Studio Dan

The end of the Studio Dan newsletter in its spartan style has come. From April we will be switching to a more colorful (yes - photos!), but above all editorially designed and more comprehensive format. Stay tuned and give us feedback in due course!

We are using the quiet February to promote our new CD release ROS5 – Hydra. We ask that you check in and out frequently in our virtual farm shop.

Out with the old, in with the new! It's the time for New Year's resolutions, so we offer all self-optimizers our MuTh subscription YOU BETTER LISTEN to compensate for the gym and special diet! We can't imagine better self-care.

Before the year 2023 comes to an end and the world disappears in the 13th month between the years, we`d like to once again tell you about our upcoming concert series YOU BETTER LISTEN!.

Have you already set up one or perhaps even several Advent calendars? At least you can open the first window on Friday. #anticipation.

Welcome to November! We continue with music that suits us very well, from Ingrid Laubrock and Lukas König, among others, in the finest establishments in Vienna.

The self-description on our website essentially says that we like to engage with opposing positions. With our participation in the (three-day) Fritz Pauer Personale at Vienna's Porgy & Bess and the revival of the Xenakis Machine project, we clearly provide proof of this claim...

In September there will be some opportunities to see each other and, above all, a lot of new music.

This text was written as an email interview with Daniel Riegler (Studio Dan) as part of the preparations for a text that appeared in the Austrian daily newspaper DER STANDARD on September 2. For reasons of space, as the editors confirmed to us afterwards, little of the original text could be printed. We would like to make up for this here.

We interrupt a few quiet weeks with a gathering in the ZONK!?!!-proven Brigittenau (Vienna). We invite you to a concert and summer party. If all goes well, we'll even throw on the grill.

in view of the lush cultural program in Vienna, we would like to remind you of today's Studio Session – a friendly reminder!

In May we dedicate ourselves to new repertoire. For the Musica Electronica Nova (MEN) festival in Wrocław, Poland, we are preparing

The next studio session is coming up and we are celebrating our debut at the Wiener Festwochen and the Schauspielhaus Wien with a small ensemble delegation.

Departure to Planet Globokar tells the dramatic prologue (director: Melanie Hollaus) of our music theater production Planet Globokar.

To inject a little normality back into the situation, we’d like to use this newsletter to let you know about a few items worth seeing or hearing – all just a click or two away. Also, we have a present for you

Das 2005 gegründete Wiener Ensemble STUDIO DAN sucht zur Verstärkung des Teams - insbesondere für die aktuellen Projekte (bis Mitte Oktober), aber auch darüber hinaus - eine / einen Stage ManagerIn / FahrerIn / ProduktionsassistentIn.

What the heck is going on? Hordes of panicky squirrels clutching at their nuts, the dogs hot on their trail, security-obsessed control freaks and coldhearted technocrats. The world needs another kind of hero!

Basically our ensemble is blessed by great luck and support. It all starts with the incredibly enthusiastic crowd of musicians who, instead of falling into professional routine, still go for it.

The surtitle of our concert series is Experimental Music Festival. This is our - perhaps somewhat helpless - explanation to describe what we are about. So: why all this?

Since autumn 2017, Studio Dan has been part of an initiative that seeks to actively shape the music sector of the City of Vienna's cultural policy.

In the blink of an eye and suddenly it's 2018. And we, still jet-lagged from our exciting trip to the US, are already planning our next appearances in America. But first things first
