Hubl Greiner

Hubl Greiner

is a musical cross-border crosser who willingly leans over the abyss and sometimes even further. In addition to MU 無, FRIENDS IN THE GARDEN , THE GUERILLA BOPS , FRAU.BACH , Sequoia Mønstars , HULU PROJECT (with Luigi Archetti) and THE DJ HOERSPIEL ENSEMBLE (with the writer Franz Dobler), he is known as the former head of the German cult band THE BLECH , as well as as a producer of countless acts and projects. He has made a name for himself beyond the borders of Germany as an unconventional, innovative and experimental musician, composer and producer.

Inspired by the musical subculture outside the mainstream, he began playing drums and bass in the early 1970s. His influences can be traced back to Bavarian folk music, jazz, rock, punk, sound art and new music.

Meeting other musicians opened up new horizons for Hubl. What was particularly formative were the encounters with the jazz and avant-garde musicians from the European rock in opposition, Canterbury scene, the musicians of the independent musician network “Schneeball”, Yoruba drummers from Nigeria, North American Indians (Navajos, Northern Tutchones, Lakotas, Cherokees and O'odhams), musicians from the Asian culture, underground musicians from the former Eastern Bloc, hip hop artists from France, the unique Iva Bittová, the Sudanese Sufi Mohamed Badawi, the legendary South Indian Tavil master Paramashivam Pillai and the equally legendary shamanistic singer Stepanida Borisova from Siberia.

Hubl receives international awards and tours as a musician through Western and Eastern Europe, North and South America, Canada, Japan, Sakha/Siberia, Russia, Sudan, Egypt, Lebanon, Cuba, Iceland, Estonia. He is involved in around 65 CDs as a musician, composer and producer and has published over 80 reports, portraits and documentaries as a director. As a musician, he was invited to the “documenta” in Kassel twice.
