About Me

"kakadu", meaning "cockatoo" in german, stands for Rain Forest, for Brazil, which was the main early influence in my musicmaking. As a name, "kakadu" stands for almost "too many a things": songwriter, guitarist and dj in one person. while You can hear dj kakadu playing music from Jazz, Latin, Brazil to Soul, Funk, Disco regularly in many different venues and Internet Radio (www.play-fm.net) in Vienna...

- as the songwriter kakadu i am now working on my latest project: the amalgamation of all these diverse influences (including indian raga singing and classical music) into a very individual approach of a kind of what i would call "visionary singer/songwriting" that should feature a distinct and unique kind of harmonies and atmospheres - also due to the fact it is played entirely on the acoustic 12Strg guitar, which aims for a fresh listening experience...go for the unheard!

ON THIS PROFILE you can hear "transglobal blues", featured on the PLAY FM MISCHPULT 2007 sampler and the first demo tracks i now simply record at home on my old 4 track casette recorder and will upload one by one, and an older studio demo.

- as the guitarist kakadu i studied jazzguitar at the conservatory and am playing anything from these styles to experimental, spaced out overdriven guitars for electronic tunes, always in pursuit of innovative yet catchy and characteristic melodies and hooklines. collaborations include various live- and studio projects such as "Mesiac", "Magnetic Drift", "Helium Grooves" by raybeat, the "On The Beach" Remix by Lorenzo Al Dino (7th District Records) for the sampler "On The Beach 2" and diverse Jazz- and Soul Formations,

- i also launched and hosted the club "CAFE LEOPARD" at the Cafe Leopold playing straight 60s/70s soul, funk, afro, brazil, latin and some groovy jazz records and featuring regular live guest appearances...

and for my latest club concept, "THE BIRD ROOM" , see the blog...a new songwriter club at the new Cafe Europa Lager including concert, session, DJ and live performances from other artists. maybe we can help the songwriter scene establish into a movement with wider club recognition...?
