2791972 von WeinHara / 2791972 by WeinHara

(English below)

Es war ein langer, elaborierter Prozess, der auch noch durch so manch Unvorhergesehenes verlängert wurde, aber nun ist es so weit. Das Album „2791972“ von WeinHara, dem Musikprojekt des Wiener Künstlers Philipp Müller wird am 21.09.2022 weltweit auf Streaming- und Download-Plattformen veröffentlicht.

Ausgangspunkt für Songs wie „U-Bahn-Früh-Stück“  „Lorre“, oder „Gut Jagt Böse“ von WeinHara sind die Texte von P
hilipp Müller, die in Deutsch und Englisch verfasst sind und durchaus manchmal seine Wiener Herkunft hören lassen. Ironie, Symbolik und Wortspiel dienen dem Autor, die oft sehr ernsten Inhalte formulieren zu können. Ebenso ist ihm aber auch wichtig, den Horror unserer Zeit, so direkt wie möglich anzusprechen. Das Klangspektrum von WeinHara reicht von organisch rockend über funky bis hin zu elektronischen aber auch orchestralen und ätherischen Hörerlebnissen. In den Harmonien bewegt sich WeinHara eher durch dunkle Farben und bedient sich dafür gerne modaler Skalen. Dieses Gemenge schwelgt vorwiegend im Elegischen, wirkt aber auch tanzbar.

Philipp Müller produzierte das neun Stücke umspannende Album „2791972“, sein Geburtsdatum, vorwiegend in seinem eigenen Studio und bereits im Sommer 2012 entstanden die ersten Skizzen, als er beschloss so etwas wie ein Solo-Projekt zu starten, das sich von seinen vorherigen Projekten stark abheben soll. Bevor Müller WeinHara gründete, war er Sänger und Texter in Wiener Bands wie funkenflut und Sushi With Suzie und seine musikalische Karriere begann 1987 am Schlagzeug in mehreren kurzlebigen Bands. In der Produktion des Albums „2791972“ wurde Müller von Alec Whittier Corwin als Co-Komponist unterstützt, Anna Franziska Siglreithmeier spielte die Trompete ein für den Song „Hommage An Bartleby“ und Peter Zirbs gab dem Album den endgültigen Sound. 

Der Art-Pop von WeinHara wird durch Philipp Müllers Label Fair Art Pop Records vermarktet und unterstützt Amnesty International, Ärzte ohne Grenzen und Green Peace.

It was a long and elaborate process, extended by certain unforeseen events, but now the time is right. The album "2791972" by WeinHara, the musical project by Viennese artist Philipp Müller, will be released worldwide on September 21, 2022 on streaming and download services.

The starting point of songs such as "U-Bahn-Früh-Stück", "Lorre", or "Gut Jagt Böse" from WeinHara are Philipp Müller's lyrics, which are written in German and English and sometimes reveal his Viennese roots. With irony, symbolism and puns, the author is capable of formulating content often very seriously. But it is also important for him to speak as directly as possible about the horror of today. The sound spectrum of WeinHara varies from organic rocking to funky, electronic as well as orchestral and ethereal listening experiences. In the harmonies, WeinHara tends to move through dark colors and likes to use modal scales to do that. This blend revels primarily in elegiacis, but also seems to dance.

Philipp Müller produced the nine-track album "2791972", his date of birth, mainly in his own studio and the first sketches were done already in the summer of 2012, when he decided to start something like a solo project that should stand out strongly from his previous projects. Before Müller founded WeinHara, he was a singer and lyricist in Viennese bands such as funkenflut and Sushi With Suzie and his musical career began in 1987 with the drums in several short-lived bands. In the production of the album "2791972" Müller was supported by Alec Whittier Corwin as co-composer, Anna Franziska Siglreithmeier played the trumpet for the song "Hommage An Bartleby" and Peter Zirbs gave the album the final sound.

WeinHara's Art-Pop is marketed by Philipp Müller’s label Fair Art Pop Records and is a supporter of Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders and Green Peace.

25 musicians from 13 countries are constantly exploring new horizons of artistic creativity together with the most eminent composers of our time. 

Open-minded, virtuosic in performance and aurally perceptive, Klangforum Wien – one of the internationally most renowned ensembles for contemporary music – devotes itself to the artistic interpretation and expansion of experiential space.

A performance of Klangforum Wien is an event in the best sense of the word; it offers a sensual experience, immediate and inescapable; the novelty in its music speaks, acts and beguiles.

Ever since it was founded by Beat Furrer in 1985, the ensemble – which, over the years, has received a great number of awards and distinctions – has written music history:
It has presented around 600 world premieres, it boasts an extensive discography of more than 90 releases, appearing at the most prestigious concert halls, opera venues and at major music festivals.

Klangforum Wien has its own annual concert series at the Wiener Konzerthaus. Since 2009, the musicians have been sharing their comprehensive mastery of playing techniques and forms of expression with a new generation of artists in the context of their collective professorship at the University of Music, Graz.

The repertoire choice and the ensemble’s intense understanding of the compositions contribute to diversity, and are matched by the most excellent and joyful execution of the music.
