21 November 2017: Airbag & Markus Reuter


AIRBAG's first release on KARISMA RECORDS.

Norwegian Airbag's 'Identity' gives us the sound of rich classic progressive rock blended with scenic soundscapes, epic guitars and soulful vocals.

The sound of classic progressive rock blended with scenic soundscapes, epic guitars and soulful vocals – as legendary Classic Rock Magazine said: “prog at its most chilled, honeyed and soothing.”

In the second half of tonight's show, we'll feature a live performance from touch guitarist, Markus Reuter.

about

Performed and recorded live on August 12 2016 at Teatro José Rubén Romero, Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico.

Presented here mixed down to stereo, and in slightly edited form, that is with shortened intros. "Black Sky" was orginally played as one long continuous piece, but was split into two parts for this release.

An 8-channel playback system was used for the concert, and the pieces were conceived more as "sound sculptures" than traditional concert pieces.

Write to info@markusreuter.com should you be interested in an unedited 5.1 mix of this concert, which was created by the renowned Mexican sound engineer Carlos Cortes.
