    Kleine Zeitung: „Auratisch: Zwei fünfte Männer“

    Otmar Klammer

    Concert review of Harry Pepl (tape) & The (Lonely) Single Swinger Band at the Austrian Soundcheck festival at Tube's in Graz, Austria (Tuesday, 13 November 2018). Clemens Salesny calls the band a quintet because Markus Wallner steers the playback from the mixing desk and laptop; the real fifth man, however, is Pepl, who “in a few days will already have been sorely missed for 13 years”. Salesny, Andi Schreiber (violin), Martin Bayer (guitar) and Valentin Duit (drums) take up Pepl's style; the band is at its strongest in the pieces built on Pepl's grooving ostinato bass figures.

    The real fifth man, who once composed this music in real time on countless instruments

    Otherwise the rule was: the smaller the format, the more Pepl.

    The real fifth man, who once composed this music in real time on countless instruments, will in a few days already have been sorely missed for 13 years.

    A multifaceted excursion through the Pepl cosmos.

    Press release launching the live project: Clemens Salesny, Martin Bayer, Andi Schreiber and Valentin Duit interact with previously unreleased recordings from Pepl's last creative period (1996 to 2005), which he had recorded instrument by instrument himself in his studio in Hernstein, Lower Austria; Markus Wallner handles sound and playback.
