15 8 SLUM en/de
"Complex,
challenging but totally affecting."
The state51 Conspiracy
15 8 SLUM is the title of Rudi Fischerlehner's debut drum solo album, released on Not Applicable. A note about a rhythm in 15/8 lying side by side with Rene Pollesch's book "www-slums" next to his drumkit lead to the slightly dadaistic title, which seemed appropriate to describe the extremes in Fischerlehner's music: polyrhythmic layers and constructions on one hand and textural sounds and noise on the other hand. It ́s complex and abstract - and goes to the core instantly.
The album was featured in radio Ö1 Zeit-Ton, SWR Sonic Wilderness and BBC Late Junction, live concerts took place at Ackerstadtpalast Berlin (presented by amStart), Strenge Kammer at Porgy&Bess Vienna, Grill X Vienna (presented by "Der blöde dritte Mittwoch"), Interpenetrations Graz, Solo Impro Festival Berlin and many more.

"15
8 Slum is a journey into sound. Highly enjoyable. Not only for
drummers."
Martin Schray, Freejazzblog
"Wondrous,
great and sensitive solo work."
Marlene Schnedl, Radio Ö1, Zeit-Ton
"True freedom reigns, and personality surfaces. There´s a wealth
of great sounds. This is not only for drummers or
improv-purists, this is an unagitated, beautiful and all around
successful record."
Simon Camatta, freiStil
"The titles of 15 8 SLUM are not only an opportunity to admire
the percussion work of this Austrian musician. Each of the six
pieces is a carefully constructed composition with a specific
athmospere and dramaturgy."
Robert Ratajczak, Longplay
