Konzert
Hannes Buder’s solo guitar work is an exciting, evocative journey through undreamed of musical
worlds. Influenced by contemporary and classical music, rock and avantgarde jazz, the Berlin
based guitarist and composer experiments with the varied sound potential of the guitar to create
a music that ranges from ecstatic ferocity to fragile beauty. His style is unmistakable and his
compositions dazzle with sentiment and authenticity.
Buder studied music in Dresden and has released four solo albums. He performs in Europe and
the United States, both solo and with a variety of bands.
"… wonderfully balanced sound-art, versatile, lively and uncompromising in its musical
character."
(Süddeutsche Zeitung)
"... a musical firework, virtuous, rich in variety and profoundly emotional."
(Badische Zeitung)
"His music is one of the most authentic I ever experienced."
(Ronny Waleska)
"Sometimes his playing is very beautiful, sometimes the opposite, always very intriguing
and entertaining with a large spectrum of emotion in it from fun to hardcore serious."
(Gearóid Ua Laoghaire)
