HANNAH aka Hannah Thiem
HANNAH
is Hannah Thiem, a cinematic sonic bass producer/violinist. She blends folk songs and improvised instrumental/vocal music with cutting edge electronic sounds, counting Massive Attack, Phaeleh, Trentemøller, and Ólafur Arnalds as influences in crafting her sound. The resulting sonic palate takes listeners on “a kind of mystical journey” (PopMatters), whose destination is a crossroads between classical and contemporary, organic and man-made, familiar and mysterious.
HANNAH has shared the stage with numerous musical giants (The Rolling Stones, Kanye West, Bassnectar, MOBY, The National, EOTO) and appears on records by Irma Thomas (Simply Grand), Beats Antique, Random Rab, Ancient Astronauts, among others. With the June 2014 release of her debut solo album, BRYM, her ever-evolving sound (previously with Copal and Nyxyss) is now being channeled into a electronic ambient indie pop direction, forging new avenues for violin through her own unique articulation of evocative and cinematic electronic music combined with laptop and voice.

ASHIA & THE BISON ROUGE
war eine der Songbirds, die im März 2014 in die Christuskirche eingeflogen waren: Kabaresker Eigensinn, divaeske Frechheiten, slawische Sehnsuchtsmomente und verspielter Chanson. Gefühlsseelig und rotzig, Klassik und Indie, mit einer Stimme zwischen P.J. Harvey und der Callas.
In den USA gehört Ashia längst, wie Joanna Newsom, Regina Spector oder Amanda Palmer zu der inzwischen viel beachteten Liga junger KünstlerInnen, die auch durch die Verbindung klassischer Einflüsse mit Pop von sich Reden machen. Auch deshalb, weil sie u.a. mit dem Cirque De Soleil auftrat.
