Pablo Tarantino
pablotarantino.com
In his debut album ‘Charnia’ Pablo Tarantino transforms the influences of his many-sided cultural and musical background into Charnia. The album takes name after the extinct living organism which grew on the sea floor, 570 to 550 million years ago, and that encompasses the beauty of our life on Earth.
Ever since Pablo started his journey as a musician in his teenage years, first as a student of modern music in Valencia and Barcelona, later in his life as a performer in England, Scotland and Germany, he has been interested in translating the stories of the world that surrounds him into music. His interest revolves not only around the rhythm, but also in the stories, the melodies, the harmonies, and the textures of the sounds.

Berlin based pianist / keyboarder Volker Meitz is involved in several projects from Jazz to experimental or popular music. Due to his eclectic approach, Volker has always been hard to pigeon-hole to any one specific genre - but he actually likes it that way. Having started out composing chiptunes in the 8-bit computer scene, he went on to produce electronic club music incorporating jazz musicians in the 1990's, played in one of the first drum'n'bass live bands in Europe, was musical director of Sonar Kollektiv Orchester and recorded freely improvised, yet heavily processed music with Projekt Schwedt.
Today, his projects include SpaceKrautDubJazz band THE SHREDZ (w/ Eric Schaefer, John Dennis Renken, John Eckhardt), Free Imrov quartet KEMD (w/ Silke Eberhard, Almut Kühne, Yorgos Dimitriadis), SouljazzFusionStep combo GRAND COULOIR as well as duo and solo programs
