Please join us on Monday, October 31, 2005 from 8-10pm at Slought Foundation for the Sound Field @ Slought series, featuring a live concert with "Helsinki Trio" with Viennese musicians Franz Hautzinger (trumpet), Burkhard Stangl (e-guitar), Werner Dafeldecker (bass and/or e-guitar), and special guest vocalist Didi Bruckmeyer.


Franz Hautzinger is a trumpet player and composer who is based in Vienna. He is widely known for a distinctive trumpet sound that is absent of any scale or common harmony, whether tonal or atonal, and is focused on air stream and breath. He has recorded and performed in concerts with a number of musicians including John Tilbury, Steve Lacy, Derek Bailey, and Radu Malfatti. His recordings include the solo Gomberg and a duo CD with guitarist Derek Bailey, both on the German Grob label. Hautzinger often works with Werner Dafeldecker, Martin Brandlmeyer (Radian), Steve Noble, Helge Hinteregger, Otomo Yoshihide, Sachiko M., Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Burkhard Stangl and Peter Herbert. He is a member of the Berlin-based new music ensemble Zeitkratzer, and directs the groups Dachte Musik and Das Regenorchester.

Burkhard Stangl is a Composer and Performer who is based in Vienna. He was the founder of the advanced jazz-ensemble ton.art (1985-1995), and the new music chamber ensemble Maxixe (1991). He is also a member of the experimental music group Polwechsel. He has performed and recorded with a wide variety of musicians including Sam Bennett, John Butcher, Tom Cora, Thomas Chapin, Eugene Chadbourne, Tony Coe, Gene Coleman, Werner Dafeldecker, Dieb 13, Kevin Drumm, Oswald Egger, Seppo Gruendler, Boris Hauf, Franz Hautzinger, Franz Koglmann, Christof Kurzmann, Steve Lacy, Radu Malfatti, Walter Malli, Ernesto Molinari, Donna Wager-Molinari, Michael Moser, Max Nagle, Sainkho Namtchyalk, Helmut Neugebauer, Olga Neuwirth, Josef Novotny, Polwechsel, Ned Rothenberg, Jim O'Rourke, Gunter Schneider, Martin Siewert, Taku Sugimoto, Tom Varner, Andrew Watts and others.
