"Silence is my canvas no. 2" moves simultaneously on two different levels. On the one hand, the moving images and the music in the inner hexagon.
At the same time, the visual representation of the music in the outer area in the form of our "lava lamp", an interface that interacts with music in real time. On the left you can see the bass, on the right the treble.
Video produced by Severin Koller • Visuals produced by Ulrich Aschenbrenner.

What is the world? What is man?
The Greek philosophers already attempted to answer this question by explaining the world in terms of four components: Water, earth, fire and air make us aware of the beauty of nature and our world, but also of its dangers.
For "The Shape of Elements", Ulrich Drechsler, a multi-stylist between jazz, neo-classicism and club music, has invited "classical" chamber music experts - Koehne Quartet, Eggner Trio, Plattform K & K, Eloïse Bella Kohn - meet four greats of electronics - Patrick Pulsinger, Christian Fennesz, Peter Zirbs, Dorian Concept.
In large audio-visual suites, in visual worlds generated by Ulrich Aschenbrenner, they will make water, earth, fire and air resound musically.
Tickets are already available HERE.
Before Ulrich's CHROME goes into the studio at the end of May to record the album of the same name, which will be released in autumn, the band entered the stage of the MuTh, one of Vienna's most beautiful concert halls, for an early dress rehearsal lasting several days.
You can still watch here the complete streams from the rehearsals.
For the new concert series in collaboration with the MuTh concert hall in Vienna, "The Book of Sounds", Ulrich Drechsler invites illustrious guests from the indie, pop and electronic fields to create imaginary soundtracks to individual sounds in spontaneous concerts. Small, intimate adventure journeys into the heart of music.
Because one thing is clear! Without the "material" sound, there would be no music at all - no matter whether classical, pop, rock, electronic, jazz, soul, pop, world etc.. Everything is sound. This basic, smallest building block is the key to why music touches us so emotionally, why we go to concerts, why music accompanies us throughout our lives and simply belongs to being human.
But what exactly is sound? Let's find out together.
Welcome to the book of sounds
THE NEW AZURE EP "Prologue" will be released on 09/10/20 on all platforms worldwide. With AZURE Ulrich defines his vision of club music, inspired by trip hop and ambient music. With "Prologue" launches a series of new releases. The AZURE album is planned for end of February 2021, accompanied by a remix album and several planned video productions. Winter & spring are therefore azure colored.
In cooperation with the Viennese analogue temple "The Supersense", Ulrich invites gifted artists from the Viennese pop, electronic, soul, jazz and neoclassical scene every two weeks from autumn 2020 onwards to present them in a very special setting as part of his new concert series "LIMINAL ZONE analogue". Stay tuned on the own Instagram account.
Ulrich Drechsler's LIMINAL ZONE is growing and growing. Over the past years, three unique musical individual projects, the so-called Scopes, have been created in this unique world of sound: CARAMEL, AZURE & CHROME.
Starting with the remix album CARAMEL REIMAGINED, at least six larger and smaller releases are planned for the next two years. So nothing was more obvious than to found an own label for this - LIMINAL ZONE RECORDS. Ulrich continues his efforts to create a large network and creative infrastructure out of LIMINAL ZONE. May the exercise succeed.
The LIMINAL ZONE WEBSHOP is now open. All of Ulrich's releases are available there: CDs, vinyls, downloads and some real specials. Have fun browsing and discovering.
The new remix album CARAMEL REIMAGINED will be released on the 03/07/2020. It'll feature Techno, Deep House and Dub arrangements of Ulrich's celebrated album CARAMEL by Berlin and Vienna based producers like Peter Zirbs, Drahthaus, Ingo Rieber and more. It is also the first release of the project's own label LIMINAL ZONE RECORDS.
Dear all,
LIMINAL ZONE will not only be Ulrich Drechsler's new music playground. It will be a record label, webshop, production company, curated concert series with a network of 25 participating artists. To realize all this the way Ulrich imagines it, we need your help and would be very happy if you would support us.
In the tv programme "Kulturmontag" on austrian ORF" LIMINAL ZONE was provided with a documentary worth seeing. (In German only). Find here the link
Dear all,
The world seems to be turning in a different direction than we are used to.
///
I am all the more proud to be able to bring a little more beauty into the world with my profession, especially in these times.

I wish you lots of listening pleasure, stay healthy and hopefully see you at the next concert somewhere in our beautiful world.

During the recordings for CARAMEL this beautiful Making Of video was shot. Have fun watching it.
