Aufgang - Channel 7 (John Talabot's You And Me Remix) unoffical video

AUFGANG ( www.myspace.com/aufgangsonar )

Aufgang is the reunion of 2 acoustic grand pianos and electronics. Performers are: Rami Khalifé and Francesco Tristano (pianists) and Aymeric Westrich (programming, sampling, drums).

The epic tale of Aufgang starts with the new century in the star city of the New World. Rami Khalifé and Francesco Tristano met in the year 2000 in New York where they were both studying the piano at the very prestigious Juilliard School. Being almost as assiduous in their clubbing than in their studies, the two began a passionate affair with electronic music on the side of their classical training, focussing on House Music, New York being one of its hotspot. They soon began playing together, creating from the start an explosive mix of genres transcending any possible musical bigotry.

JOHN TALABOT ( www.myspace.com/johntalabot )

John Talabot is a youngster from Barcelona with a rather special way of approaching music. His influences range from flamenco to nouthern soul, from African music to traditional Asian songs and his inspiration sources go from the profound and sensual house of Moodyman and labels such as Sound Signature or KDJ to Disco music, Chicago House, Pop or Techno.

His first commercial effort on German label Permanent Vacation included the A side "Afrika" and another two tracks,"Naomi" and "Korlee" . Shortly after (June 2009), "Sunshine" debuted via Talabot's own label Hivern.

"Sunshine" resurfaced on a limited blue vinyl with mixes by Delorean and Blondes (May 2010) after the original made it to Pitchfork's best new music of their 2009 list. At the same time Permanent Vacation launched his second release for the label: "Matilda's Dream"
