About

MOLECULAR VIBRATIONS, a young and exceptional project, led by German-Romanian violinist Frederika Krier, is hitting town, breaking fresh ground in composition and musical execution, creating lucent sounds for the present. Own compositions characterize the special sound of the band. The influences and categorisations seem to be full of opposites. Jazz, groove, free, minimalism, world music and new classical music melt together to an organic whole and actual contradictions connect with the greatest of ease. African rhythms build a synthesis with indian scales, composition techniques of Arnold Schoenberg and drum&bass grooves. But most important is always the creation in the moment, improvisation and personality of each single musician forming something new. This band fascinates with a unique mixture of clear, intellectually formed often minimalistic compositions full of emotional depth, a supreme rhythmic complexity and an unbrakeable joy of playing. By the awake and interactive interplay of the five talented musicians there are created intensive lyrical, energyloaded and explosive improvisations and textures. All these are the characteristic features of this unusual and unique band that excites and convinces a growing audience. (www.myspace.com/frederikakrier)...
