2023 was all about the presentation of the FUCHSTHONE debut album “Structures & Beauty”. There were 8 cities in Germany and abroad on the tour schedule: Magdeburg, Karlsruhe, Bonn, Dinslaken, Munich, Dornbirn, Düsseldorf and Cologne.
he band’s live energy was fantastic and the response from the local audience was correspondingly exuberant. Concert reviews and photos provide a good picture of this.
After a two-year development process leading up to the finished CD, live music needs to be celebrated again – preferably with lots of concerts where the music preserved on disc is revived live. Each concert is different: solos are never the same, the energy varies, new ideas are introduced … it never gets boring, not least because of the large proportion of improvisation!
A tour with 22 musicians + 2 sound engineers is always exhausting, but the joy and fun on stage make up for any night-time journey and a very special dynamic is created: everybody knows where they are going, finds their place in the ensemble and gives their best. Working together as a team to organise something is a great experience.
Our audience also plays a big part in this: when you sense that our music resonates with the listeners, that it has an effect and allows them to discover new things, amazes or delights them – that’s a great reward: a feeling of unity and meaningfulness.
