Regenorchester XII

Band, GB
Electronic, Jazz and Rock

Regenorchester (Rain Orchestra in English) is a long-running project of Franz Hautzinger, founded in London at the beginning of the 90s. Franz is the only permanent member of the band, and each sequential "version" of Regenorchester has a different line-up. In 2003 Regenorchester XI introduced the unusual new sound at Saalfelden festival in Austria, moving from quieter experimental soundscapes more towards intensive rock/jazz with melodies and groove. With the twelfth incarnation of the band, Hautzinger intensified this tendency even more. Regenorchester XII featured Otomo Yoshihide (turntables/guitar) and Christian Fennesz (guitar/ electronics) – the band performed at SWR2 NEWJazz Meeting 2006 festival.
