Web: https://acfny.org/“Birds against Hurricanes” is a very special body of sound, diving into world/folk music and more with the voices of guitars/baritone guitar/ukulele, piano, and accordion.
The Austrian musicians Alex Pinter, Viola Hammer, and Christian Bakanic complement each other in a symbiotic way, giving space where needed and filling the void musically tasteful. A blend of original music, folk songs, and even a slight taste of the Great American Songbook lead to an experience with a special flavor to it, given the uncommon setting of the trio.
Consisting of 3 harmonic instruments without drums, bass, or horns, a unique body of sound is created, which presents its challenges for the players as well as the composer and arranger, everybody has to play rhythm, melody, accompaniment, and improvisation in equal parts. The sound of the trio is characterized by strong melodies, and the awareness of space, to give the sound the room that is needed. “Birds against Hurricanes” have performed on national and international stages and continue to do so. A new album is currently being planned!
