Sandman´s Calling
Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz - oud, gimbri, bass
Mathias Künzli - drums, percussion
Julian Sartorius - drums, percussion
Gregor Frei - clarinets, soprano
Sandman's Calling stands for the vastness of the deserts, their music and the calling to search for mirages in the dunes. Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz (oud, gimbri, bass), Mathias Künzli (drums, percussion) and Gregor Frei (clarinets, saxophone) are united by a long-standing friendship and the idea that music happens together and does not have to correspond to any genre. This is how they came up with compositions and recordings in 2019 that are influenced by Tom Waits as much as by Masada or Tamikrest. Ritual patterns, simple melodies and unexpected sounds draw a sand mandala that can transform into all shapes with the wind of improvisation.
