GriffonVox Impressions
2009, Performance Impressions "Griffon & the Sirens"
Lo-fi clip of a high-quality performance: a condensed showreel - taken
during live-shows in 2008.
Electronic Wave Performance
From the beginning the band stuck out of the usual scope through their extraordinary sound arrangements, through the performance of the Sick Sisters, and through Mister A.s charismatic voice.
GriffonVox is Electronic Wave with powerful analogue drum lines, layered by Ambient and Ritual elements.
Sound quality, Psycho-Acoustic
GriffonVox employs for their production as well as for life-performance a high quality of sound. Thus, the music contains also psycho-acoustic sounds that have the capacity to reach deeper, more subconscious layers of sense perception. Thus, GriffonVox invites the audience to a journey to their selves.
Holistic Environmentalism
For GriffonVox a modern environmental awareness naturally has high significance. The performance project intends to alert the audience and wishes to bring the topic Environmental Awareness, in a modern manner, back to the everyday consciousness. Through images and sounds the audience is intended to become sensibilized to experience themselves again as part of the whole.
Performance Show
GriffonVox is not just another "band on stage". The show presents an epic and hypnotic performance - a composition of dance, drama and vocals. Aloof - sometimes wild, sometimes lascivious, slow and ritualistic - the Sick Sisters embed every track in a specially-tailored choreography. Associations to wild banshees, magic rituals, Kabuki theatre and Butoh dance are not brought about by coincidence.
GriffonVox presents art on stage, an experience which goes far beyond the understanding of a "normal" gig.
Performers
Mister A. (A. von Greifenkeil): Vocals, Machines, Arrangements, Lyrics.
Since 1997 he realized projects of light, dance, and sound.
Instead of becoming an environmentalist or resistance fighter of the external, he already started in his early years by searching for alternatives, which could cause changes to the outside in other, more substantial ways.
That way GriffonVox and Greifenkeil were born as spin-off products of many years of experience with archaic forms of meditation and shamanistic practices.
Mister A. is a trained druid, and holder of a Pre-Christian, Proto-Celtic tradition. He holds a state certified degree in Naturopathy, and acts as a coach (individual, creative and business level), poet and author.

Welcome to Theory of Tides. Check out our crosscurrents of alt rock, hip hop, techno and trance. Feedback, tell us your faves. Happy to have you here/hear in our Tidal Pool. THE TIDE IS IN…AND SO ARE THE REVIEWS ‘N’ INTERVIEWS:
-NEUFUTUR: “Mirana’s vocals further establish Theory of Tides as a truly special act, one that can use the widest possible swath of approaches to create the music heard here.” - SKOPE: “Cool, hip and modern beats are fully loaded on this new albumand I simply can’t get enough!” -EMUSIC: “…it’s like alternative trance music, with brief smatterings of hip hop/latin beats. Arty, yes - but does it work? Actually, yes.” - NEUFUTUR: “Theory of Tides, and this album specifically, should be seen as a blueprint for how to properly incorporate disparate genres of music into one cogent sound.” - SKOPE: “…Mirana simply sang her heart out while she meshed in perfectly with Rick’s production the all around connection at the end with everything coming together beautifully proves that the tide is high.” - NEUFUTUR: “Karaoke is Theory of Tide’s first bona fide hit, with cohesion abounds between the instrumental and vocal sides of the act. This results in a track that rides a groove while Mirana’s vocals clue listeners into a wonderfully detailed narrative.” - EMUSIC: “Track’s like ‘Elated’ have an Ibiza-in-summer feel and a deep house beat underneath Mirana’s distinctive vocals. ‘Hour of Pain’ is built on a swishing cymbol symbol beat and keyboard chords, and again it works – the vocal fades and quiet bass additions are spot on.” - SKOPE: “One aspect that I truly loved about his album was the use of sounds and beats. The sound production is spot on with Rick bringing his A-game. I heard everything form hip hop, pop/dance, technoish, trance like and tribal beats…”
