About Me

It's not always the easiest thing to describe music and, even harder, music that you have composed yourself. It comes from within you - you become one with the music. And it now becomes more difficult if people come together and create an original sound . Fosbury Flop's influence is represented by various styles of music, for example Hip Hop, Funk, Rock and Pop, groovy Off-Beats based on intense melodies. We want to represent the name Fosbury Flop in the best way possible, meaning, we are mastering our high jump with a soft landing. Therefore a convincing performance as well as the creation of an easy-going sound with the ensemble playing of 6 young creative people is more than essential.
short description of Fosbury Flop:
Fosbury Flop, with its alternative Hip Hop lyrical style (Shane Christensen from San Francisco California) mixed with the smooth groove vocals (Anja Engel) was established in the beautiful town called Potsdam. The mix consisting of funky Bass (Karina Piersig) and foot tapping Drumbeats (Robert Saling), becomes a melange of harmony with both conventional and synthetic keyboard sounds (Tobias Thiele) and clean, straight Electric Guitar(André Giese). The fun factor definitely is based on the stylistic variation in the music. There is a constantly fresh wind coming from the speakers and shows a steady inspiration from Jazz, Orient, Blues, Latin, Folk and Off-Beat Sounds.
Es ist nicht immer einfach sich selbst zu beschreiben ... und gerade Musik, die man selbst verfasst, steht dem nichts nach. Sie entspringt aus dem Innern, aus einem selbst heraus, man " ist " praktisch die Musik. Ein vielfaches schwieriger wird es nun, wenn sich sechs Individuen zusammen tun und ein gemeinsames Unikum schaffen, welches auch nur in dieser Form hätte entstehen können. Man kann sich nun in einer üblichen Weise der tongewordenden Idee FOSBURY FLOP nähern und beschreiben, dass vielfältige Musikstile Einfluss gefunden haben, wie zbs.: HIP HOP, FUNK, ROCK und POP, groovige Offbeats auf eingängige Melodien ... und trotzdem ist es mehr, was aus den Boxen dringt. Im wesentlichen will FOSBURY FLOP seinem Namen gerecht werden und locker flockig über eine hoch gesteckte Latte springen. Es gilt also durch Performanz zu überzeugen und über das Zusammenspiel sechs ideenreicher Menschen einen locker flockigen Sound zu kreieren, der seines Gleichen sucht.
