a CD from the SEPP shop with you and dream a little more of the exSEPPtional sound of your holiday at home …
