Hannes Buder is a cellist, guitarist, and composer. He feels connected to the artists of the Art Brut, Abstract Expressionism and Minimal Music. “If I could make music the way Mark Rothko painted, I would be a happy man.“ He develops his own compositions and sounds utilising the cello, electric guitar and his voice. He feels related to outsider artists who create not within the confines of genre but following their own necessity of expression. His last solo albums were ‘changes II’ (2015 on Umlaut Records) and ‘outside words’ (2021 on Laaps Records). For over 20 years, Buder has regularily collaborated with dancers and theater ensembles, which is strongly reflected in the physicality of his playing. The album „Your Dramatic Joy“ appeared in 2023 in collaboration with Ernesto Rodrigues and others. “Wonderfully balanced sound-art, versatile, lively and uncompromising in its musical character.” (Süddeutsche Zeitung) „All the pieces are extremely fluid, unfolding their own well measured minimalism in instinctive constructions, which are clothed in austere Gothic traits, flowery Renaissance harmonies and deconstructions of an instinctive improvisation, which sublimates in a nervous and elegiac post-modernity, crowned by a pulsating, deeply human chorality.“ (Music won’t save you, January 2022)
