Helmut Neugebauer's YELPER 'Subkutan' (A)

Helmut Neugebauer: flute, alto saxophone, electronics

We start the live stream approx. 1/2 hour before the concert begins (real time, no longer available after the end of the concert). By clicking on "Go to livestream" a window will open where you can watch the concert free of charge and without any registration. However, we kindly ask you to support this project via "Pay as you wish". Thank you & welcome to the real & virtual club!

Abstract storytelling through an analog/digital dialogue from Viennese avant-garde multi-instrumentalist, composer and electronic manipulator Helmut Neugebauer (flute/sax). “Real-time” control technologies, drum’n’bass flavoured beats together with jazzy improvisations create a touching, surprising and grooving state-of-the-art atmosphere.
Helmut Neugebauer has long moved between jazz, pop and electronics. With his project “Vögel Europas” he anticipated many aspects that would determine the course of music in the no-man's land between jazz, pop and electronic music from the nineties until now. He worked for film and theater and has increased his teaching activities in recent years. He lives in Vienna and Lower Austria. (press release)

The Yelper-Projekt
The best of both worlds:
In a feedback loop, the analog (sax, flute, piano) influences the development on the digital level (audio inputs, pre-produced material, field recordings) and the results in turn determine the progress of the instrumental playing. Various “real-time” control technologies (capture audio, midi controllers, etc.) in combination with a new generation of computers allow the two worlds to interact with almost no latency. Each track works according to its own rules, which in turn depend on the source material.

“Yelper - the screamer, could also be verified as a nice analogy to Bernhard's linguistic diction - exclaimed by the Viennese flautist/saxophonist Helmut Neugebauer. Anecdotes in floating 'time-motion', chilling for philosophical brains, 'dance floor' for intelligent legs, out to lounge." (Hannes Schweiger, Concerto)
