The scientific name of an octopus species served as the namesake for the young band Eledone. Similar to the wondrous sea creatures, the formation moves through the complex field of jazz fusion in their program Of Many Moods , sometimes with graceful ease, sometimes with sheer power.

And like in the body of an octopus, three hearts beat in Eledone: Jonas Kastenhuber (piano), Alex Matheis (electric bass) and Jakob Gschwandtner (drums) form a trio with an independent sound. The musicians skilfully combine influences from a wide variety of genres and styles in their own compositions. Their "Acoustic Fusion" reveals echoes of rock, pop or minimal music, always present the emotional emphasis of soul. Complex rhythms are combined with catchy melodies, rousing grooves with direct emotionality. Through-composed structures dissolve in favor of highly dynamic improvisations, in which the possibilities of making music together are creatively exhausted - an explosive, young sound in the Sunday matinee at Hauer!

Die wissenschaftliche Bezeichnung einer Oktopus-Gattung diente als Namensgeber für die junge Band Eledone. Ähnlich den wundersamen Meeresbewohnern bewegt sich die Formation in ihrem Programm Of Many Moods mal mit graziler Leichtigkeit, mal mit purer Kraft agierend durch das vielschichtige Feld des Jazzfusion.

Und wie im Körper eines Kraken schlagen auch in Eledone drei Herzen: Jonas Kastenhuber (Piano), Alex Matheis (E-Bass) und Jakob Gschwandtner (Schlagzeug) bilden ein Trio mit eigenständigem Sound. Gekonnt verbinden die Musiker in ihren Eigenkompositionen Einflüsse aus unterschiedlichsten Genres und Stilen. Ihre „Acoustic Fusion“ lässt Anklänge an Rock, Pop oder Minimal Music erkennen, immer präsent die Gefühlsbetontheit des Soul. Dabei verbinden sich komplexe Rhythmen mit eingängigen Melodien, mitreißende Grooves mit unvermittelter Emotionalität. Durchkomponierte Strukturen lösen sich zugunsten hochdynamischer Improvisationen auf, in denen kreativ die Möglichkeiten des gemeinsamen Musizierens ausgereizt werden – ein explosiver, junger Sound in der Sonntagsmatinee beim Hauer!
