Info for Human Faces

Sinfonia De Carnaval - that's Anna Lang and Alois Eberl on cello, trombone, accordion, percussion, electronics and voices.

The cello is bowed to percussively tapped. The trombone sung to hissingly breathed. In between beat boxing and pulsating stomp box. Plus virtuoso improvisations and ingenious arrangements. Sinfonia de Carnaval creates a unique sound: sinfonic art pop that knows no bounds!

Human Faces is the title of the new album by Sinfonia de Carnaval. The music is clear and distinct. “Human Faces” reads the depths of the faces of people and animals. Moments become sound portraits. Scenes of nature become sound paintings. The power and elemental force, but also the tenderness and vulnerability of nature inspired the award-winning duo to create new Sinfonia de Carnaval - sound stories. The colorful energy and expressiveness of painted art were clearly the inspiration here. The unique Sinfonia de Carnaval color palette is immersed generously, enjoyably and without limits. The sound fantasies of Anna Lang and Alois Eberl are sometimes packaged in brute orchestral epics or, quite simply, in intimate dialogues. “Two are a symphony!” (Radio Ö1)

Sinfonia De Carnaval

Sinfonia De Carnaval create a sonic universe out of the whole soundspectrum of their instruments, which is sometimes also mixed with electronic sounds.In their own compositions, such as “Sweeping Dragon” or “Man and rock”, the inner souls of hideous, beautiful, haunting, eerie, noisy, tender, loving, grumbling, dangerous, raging, good, bad, enchanting, wild or tragic figures are ignited.

In euphonious snap-shots as in “Totalen Nebelfinsternis” (EN: Total fog darkness), the “Windespfeifen in der Dämmerung” (EN: Windpipes at dawn) or the “African Suite”, the virtuoso duo inspires with a wide range of improvisations, racy grooves and wonderously ghastly dramatic.
