Matze Pröllochs + Angela Aux

In the organizer's words:

Grew up in Tübingen, grew up at the LTT: Matze Pröllochs is an old acquaintance at the Landestheater. Even as a teenager, he was a formative figure in the Tübingen music scene and appeared on the LTT stage at an early age (including in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" directed by Simone Sterr in 2009). Together with Charlotte Brandi, he founded the band "Me And My Drummer" and moved to Berlin in 2010. This was followed by many successful years with two album releases and hundreds of concerts throughout Europe until the end of the band in 2018.

Matze Pröllochs has now been independent for some time. Most recently, he attracted attention with the music for several award-winning theater productions at the Schauspielhaus Zurich, the Thalia Theater in Hamburg and the Münchner Kammerspiele, as well as the Deutsches Theater in Berlin.
Now he is releasing his first solo album "Birth No Birth", which deals with the subject of birth and also gives space to the sad event of miscarriage. For many people, pregnancy and the promise of a new life that comes with it is the most auspicious moment of all. At the same time, there is a taboo surrounding the deeply familiar reflection of this hopeful moment, the miscarriage. This experience often remains in the intimate, unshareable realm of life, associated with feelings of isolation, powerlessness and self-doubt.

With his new album, which will be released on 21.02.25, Matze Pröllochs is looking for a way to transform this intimate experience, which is shared by so many, into a common experience. The predominantly instrumental pieces combine rhythms with orchestral sounds and individual piano moments. Between triphop and art pop, an otherworldly soundtrack has been created, which will also be presented in Tübingen as part of the release concerts.

Angela Aux, for years on a mission between pop and underground, anti-folk and experimental pop. Notorious songwriter and weirdo, mastermind of Aloa Input, film music and typewriter performances, contemporary to eclectic, cheerful to melancholic to bizarre. His live shows have long been insider tips, solo and with a great band, beautiful choral singing to broken hobo lyrics with changing references from Beck to Velvet Underground, Mac DeMarco, Beatles and Justin Vernon. Many years on the road in dress and wig, recently disguised as an alien. Announcing the future, serving from the past, always creating confusion in the present. After the acclaimed 2023 hybrid album "Instinctive Travels on the Paths of Space and Time" (including Star of the Year Award AZ Munich, Record of the Year In-Munich, Album 2023 Top10 Tip-Berlin), the songwriter remains on the subject of the future. On the dreamy longplayer "Spacelarking in the Age of Spiritual Machines" (released on 31.05.2024), named album of the week by RBB radioeins and BR Zündfunk, Angela Aux explores the fantastic grey areas of the mythologies of digitalization, space travel and artificial superintelligences. The political scientist counters the "Spacelarking" of the apologists around Elon Musk with a set of fantastic trips in the "Kraut-Pop" genre: sychedelic, dreamy and permeated by second and third levels. In addition to classic Aux catchy tunes, "Spacelarking in the Age of Spiritual Machines" consists of experimental compositions between ambient, lo-fi hip-hop and film music. As on the previous albums, many friendly aliens are at work: Aloa Input, Cico Beck (Joasihno/Notwist), Ioana Selaru, LCAW, Simon Popp, Henny Herz and Sam Irl.

Since 2011, Angela Aux has released six albums, which have become critics' favorites and made the circles they have drawn bigger and bigger. The playful folk songs now collect millions of streams, rotate in playlists worldwide, accompany Netflix series ("Biohackers") and movies ("Mein Sohn") and inspire the worldwide radio landscape from KEXP, Triple J and FIP Radio France to DLF Kultur, WDR, BR or FM4.
