About Me

live-vibes from Linz/Austria Nov. 29th 2007
supporting world-class guitarist Tommy Emmanuel

Der aus Österreich stammende Gitarrist Alex Kabasser hat mit seinen vierundzwanzig Jahren schon einiges „durchgemacht“ auf der Gitarre. Ursprünglich wie magisch angezogen von klirrenden E-Gitarren geht es nach der intensiven Musikschulzeit der jungen Jahre über das Konservatorium für Jazz-Gitarre/Klagenfurt geradewegs nach Graz, wo die Liebe zur klassischen Musik entfacht. In den darauffolgenden Jahren entsteht eine Vielzahl an einzigartigen Kompositionen, die ihresgleichen suchen. In ständiger Bewegung zwischen Rhythmus und Emotion, Spielfreude und Eleganz belebt das aktuelle Projekt nicht nur das eine oder andere im „fingerstyle“ aufpolierte Stück aus der Barockzeit, es verspricht zudem den Zuhörer auf seine Art und Weise in Trance zu versetzen um ihn im nächsten Moment mit voller Wucht wieder ganz hervor zu holen. ziemlich garantiert! 24-years old Austrian guitarist Alex Kabasser can look back on a prolific career with his guitar. In the beginning he fell under the spell of the electric guitar and after attending different music schools like the conservatoire for jazz guitar in Klagenfurt he moved to Graz, where he got into classical music. In the following years he produces a variety of unique compositions. In his current project a constant shift between rhythm, emotion, enthusiasm and elegance revives a great many baroque tunes by submitting them to this "fingerstyle". It furthermore promises the listeners to put them into a trance just to make them swing back again into full consciousness, which is always guaranteed!
