Details:
Airtist is a unique music project that creates the atmosphere of electronic dance music with ancient instruments and human voice. The Didgeridoo, the Jew's harp and the human beatbox together create an unmatchable soundworld that is so typical to Airtist. The band don't use any electronically produced sound. Only the natural vibration of their instruments is what makes people dance. This music could have been played thousands of years ago the same way.

"These three guys just went up on the stage with nothing that seemed to be an instrument. One of them had a big wooden stick -a didjeridoo- in his hand, the other held a little piece of iron between his teeth -probably a Jew's harp- and the third guy had nothing but his voice. But after the first seconds of their concert the audience experienced the most energyful, dancable, ancient party music ever. The whole crowd started dancing within a minute. The incredible sounds produced without any electronic equipment blew our mind and moved our body for the entire concert and after..." - Komlós István

Airtist is a result of fortunate encounters of three musicians. In a magical moment at the Israeli Didgeridoo Festival Markus Meurer didgeridoo player and Áron Szilágyi Jewâs harpist performed together with the beatboxer Inon in 2006. All of a sudden an emotional and acoustic storm dragged more than a thousand people to dance. This had to be carried on, so Markus and Áron kept their eyes and ears open to find a great beatboxer in Europe to join them. A few months later Áron met the perfect third, Döme the virtuoso beatbox champion who was eager to join the guys and make Airtist complete.

Döme: Human beatbox

"Our aim is to make the most elementary dance music with the most ancient instruments using the oldest element: air. We make music that sounds electronic, although it could have been played the same way thousands of years ago, too. No samples, no computers, no loops, only human voice, didgeridoo, Jewâs harp and air."

ABOUT THE CD:
irtist's new album, Wireless is a unique recording that creates the atmosphere of electronic dance music with Jew's harp, didgeridoo and human voice (beatbox). As its title refers, there are no electronically produced sounds in the recording, only the natural vibrations of the instruments can be heard in such form that is absolutely unique, despite this music could have been played thousands of years ago, too.

The 55 min long CD comes in a nice digipak case. Both the urban hippies keen on tribal rhythms (Congo Catapult) and drum and bass addicted bartenders (Sphereology) can find something for their taste while the musical roots of Australian indigenous people or the Yakut shamans are also palpable all along the recording. Each track visualizes the pictures of wonderlands (Light Soul Dance) or the bitter real world (Off the Bridge) in the listener's mind. The three virtuoso musicians have recorded the most energetic and multifarious dancemusic album in a unique style.
