German experimental musician Felix-Florian Tödtloff will come to Aotearoa New Zealand in June and July 2023 and play his first solo shows in the southern hemisphere. In addition Felix will play a few selected concerts with Tāmaki Makaurau-based musician Will Gresson as »The Old Dream of Symmetry«.
In 2012 the Berlin-raised musician started performing solo as »Sferics«, improvising frippertronics-style loops on electric guitar. Over time he added layers of subtractive synthesizer drones, percussion and processed field recordings - expanding his musical vocabulary and leaning towards more compositional techniques.
In 2021 Full Body Massage Records released Tödtloff's first album »Shale / Like Gold« on which he blends acoustic instruments with Berlin-school-style electronica, followed by time-streching studies which became the 2-song EP »Alto«, released in 2022 on Grisaille.
Besides performing solo Felix is part of experimental Duos »Magazine Magazine« & »The Old Dream of Symmetry« and leads the improvisational rock group »Swoosh«. Notable solo performances took place all throughout Europe, Israel, Russia and China. Two musical study tours took him to the Caucasus and the Volta Region of Ghana.
Felix-Florian Tödtloff's performance at Wunderbar, Lyttelton will happen as part of the Lytellton Arts Festival: https://www.lyttfest.nz
