As “Wanderer zwischen den Welten” the drummer Dimitri Monstein unites in his program Landscape those two musical directions that influenced him most during his artistic career. The boundaries of the genres blur and dissolve, elements of jazz and classical music meet and merge. The drums, which are at the center of the performance, play a dual role here. So it is not only a solo instrument of the program, but also serves as a rhythmic link between the members of the ensemble, whose occupation reflects the extraordinary combination of different musical directions. Glockenspiel, marimbaphone and bass, percussion and string quartet, piano and synthesizer meet in Monsteins own compositions and create together in the interplay of individual, seemingly spherical sound worlds, which are often reminiscent of film music through their wealth of images and associations.
