So, I get a couple of samples in from No Man's Land in Germany by this group I've never heard of and I don't look carefully at it and I put it in the player, and I put one of them in and the thing is playing and it's this very Eastern European-influenced music with accordion, clarinets, saxes and drums. Then I look and see it's called Die Resonanz Stanonczi and I think "hmmmm" and then after a while it's playing and I'm totally digging it and thinking to myself "man, this band sounds like a natural for collaborating with Amy Denio". Then the singing starts and it *IS* Amy Deno. Well, I'll be shat upon, as an old friend used to say. Another great one for Amy-fans!
"Central-East music would be an appropriate expression to describe this music. Its foundation forms a typical instrument for popular music from Central Europe (Austria), but musically speaking, we are located in Eastern Europe. In this project “The Stanonczi Resonance” the great love for Eastern European music and its possibilities for presentation of emotions are combined with other Central European influences is put into work. Steiner Johannes is the “musical drive” behind the project. One of his major concerns is to integrate the diatonic accordion – a traditional instrument in popular music – into other musical styles to show new possibilities of the instrument. The music is self-composed and –arranged."
