Olaf Rupp plays Improvised Music on the acoustic and electric
guitar. The organic flow of his music is guided neither by chance
nor by dominant, willful decisions. To him the same level of focus
and attentive energy should be present in loud and fast music as
well as in softer, more subdued kind of playing. In all his music he
explores how motion-clusters can be perceived as one agglomerated
sound in motion by using spectralistic fields of tones.
Meinrad Kneer is a double bass player, composer, improviser,
band-leader and label owner. His music moves along the musical
boundaries of jazz, improvised, contemporary-composed and ethnic
music. He studied double bass and music in the Netherlands
(conservatories of Hilversum and Amsterdam), where he quickly
entered the Dutch jazz- and subsequently the international scene of
free improvisation.
Rudi Fischerlehner plays drums in various different musical
projects that fall between improvised and experimental music, jazz
and post-rock. He also composes and produces music for bands, film
and performances. Born in 1977 in Austria he was introduced to the
drums in his childhood and received lessons on drum kit and
classical percussion. As a teenager he starts to perform with bands
in and around Linz, then moves to Vienna, travels to Africa and
China, spends a few months in New York and now resides in Berlin.
Puna is the trio's first album as a group.
