Early Life and Musical Beginnings

Walter Baco

Baco is an artist, active in several art movements. Living in Vienna, he works as a pianist, composer, author, creator of radio dramas, director and conducts a dance theatre company (Carousel Theater). He creates timeless art for savourers, beyond all fashions and styles. Baco has been composing since the age of five - yet hardly using music paper, he simply improvises. He gains inspiration out of every moment, living in and from the flow. During live-performances he often combines several art movements to one holistic experience. Besides commissional compositions for TV, film and stage he also realises cooperations with companies, the media, communities and institutions and is engaged in social and peace activities. Several times Baco has already been working as Artist in Residence and is invited to play concerts and guest performances on various official occasions.The artist has written several books and has released audio books as well as music CDs.

Martin Fabricius

Born: December 7, 1972

Martin Fabricius is a Danish vibraphonist and film composer. He graduated Suma Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music with a major in film scoring in 1996. While at Berklee, Martin studied the vibraphone with Ed Saindon and multi grammy award winner Gary Burton.

Building on the legacy of Gary Burton and his pianistic 4-mallet approach, Martin is considered a leading exponent of a new generation of vibraphone players, exploring the use of electronics, new repertoire and inventing new playing techniques in the quest of expanding the expressive possibilities of his instrument. Martin’s music has by many been described as calm, image invoking Nordic jazz. His trio albums has received international critical acclaim – including 5 of 5 star reviews in All About Jazz and JazzThetik and they have become one of the most played jazz bands on Danish National Radio. He has toured Europe, Asia, Africa and the U.S..

Light Star Guiding

I conceived this idea, which had been formulating for a considerable amount of time, as an opposition to all the acoustic projects I am currently often based in, and also as a return to my roots - when I started playing, my first group was a very electric, post punk noise-jazz kind of sounding outfit, and I wanted to return some way to this idea but with many more years of experience to draw upon. Composition and Improvisation are parallel in this group and they should both feed each into each other. The use of sustained rhythm as opposed to ��jazz�� drum patterns, with Bass forms backbone that everything else can hang on. Repetition and trance are as important as melody and harmony as are the use of extreme techniques from both electric guitar and saxophone, but, we never forget about the beauty of music and the ability of great music to transport both band and listeners, this is our primary goal hence our name ��Light Star Guiding��. Group members: Ray Dickaty: tenor saxophone; Miko?aj Poncyljusz: guitar; Staszek Czy?ewski: double bass; Dominik Mokrzewski: drums.
