KV 2006 - inspired by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Sweet Susie & Manni Montana - KV 2006

2006 is the 250th birthday of W. A. Mozart. KV is short for Koechel-Verzeichnis, the Mozart Catalogue of compositions. Combine both and you will find a new way to look
classical music.

Sweet Susie and Manni Montana, two of the leading artists of Vienna's Electronic Music Scene, got inspired by melodies from the Magic Flute, Don Giovanni or Figaro's Marriage.

To achieve their goal, the took the entire multitrack recording of Nouvelle Cuisine's "Mozart Revisited" (Q0502) but also used the original orchestral score. With the help of the famous "Vienna Sound Library", selected orchestra parts of Mozart's score were reconstructed in full detail to be used in KV 2006. The result is an exciting synthesis of electronic music, the power of a Big Band and the majestic sound of an orchestra.

Get inspired, too!

Welcome to the show!
Wolfgang Puschnig | Linda Sharrock | The Chants Band - Late Night Show part I

It´s three in the morning. You turn on the radio to put to rest the remains of the day. First: Nothing. You keep twisting the large knob searching for a station ... noise ... fractions of words ... maybe secret stories from this or any other world out there... Suddenly a dark yet massive bass drum cuts through the silence of the late hour.

Stop. Love Me Tender? Elvis Presley? But this is definitely not the song you thought you knew so well. But this is not the voice of the King Of Rock´n´Roll, that is for sure. This is different. And the next song? Isn´t this “May This Be Love” by Jimi Hendrix?
But you definitely know the sound of the Band: CHANTS. The legendary Band of Wolfgang Puschnig and Linda Sharrock, founded in 2001 with an album of the same title (Q0102-2). This Sound is unique. Slow. Intensive. Powerfull.
What you here is a mid of the night Radio Show with DJ Joe Remick from Austria´s famous alternative radio “FM4”. Playing songs, telling stories.

You just wanted to chill for a second and go to bed. But this nightfly took you straigt into sunrise. And it is going to be a good one. Better than you expected, anyway.

Thank you for tuning in.

Welcome back to part two of our show. You will find more of your favourite classics like Oye Como Va, Besame Mucho, Blackbird and others. And taking us home will be yet another Blue Moon.

Thank you for tuning in again.
