The bass clarinetist, saxophonist and percussionist Christoph Pepeauer celebrated with his latest release Songs I Like through his success in his home country Austria as well as soloist of the Jazz Big Band Graz and Living Room, his duo with Manu Delago. Electronic elements, coupled with multi-instrumentality - a surprise chasing the next on Songs I Like. As a self-invented pepephoner, a christoph-peuer-auer_ingo-pertraiser, a lot of toys, which is used to create completely new sound worlds, meet a very impressive collection of woodwind instruments : It is above all the background noise, which make its sound so special. Percussive and empathetic, he lets the listener participate in the exhaustion of the 100% sound of his instrument. For this, Auer has already received three awards with the Austrian Hans Koller Prize. The result Songs I Like is a mixture of jazz, world music and electronics. Some of their own pieces, some of them cover, but even the connoisseur must listen carefully to make the original. A Nirvana Superhit has made it onto the record, borrowing a pop pop song, responsible for the Prince and a section of Schubert's winter journey. Sounds like a crazy mix, it is. But as round as a concept album can only be. Soft, delicate, deliberate and sensual, he draws the audience into his spell. And suddenly you get caught as you want to hear the extreme interpretation of a 90s dance hit again and again
