The Dreams of Nebuchadnezzar

Gerauschbiest—CCFM Pauline-Boutal Hall

I am so disappointed…

…that this show only lasted 45 minutes. I was so taken by this spectacle that I could have watched it all day.

Recently, I came upon a German folk, darkwave band called Faun and I instantly fell in love with them. A big part of it is the instruments, which deviates greatly from the ubiquitous bands, include appearances by the hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, cittern, nyckelharpa, and many others. As soon as entered the venue, I saw Gerauschbiest’s odd assortment of instruments and I was immediately intrigued. Then the fun started with a combination of ethereal music, moody visuals and transcendent movement.

Give me more!
