On June 19, guitarist Vincent Babl will present his album Cordata. The tools of his trade: acoustic guitar, harp guitar and his wildly wired pedalboard, affectionately known as "The Brain", which enables micro loops, echoes, freezes and many other effects. Vincent uses these instruments to unfold his music: it grows before the eyes and ears of the audience. A single, warm, woody guitar note is sent into the stone vault, remains floating there, is joined by a filigree fingerstyle line and condenses layer by layer into a breathing, expansive soundscape.
St. Wolfgang's Crypt is regarded as a major work of Romanesque architecture in Bavaria and, with the tomb of St. Wolfgang, is one of the most important places in the former monastery grounds of St. Emmeram, where time seems to stand still and the crypt has exuded an incomparable, dense calm for almost a thousand years. The semicircular wall niches and the old stone vaults not only create a mystical appearance, but also create acoustics that gently embrace and carry every single note. What is heard here is heard differently. Not bigger - but closer.
