Flute & Voice

Flute & Voice

Flute & Voice has been played on NTS shows including Zel Zele w/ Debora Ipekel & Ece Duzgit, with Resting Thinking About Time first played on 29 January 2025.

A German duet composed by multi instrumentalists, FLUTE & VOICE is totally devoted to "world" and acoustic experimentations combined to rock. The guitarist Hans Reffert "Flute" (whose reputation is strongly approved in Mannheim region) formed the band with Hans Brandeis "Voice" in 1969. They have rapidly shared their common interest for Indian sitar. At the beginning of the 70’s this duet provided an inventive "ethnic" rock sound with an abundant use of sitar, raga ingredients. Their music is a fantastic cross section of different moods and playings: dancing flute lines, jazzy & folk guitars accompaniments, a mysterious tone provided by the sitar. The communication between the instruments is full of beauty and introspection.

They started to record their first album “Imagination of Light” in 1970. In 1973, they recorded the second album of their career “Hallo Rabbit”. They made many performances in Germany for clubs or during special festivals (German Jazz Festival 1972 in Frankfurt). In 1974, the band disappears after Brandeis move to Berlin. An impressive, innovative band whose music is an opened door to our inner perceptions. Really outside of time. (http://www.progarchives.com)

Works in other projecs: Renaissance-Ensemble Pöhlert - Hans Reffert playing cromorne, a Renaissance wind instrument Rock’n’Roll Art Ensemble - Hans Reffert Zauberfinger - Hans Reffert Guru Guru - Hans Reffert Sanfte Liebe (“Soft Love”) - Hans Reffert

Hans Brandeis studied Asian music and, since 1976, he has carried out seven research trips to the Philippines during which he documented and tape-recorded more than 110 hours of traditional music of the southern Philippine mountain tribes. Today, Hans Brandeis lives and works as a free-lance ethnomusicologist in Berlin and publishes the results of his research in articles, books and compact discs.
