Debut-Album Dedication to a City
crackedanegg records 2007
"Dieses Ensemble transportiert in einer unglaublichen Eleganz und Klarheit alles das, was ein musikverwöhntes Ohr zu hören wünscht.
Ángelas Stimme betört subtil, emotionell mit Geist und unglaublichem Charme in absolut internationalem Format.
Ihre Kompositionen und Texte ersticken aufkommende Langerweile im Keim.
Siegmars Stimme an den Reeds bereichert die Klangebene mit ehrlicher Empfindsamkeit für das Ganze, durch farbenreiches Solo- und Sidemendasein. Wehe, wenn man ihn frei laufen lässt!
Die Rhythmusgruppe lässt die Solisten so fliegen, wie man sich das als Solist eben nur wünschen kann und da weiß ich, wovon ich spreche.
Danke ! Österreich hat endlich wieder einmal etwas, worauf es wirklich stolz sein darf !
Wer diese Band versäumt, ist selber schuld !"

I guess I am influenced by many things but mostly by the sounds of life.
By the nature and by my friends. By my family and by my surroundings..
By the musicians I played / play with (my band: Siegmar!, Tino!, Stefan!, Benny! Philipp!).
By the music I heard (live and on recording..)
Kenny Wheeler, Maria Schneider, Luciana Souza, Bob Brookmeyer, Avishai Cohen, Kurt Rosenvinkel, Omer Avital, Chiara Civello, Norma Winstone, Radiohead, Sigur Ros, by the music of Frederic Mompou and J.S.Bach, by Brad Mehldau, Bela Bartock, Claude Debussy, Frederic Chopin, Alan Pasqua, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter,
By the words of R.M.Rilke, Milan Kundera, Paulo Coehlo, Siri Hustvedt, Erich Fried and and and...
(the list would be so long..)
I was born (1983) and raised (1983-2001) in in Salzburg, Austria. I grew up in a very musical surrounding since my parents both are classical musicians.
From early on I got the chance to try out many instruments such as recorder, violin, piano. But singing always has been my passion, my real instrument. From the age of 16 on I took Piano (Markus Urbas) and Jazz-singing (Yella Schwarzer) lessons and so learned a lot of basics.
After graduating at a High School with special emphasis on music I went to Graz, Austria to study music pedagogy. After 2 years I changed the studies to Jazz-vocal with Laurie Antonioli and graduated with a Bachelors Degree in June 2006 with distinction.
Between 1998 and 2005 I attended workshops and Masterclasses with Lauren Newton, Theo Bleckmann, Jay Clayton, Ines Reiger, Fay Classen, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Huw Warren, Luciana Souza, Dick Oatts, Jon Hendricks and Bobby McFerrin.
Twice I received scholarships from the University of Graz for attending Masterclasses and Workshops.
In March 2006 I have been accepted to Manhattan School of Music but because of financial reasons I decided to go to NYC for private studies (composition/arrangement with Alan Ferber (Kenny Wheeler), Ingrid Jensen, Bruth Barth, voice/piano with Theo Bleckman and Peter Eldridge).
I also attended workshops/masterclasses with Dave Liebman, Maria Schneider and Jason Moran.
With my Band MOSAIK I started working on my own material, songs in which the voice partly is used as an instrument but also word-focused pieces.
Our Debut-CD "Dedication to a city" has been released in June 2007 on cracked anegg records and gained some great critics; for more information visit www.angelatroendle.com
Since Fall 2007 I'm also enrolled in a Masters Program for Jazz Composition with Ed Partyka.
2007 I gained the Annual Scholarship for Music of the Government of Salzburg.
