The long-standing musical collaboration between Austrian multi-instrumentalist Herbert Könighofer and renowned Indian musicians Dr. Pandit Ranajit Sengupta (sarode) and Kousik Banerjee (tablas) impressively blends diverse sound worlds. Classical Indian music, European jazz, world music, and free improvisation merge into a unique concert experience. With instruments like the slide saxophone, sarode, and tablas, atmospheric and meditative soundscapes are created.

Herbert Könighofer: flutes, slide-sax, whistling, var. instruments
Hans Tschiritsch: overtone singing, oilbarrel-bass, var. funky instruments
Michael Irger – cornbass, Didgeridoo
Hans Tschiritsch is an instrument inventor and sound researcher. Fascinated by the phenomenon of overtones, he has been building his “Tschiritschophones” since the mid-1980s—musical instruments crafted with meticulous workmanship, bearing imaginative names such as Zwitscheridoo, Trompetuum Mobile, Oil Barrel Bass, or Hoarse Lung.
Together with Herbert Könighofer on the slide sax and many other instruments, and Michael Irger on cornbass and didgeridoo, he rolls out a fascinating sonic tapestry at the Lercherl von Hernals!
