Rudi Fischerlehner´s solo music describes a musical and emotional landscape of polyrhythmic structures, abstract sound collages and aggressive drum patterns. A musical world inspired by influences from Haitian and Japanese music, musique concrète, free jazz, punk and new music. Non-musical interests strongly color the picture, exemplified by the films of Maya Deren, who, through her approach to editing and form, creates moods and in-between worlds, which are also striven for here in terms of sound.
Rudi released two solo albums, Spectral Nichts and 15
8 Slum, which were featured on radio stations as Ö1, SWR
and BBC.
Recent solo concerts: REM-Festival at Schwankhalle Bremen, Solo
Impro Festival Berlin, Echoraum Vienna, Hundred Year Gallery
London and many more.

challenging but totally affecting."

"...
one
of the most interesting drummers in the German-speaking area at
the moment."
Martin Schray, Freejazzblog
"Tempo-varying,
intricate sound events, arranged poinitillistically and
spatially, rhythmic overlays of varying density and
complexity, prismatic breaks in timbre."

"Wondrous,
great and sensitive solo work."
Marlene Schnedl, Radio Ö1, Zeit-Ton
"Each of the six pieces is a carefully constructed composition
with a specific athmospere and dramaturgy."
Robert Ratajczak, Longplay
"Bei
'Intuition Repeat' vereint er zwei für sein Tun wesentliche
Stichworte und tischt dazu seinen Formenreichtum auf, wischend
und wischelnd, ratschend, kratzend, knisternd."
