FAUN - Acoustic Tour Jan-April '09
We were ourself amazed about the interest and the reactions on the acoustic tour. Afterwards, we are proud to realise that all the concerts had a fantastic athmosphere, were very well visited and that even 13 of 20 concerts were totally sold out. For a little memory here a compiled video of two concerts from the tour:



____________________________________________________

FAUN combines ancient instruments with modern influences to create an enchanting and powerful atmosphere.

The band's performances incorporates with up to three voices chant and employs many different instruments. For example: Celtic harp, nyckelharpa, various lyres, bagpipes, large Japanese taiko drums, cister, Pagan zither, flutes and even Arabic instruments like dombra, rebab, riq, oud, darabukka and bendir.

Influences of Celtic folk, medieval music and Arabic rhythmic tones fusing with driving beats draws an ever fast growing crowd of followers.

The ensemble FAUN was founded in early 2002 in Munich and has performed at more than 450 locations, festivals, concert halls and churches throughout Europe, including: Mèra Luna Festival (Germany), Elf Fantasy Fair (Netherlands), Wave Gotik Treffen (Germany), Fiesta Celtica Biella (Italy),Folkwoods Folkfestival (Netherlands), Arena van Vletingen (Belgium), Locomotive (Paris/France), Savari Karn..Hungary), Palladius/Barcelona (Spain), Estragon (Italy) and many more...

Since March of 08 Faun is performing with the new band member:
Sandra Elflein (vocals, violin, hurdy-gurdy, flutes).

In 2004 FAUN started working together with a theatre and stage musician Niel Mitra (Sampler, Workstation and Synthesizer).
Since then FAUN mostly performs together with Niel Mitra on amplified stages.
Ocassionally when requested, a set of medieval acoustic music (unplugged) is offered.

Til today FAUN has released five longplay CDs:
"Zaubersprüche" (Incantations) - 2002
"Licht" (Light) - 2004
"Renaissance" - 2005
"Totem" - 2007
"FAUN & the pagan folk festival - LIVE" - 2008

and two DVD's:
"Lichtbilder" (Light pictures) - 2004 (not available anymore)
"Ornament" - 2007

In cooperation with distributor Curzweyhl / Rough Trade (Germany) and the Label "NoirRecords" (USA) they have til today sold many thousand CDs worldwide.
Their latest CD "TOTEM" hit rank no. 78 in the German (media control) album charts, rank no. 6 in the German alternative charts and rank no. 1 in the German medieval charts.

Comments from euphoric press:
"Simply wonderful..."
