Aron Szilagyi (HUN) and Markus Meurer (GER) performed together on a Jam at the annual Didgeridoo festival Israel 2006 with a beatboxer from Israel (Innon). They got a few hundred people dancing after seconds and decided to go on with this project. Aron asked the beatbox-master Dömé (HUN) to join them and thus the 3 members of AIRtist met in a studio in Kecskemét (HUN) in March 2007 (HUN) and recorded their first demosongs that will be released in May 2007. AIRtist plays handmade Goadancetrance upbeats. The idea behind this project is a modern way of playing three ancient "instruments" (jew's harp, didgeridoo and beatbox (voice)) without making use of any computer-effects, samples and loops. Every sound you will hear from AIRtist is handmade and organic and AIR.
"These three guys just went up on the stage with nothing that seemed to be an instrument. One of them had a big wooden stick -a didjeridoo- in his hand, the other held a little piece of iron between his teeth -probably a Jew's harp- and the third guy had nothing but his voice. But after the first seconds of their concert the audience experienced the most energyful, dancable, ancient party music ever. The whole crowd started dancing within a minute. The incredible sounds produced without any electronic equipment blew our mind and moved our body for the entire concert and after..." - Komlós István(music critic)Masthead Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com!
