Elbtonal Percussion

Plays Stewart Copeland

ElbtonalPercussion. The band was founded almost a decade ago by four drummers - true rhythmatists who brought their individual biographic backgrounds in film music, pop production, teaching and - naturally - drumming into this joint project. In Elbtonal drums play the leading role; a division of labour that is perfectly natural in other cultures, but which is the exception here, apart from New Music. All other instruments are featured as supporting instruments or explicitly as guest instruments. Following ElbtonalPercussion's highly acclaimed collaboration with Stewart Copeland for the spectacular live show Ben Hur, the band has devoted their sixth album, ElbtonalPercussion plays Stewart Copeland, in its entirety to the man and his music. the four musicians have chosen a representative selection of Copeland's different works and periods as the source of inspiration for the pieces featured on this album; the tracks range from rhythmically complex Police hits, such as Contact, to his soundtrack compositions for Wall Street and Rumble Fish, from the Rhythmatist album to the compositions for ensemble musicians featured on Orchestralli. The songs Dog Dreams and Dance Ants were specially written by Stewart Copeland for ElbtonalPercussion and were premiered at the Tromp-Percussion Festival in Eindhoven. The ensemble's expressive spectrum ranges from thumping, driving, floor-friendly numbers (Tulsa Tango, The Mud Lions) to the most delicate sound collages (Wallstret, Regret). And in every single piece the drums - with their incredible colours and facet, act as the beating heart of the music. An exciting project that sits squarely between orchestral and popular music!
