Neon Dilemma

Three pioneers create a new sound by combining acoustic and electronic instruments. Elias Stemeseder might use trusted instruments such as piano and keyboard, but manages to conjure up unexpected sonic worlds from them. Providing these with depth and definition through their layered playing are bassist Robert Landfermann and percussionist Leif Berger, who perform with both acoustic and electronic instruments. Their debut album under the name Neon Dilemma was released by Cologne-based label Klaeng Records. Versatile Austrian musician Elias Stemeseder has played on our stage before, for example with the innovative drummers Jim Black and Christian Lillinger. Double bassist and bass guitarist Robert Landfermann from Cologne is a member of the renowned Pablo Held Trio and has collaborated with jazz legends such as Lee Konitz and John Scofield. Also based in Cologne, Leif Berger made name by releasing a variety of solo albums and mixtapes on the internet.
