Classical Music / Ambient / Electronic / Improvisation
Classical Music, ambient, electronic, improvisation and jazz are by no means mutually exclusive. In fact, they correlate and inspire each other beautifully and form a rich source of inspiration for independent interpretations and compositions.

PROJECTS

Improvisation / Ambient / Electronic / Classical Music
Everything unfolds live.
Nothing is predetermined; each turn is a suggestion, each sonic trace a shared step into the unknown.
The result is a sound world in which past and present intersect—transparent, open, and rooted in a musical language that seamlessly brings together ambient sounds with improvisational freedom and classical clarity.

European Jazz / Improvisation / Electronics
Owls is one of Austria’s most distinctive jazz piano trios. Celebrated for their cinematic, genre-defying sound, they blend European jazz tradition with classical sensitivity, electronic textures, and pop-infused clarity — all shaped by a deep commitment to sonic aesthetics and atmospheric storytelling. Their performances are immersive, multidimensional journeys: poetic yet precise, serene yet charged with energy and rich in imagination.
-
Renaissance Vocal Music / Visual Performance / Improvisation / European Jazz
Shining lights among composers, such as Johannes Ockeghem, Josquin de Prez and Gilles Binchois, throw long shadows up to the present day. New perspectives, connections and experiences are created by the meeting of their groundbreaking vocal works with improvised music composed in our time. Music by Johannes Ockeghem, Josquin de Prez, Gilles Binchois, Guillaume de Machaut and Simon Oberleitner.
-
Romantic Vocal Music / Visual Performance / Improvisation
The great motets as a spiritual map: The Chorus Sine Nomine, Simon Oberleitner and Hanne Pilgrim wander through Bruckner's choral music in space and time, searching for the center that brings us together as people and as a community.
-
Crossover / Strings Quartet / Literature / Contemporary Jazz
"All the world is a stage!" (quote: W. Shakespeare)
In “Under the Greenwood Tree” Simon Oberleitner explores the reality in the invisible and dreams in the visible - a collection of stories about fantasy and drama in our human form of existence.

Speech & Recitation / New Music / Avantgarde Jazz
Drummer and composer Konstantin Kräutler-Horváth runs a project that focuses on rhythm and melody in spoken words and transforms them into instrumental pieces.
