airman is the electro pop solo project with an innovative show by Stefan Vallbracht from Cologne, Germany.
airman delivers a straight palette of different electronic variations: You will hear SynthPop, Avantgarde, Big Beat, Trance and also driving Trip-Hop elements. But that doesn’t means Stefan Vallbracht hasn’t a central theme. All elements joining to a sound collage – sometimes with vocals – in an intelligent way.
Stefan Vallbracht, the mastermind of airman, doesn’t avoid inconvenience: Some songs are having very vanguard arrangements. The listener is diving into and dealing with the song. The manifold used sounds are taking the hearer to a journey through time and space – but never without a necessary dash of humour.
The songs are unmistakable influenced by Jean-Michel Jarre, Enigma, Yello, Kraftwerk, Propellerheads and by the dark wave music of the 80s like Depeche Mode or Camouflage.
But no doubt, Vallbracht goes a step beyond, is liberating from fixed patterns and blinders of electronic genres and is comparable with hard to classify pioneers like Art of Noise, Björk or unique concepts like Welle: Erdball.
You can call this for sure ‘ElektroTranceSynthPop 2.0’.
airman is also a live event which is, because supported by video, lighting and theatre elements, an extraordinary multimedia stage performance.
On stage airman is performing in example uncommon instruments like a laser harp, rose piano (with real roses), wind controller, music glove (data glove), wii mote, computer keyboard but also show elements like ‘Birdh’ – the bird man, video and laser projections and a remote controlled virtual, tibetian monk.
The duration of the show is currently 90 minutes.
