Description
Upcycling Band – Sustainable and Creative Music
The Upcycling Band is a fascinating ensemble of four professional percussionists and multi-instrumentalists from the Trentino-South Tyrol region. The group represents all three linguistic communities of the region – German, Italian, and Ladin – and uses music as a universal form of communication.
In the spirit of sustainability, they play exclusively on instruments and sound objects handcrafted by Max Castlunger, all made from repurposed materials. This not only creates a unique sound experience but also adds a striking visual element to their performances.
Their music is inspired by various global musical traditions, taking the audience on a journey to distant lands. On stage, they use over 50 original instruments, all crafted from recycled materials and capable of producing unexpected sounds.
The band has performed at numerous prestigious events, including the Sustainability Days in Bolzano, the 10th Bavarian CSR Day in Munich, the Ambria Jazz Festival, the Sella Ronda Hero, Runkelstein Castle, the Euregio Cultural Center Grand Hotel Toblach, the 2nd Festival of Regions in Turin, the House of Museums in Olten (CH), the Thurgau Nature Museum (CH), the Basel Historical Music Museum (CH), and many more.
Their performances are a remarkable example of creativity and sustainability in music.
