Ensemble-NAM Vienna From primeval times on the fertile regions of the Danube have always been a melting pot of different cultures. As a rich environment and living space for many ancestors: Celts, Germans, Romans and many more the central heart of Europe remains up until today as an intermediary between East and West. While in Europe of Medieval times epics as the Song of the Nibelungs emerged and drone music has been in full bloom, even in other parts of the world epics and ballads have been recited and the people contacted the otherworld by using ancient instruments and sounds rich in overtones: The Australian aborigines played Didgeridoo, die Siberian shamans played jew´s harp and the indigenous people of Africa played mouth bow. Following these roots & traditions the Ensemble NAM cross-culturally fuses ancient instruments with an old-european and old-oriental song treasury, modern soundscapes and visionary lyrics to an epic, powerful and atmospheric music reflecting in the mirror of Now...
