Their music doesn’t need words and still tells life’s most beautiful stories. Drums, a piano and a sitar mesh and thus “bring up a distinguished texture and sound aesthetic, exceptional of its kind,” [1] offering their audience the possibility to let go and lose themselves in beautiful melodies and drifty rhythms.

Matyas Wolter (Sitar, Bass-Sitar) and Beate Wein (Piano, Bass Novation, Pianet) started to explore new sound aesthetics by combining the sitar and the piano in Potsdam, Germany, in 2007. “Not much later Aaron Christ joined in and the trio was born. What all of them had in common was the delight to experiment, the joy of playing as well as their daring nature.” [2]

“Matyas Wolter studied the sitar under his master Subroto Roy Chowdhury (Senia Gharana) living more than five years together with his teacher in his house in Kolkata. After his Guru passed away in 2017 he continued his studies under guidance of the famous Sarod-master Irfan Khan (Shajahanpur-Lucknow Gharana).” [3]

The German world-jazz-trio regularly tours India and charms the Indian audience with sweeping intercultural tunes, proving that harmonies – in music as well as in life – emerge best from (apparently) contrasting components.
