About my band
ANALOGUE BIRDS
Hand ‘n’ Mouthmade NuBeatz

Since they started playing together in 2003, the band members of Analogue Birds
amazed their audience in eastern and western Europe, Australia and the U.S.A.
With the recent trio, once more the musicians do present extraordinary sound
and groovy beats on the highest level.

Tom Fronza, Sven Kosakowski and Jorge Rodrigues mix a fresh musical stylebreaker with ingredients of different genres like Drum’n’ Bass, Dancehall, Jazz, Funk and World without touching the common clichees.

The Didgeridoo, fascinating instrument of the native australians is here put in a context
of pumping rhythm and contemporary harmonics.
With the Analogue Birds, by means of the playing technique, the didgeridoo adds surprising musical accents.
Genrebreaking drumming, as well as round subbasses and hulking effect layers create a
driving background for the "aboriginal stick".
Vocal performing like Rap and Toasting, plus melody lines and percussion parts form the“cherry on the cake” in these three musicians collaboration.
In that way, the energetic interaction of the three musicians creates an innovative
sound experience for ears, legs and heart!

The Analogue Birds aren't commited to a musically style, tradition or genre as well as
they aren't commited to a certain surrounding for their gigs.

The trio with the stirring sound does not only amaze in concerthalls,
clubs, bars or on open air events. The band is famous for charming the
international "busking" audience too.

In the past few years, the Analogue Birds had collaborations with star producer Roli Mosiman (Bjoerk, Faith No More, New Order), drum prodigy JoJo Mayer and the polish NuBeat talents Miloopa.
Influences
My Zen Teacher Harry Kundt

Nearly all didgeplayers I heard so far.

Two years of Tabla studies.

All the gifted musicians I played with and listened to.

Hi Tom, 

Thanks so much for your fantastic skills and performence. It was a real pleasure meeting you and attending your workshop. I hope you had a good journey home. Martin told me that some roads were blocked, not the one you were driving on I hope.

Cheers, and see you soon.

Enjoy the moment,

Ashna

Hi Tom, es für mich nicht nur eine Ehre dich kennen zu lernen sondern auch ein sehr große Freude. Denk jetzt bitte nichts falsches aber: Du bist jemand den man einfach gern haben muss. Danke auch für die Komplimente an meine Instrumente.
Bis zum nächsten mal,

George.

Hi Tom, yes Tim did mention it but I declined as I am a little short of instruments at the moment. I have sold too many (all the really good ones have gone too) so I have to get down into my workshop a get some new ones done.
George.

Hi Tom, that is fantastic news. We are in our Easter break right now and I will be seeing the others in about two weeks time. As soon as I can offer you some possible dates I will let you know.
Tim sagte er würde auch gern kommen also könnte es ein sehr schöner Tag werden.
Looking very much forward to meeting you,
George.

Hi Tom, maybe we could gear up something here in Bückeburg? Our group meets every Monday evening but we do workshops now and then when we can persuade someone to come to us. A couple of years ago Ansgar came, last year we had Andreas Burckhardt. Let me know if you are interested. Perhaps on a Saturday or Sunday?
Greetings,
George.

Hey Tom, great to see that you have found your way here to us all. A very warm welcome to you.

Greetings,

George.
