Lando van Herzog
A phenomenon
an entire piece of art?
The man, presently living in Cologne, Germany, has devoted himself to music, with full passion. He sings, plays the violin and writes his own songs.
For two years he was musical director of the WDR Talk-Show. His performances and records with the Django-Reinhard-Clan, with the great Counter-Tenor Andreas Scholl in the Federal Chancellery or at the UNO-Peace-Concert in Colombo (Sri Lanka) are the phases of his adventurous musical journey.
Lando sounds different: the voice and the violin. Now his new record (EP?) “upright†with 5 new songs, produced by Axel Breitung ( and others).
A fan: «You should not call this POP, call it Lando! You have created a new genre of music!» (Liam, 29, British Columbia, Canada)
But it is not just the music alone:
Lando is painting. His charcoal and chalk-drawings as well his oil paintings are exhibited in the virtual galleries of this world.
He is a video artist. His clips are shown world wide at the most important online symposiums. (Cannes Short Film Selection, Film Jam at Florida Music Festival and many more)
Lando is also a web designer and has created his own Twin Clon. His online creations are conquering the space. The viral “Lando- Epidemic†is spreading globally: In a short period of time (since February 2007) he gained thousands of supporters within the internet….
Lando is toughen his body with body building. Eccentric muscle power. Again and again photographers from all over Europe approach him to have a photo session with him. As body performer he is acts with the Parisian Fashion and Art model Dji Dieng.
Lando studied Music, Art and Philosophy. He is a thinker.
He just surface from nothingness – with his voice and his violin.
He came, and did not know, from where
He was and did know, who he was
He went and did not know, where to
Lando had searched. He experimented and learned. He believes what he is saying. He says what he believes in. That is what strengthens him for the upright walking.
