Christoph Pepe Auer

Sound cosmos between jazz, pop and electronic music
Christoph Pepe Auer is considered one of the most interesting Austrian Jazz musicians. However, the clarinetist, who's been a member of Jazz Big Band Graz and the Vienna Art Orchestra and continues to play in duo with Manu Delago, (among others), can hardly be titled with " Jazz" alone. For at least 15 years he has been on a journey that leads him to ever new sounds and sound combinations. In doing so, he cleverly wanders between jazz, pop and electronic music, uses whatever comes his way, finds, invents and tries out. This can be a marble game, which he has developed and perfected into a "Pepephon" in years of tinkering. Musical instruments for children that come to new, unexpected glory on stage. Programmed Sounds. Auer's latest instrument is a contrabass clarinet, which, in addition to his range of woodwind instruments, provides a warm, archaic, deep color on stage, reminiscent of Film Noir scenes from the fifties.
