It starts with an inconspicuous rattle, a rhythm or a lonely, never ending tone. It chirps, it groovs, it rustles, you listen and suddenly the unexpected: where does this second melody suddenly come from?Flutist ventriloquy: He sings and plays at the same time and breathes so rarely that it makes you dizzy. In his solo improvisations, Tilmann Dehnhard creates small universes that tell of the breath and breathlessness, which float and float. Is this all meant to be one? But, it really works: he is a bizarre one-man orchestra, the Berliner with his flute.
