Elfi Aichinger presents the 2nd album with her ensemble CORE, recorded by Werner Angerer at Wavegarden Studio. CORE II will be released on Alessa Records! "The pieces refer to current events, which naturally touch and move me. Longing is my driving force as a composer. Core is the core and that's what I look for in every composition, I have to dig, often deep. Lightness and humor also need this core in order not to be superficial. "

Trick, Grace, Red Liquid, Violent, Silk Gloves, Klage, Leih den Tagen Flügel..., Vakuum, Clearing, Will lightness appear? In these works, the grandiose musicians create a very special synthesis of composition and improvisation.

Christoph Cech in an interview about Elfi Aichinger:
"Elfi's works do not follow any norm, not even a self-imposed norm. They are therefore always experimental in every case. The musical text speaks an emotional language paired with the tonal quality of her voice. This is unbelievable, a unique characteristic and not transferable to others. She also improvises her touching and clear texts in through-composed moods with a non-verbal use of voice. This never comes across as uncontrolled, but is totally free and unique. This kind of language conveys and enables an additional level, emotionality is transformed into sound." (Press release)
