Co-founder of the now legendary techno label Krakatau Records, German composer Alex Stolze moves effortlessly between the modern classical and electronic worlds with new album ‘Outermost Edge’. Performing with his unique, custom-made five-string electro-acoustic violin, Alex works in musical distinctions, merging violin-based-textures with electronic beat-and-noise production.Alex recently released music under the title Solo Collective, a new ensemble comprised of Anne Müller (cello), British pianist and producer Sebastian Reynolds and Alex on violin. Conceptually, the trio present themselves as a rotating cast of three soloists who take turns in the spotlight, with the other two providing supporting roles. The three then made their debut performances at sold out concerts in Berlin and Hannover in February 2017, and released ‘Solo Collective Part One’ on Nonostar Records in November.
With further solo shows planned across Europe (including the UK) in 2018, it seems like now is a good time for such a virtuosic talent to share the fruit of his years of experimenting with the wider world.
