传记
can be called a “PAINTER OF MUSICAL LANDSCAPES”, he is a composer, musician and producer of meanwhile numerous album releases. His name originated from J.R.R.TOLKIEN´s cult-epic “THE LORD OF THE RINGS”.
GANDALF plays a great variety of instruments (acoustic and electric guitars, sitar, saz, charango, bouzuki, balaphon, piano, synthesizers & sample-keyboards and various percussion) and blends acoustic with electronic and spheric sounds, weaves folk-elements into symphonic structures, creating his unmistakable unique style that made him become one of todays internationally most successful Austrian musicians.
The goal of this multi-sided musician is, to dissolve the boundaries between musical categories and styles and to create a cross-cultural global music. On his journeys through Europe, North and South America and Asia he came in touch with most different cultures and found out, that there are more things that unite than seperate the folks on this planet.
Similar to symphonic music from the past, GANDALF´s music tells us stories, describes certain moods and magical moments (in American magazines it has been named “21st CENTURY CLASSICAL MUSIC”).
At the beginning of the eighties GANDALF was with his albums JOURNEY TO AN IMAGINARY LAND and VISIONS one of the pioneers of a new musical direction that was hard to categorize. Later on it was described as NEW AGE MUSIC or CONTEMPORARY INSTRUMENTAL and nowadays it develops more and more into a NEW WORLD-MUSIC, but no category ever really applied to GANDALF´s music.
