The sisters
Astrid Lang and Ingrid Lang founded the duo Shockwave
Riders in 2001.
The joining of the two multi-instrumentalists and exceptional
singers brought forth a very fruitful cooperation and
they turned more and more towards a rather avant-garde
kind of folk music.
The superb harmony singing, the delicate and refined
arrangements with the perfect blend of guitar and keyboards
created a world of sound sometimes powerful, sometimes
lyrical and elegiac. With their dinstinctive symbiosis
of folky songwriting and modern sound worlds they aroused
- so the Folkworld - “abstract pictures of wild
beauty and noble elegance".
Subsequently they released 5 CDs which received excellent
reviews. Extensive airplay and concerts in Germany,
Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg and Switzerland
followed.
From 2009 - inspired by the travelling they did on tour
- the Shockwave Riders took a growing interest with
the european folk music tradition and its roots, that
partially reach far back. The beauty of the songs they
got acquainted with on the journeys through Europe deeply
impressed the sisters who have always had a penchant
for beautiful melodies. The wish to incorporate these
wonderful pieces of folk music into their repertoire
was born.
With „Music from the edges of Europe“ they
present the essence of this musical journey of discovery:
traditional highlights of the european folk music tradition
- from Galicia (Spain), France, Macedonia and many other
countries - blended perfectly with new own songs to
a shimmering musical cosmos. |
