                                 INGOLD- Resume

 

 

                                                 Ingold was born in 1963 in Munich, Germany.

Ingold has traveled the world as a multi-instrumentalist, mainly focusing on the gong. His journey has taken him from the Acropolis to Red Square, Trondheim (the home of the Vikings) to Cyprus, Aphrodite’s island. He has worked with a diversity of artists and musicians, played in a wide range of groups, and participated in numerous concerts and experimental projects.

 

From 1977 to 1987 he studied Piano and flute at the well-known Waltershausener Seminar in Munich. Further studies in percussion instruments, improvisation and orchestra band music followed.

From 1987 to 1990, together with the contemporary artist Tarkis Konstantin, he created musical sculptures such as

• “Sirens”, an installation for the renowned Dokumenta (No. 8) in 1987 in Kassel, Germany

•  for “Cosmic Night”, a production with Brian Eno in Copenhagen in 1987,

  as well as

• project collaboration with Berlin’s Technical University in 1988.

• Between 1990 and 1998, he was based principally in Athens, where he participated in concerts with “Drums of Passion”, made studio recordings with the gong for the album “Byzantine Meditation” (“Delphi Gong 7”), produced by Alex Antheus, and worked together with various DJs.
• From 1998 to 2000 he composed music for the film-company “Antaris”.

Following further music projects in Israel and Poland, he formed the ethnic band “Freedom” in Gdansk, Poland.

Since 2003 he has worked closely with the music producer Robert Usewicz in Poland, with whom he formed the band “Navigator” (“N-Vibe”). Ingold plays gong, percussion, synthesizer and flute; the other members are Robert Usewicz (vocals, synthesizer, gong), Karolina Gorgol (vocals), Jan M. Pluta (drums), Piotr Dunajski (tuba).

Simultaneously Ingold and Robert Usewicz have done extensive experimental work to define new musical styles and sounds using a diversity of percussion instruments, synthesizers, tuba, didgeridoo, Tibetan balls etc. They have recorded outdoors, e.g. in the world-renowned Stocznia Docks in Gdansk, and remixed the recordings to form new sound landscapes. They call this new style “Trance City Sound”.

     Ingold’s personal dream is to inspire all nations, through music and a new vision of the  

            future, to coexist in peace with each other and their precious environment.
