FAUN - medieval music & more
About Me:
 
FAUN combines ancient instruments with modern influences to create an enchanting and powerful atmosphere.

The band's performances incorporates with up to three voices chant and employs many different instruments. For example: Celtic harp, nyckelharpa, various lyres, bagpipes, large Japanese taiko drums, cister, Pagan zither, flutes and even Arabic instruments like dombra, rebab, riq, oud, darabukka and bendir.

Influences of Celtic folk, medieval music and Arabic rhythmic tones fusing with driving beats draws an ever fast growing crowd of followers.

The ensemble FAUN was founded in early 2002 in Munich and has performed at more than 450 locations, festivals, concert halls and churches throughout Europe, including: Mèra Luna Festival (Germany), Elf Fantasy Fair (Netherlands), Wave Gotik Treffen (Germany), Fiesta Celtica Biella (Italy),Folkwoods Folkfestival (Netherlands), Arena van Vletingen (Belgium), Locomotive (Paris/France), Savari Karn..Hungary), Palladius/Barcelona (Spain), Estragon (Italy) and many more...

Since March of 08 Faun is performing with the new band member:
Sandra Elflein (vocals, violin, hurdy-gurdy, flutes).

In 2004 FAUN started working together with a theatre and stage musician Niel Mitra (Sampler, Workstation and Synthesizer).
Since then FAUN mostly performs together with Niel Mitra on amplified stages.
Ocassionally when requested, a set of medieval acoustic music (unplugged) is offered.

I've received and listened to the album. Wow.
Great work. I thank you, Oliver and the rest of the group. I must thank you for creating and playing such beautiful, wonderful an magical music. This kind of music, to me, worth much more than any treasure, to me this is true treasure.
Very nice vocals, as always.
Schönes Lied "Sigurdlied", "Tanz über die Brücke", "Nahtegal" und "Jahrtausendalt". Wirklich super schön. Ich höre gern alles aber dieses sind mein Lieblingslieder. Bare with me in my German..I'm still learning. Hope to see you in the next Hayner Burgfest. Thanks from Portugal. Good luck with your Acoustic Tour.
