About Me

En skør musikalsk skude der kaster los på balkan-inspireret tonesprog. Instrument-sammensætningen er helt hen i vejret og tæller blandt andet trombone, overtonefløjte, banjo, sømandsklaver, khaen (thailandsk ”bambus-mundorgel”), trompet og et ældgammelt tysk tenorhorn. Hovedparten af repertoiret er deres egne påfund; kendere vil dog bemærke at der til koncerter af og til sniger sig traditionelle - og stort set ukendte - numre ind, fra nær såvel som fjern...
Ein verrückter musikalischer Ableger, der auf Balkan inspirierte Tonsprache losgeht. Die Instrumentalbesetzung ist 'far out' mit unter Anderem: Posaune, Obertonflöte, Banjo, Schifferklavier, Khaen(Thailändische 'Bambusmundorgel'), Trompete und einem uralten deutschen Tenorhorn. Der Grossteil des Repertoires besteht aus eigenen Erfindungen. Kenner werden jedoch bemerken, dass sich bei Konzerten traditionelle und grosse unbekannte Rhythmen und Melodiefragmente einschleichen.
Eden lud muzikalen stav koj go raspustuva balkanskiot inspiriran tonski jazik. Otkaceniot instrumentalen sostav upotrebuva pomegu drugite i trombon, prizvucna flejta, bandzo, pomorski klavir, kaen (tajlandska usna harmonika od bambus), truba i starinska germanska tenorska truba. Glavniot del od repertoarot e sostaven od nivni izvedbi; megju toa poznavacite mozat da zabelezat deka na koncertite ponekogas se projavuvaat, kako tradicionalni taka i golem del nepoznati izvedbi od samoto podracje, a i od posiroko.
Gulliver Garden misses their good old friend DAVID LAYTON, alto sax player from NY. He moved to Switzerland some years ago... Recently we found this video on youtube, and it seems he is doing good;
