MaxMantis
Matt and Phreds
Lukas Gernet piano / Rafael Jerjen double bass / Samuel Büttiker drums
MaxMantis is more than just a piano trio! For ten years, the band – hailing from Switzerland – has toured the world with melodies inspired by the fascinating microcosm of the insect world. These underestimated arthropods not only inspired the band’s name but also invigorate its compositions and gave the band a face, a story, and its own universe. Sounds crazy? It is!
The three players form a clan of sonic storytellers, transcending stylistic and musical boundaries. The speed with which a praying mantis catches its prey, the strength of the Australian bull ant that carries one hundred times its own weight, and the beautiful complexity of the golden-orb-weaver spider’s web: these exaggerated superpowers link the tiniest creepy-crawlies to the MaxMantis clan. With an innate dose of Swiss precision, they perform the ‘Dance of the Moth Hunters’, dive into the world of the ‘Lady Bug Thugs’, cautiously adore the ‘Preying Mantis’ and explain in ‘Queen Bee’ what the hype around “the flowers and the bees” is really all about!
With their new album ‘YELLOW’, these three humanised super-insects continue to weave their musical epic. These three eminent Swiss jazz musicians (who also look fantastic in their suits!) also deliver the most entertaining announcements – with a pinch of Australian humour. The concerts of MaxMantis move, touch, fascinate, surprise, and transport audiences into a world full of energy, adrenaline, and musical adventures – to infinity and beyond!
