Presentation
As a one-man-band spreading the essence of his music in all directions, Martin, minimalist and virtuoso all in one, has remained faithful to the musical instruments of is traditional family: clarinet, drums, accordion, and song. As a composer for live performances for LA PENDUE, and a member of the Swiss-Italian band The Pumcliks Orchestra, Martin as MKO, is able to cross several layers of reduction.
Three Versions
PORTABLE ONE MAN BAND – cabaret and street
Being rooted in an urban setting, Martin changes its dimensions with his poetic and surprising presence, while celebrating life at the centre of its heart beat.
ONE MAN BAND, SCENIC VERSION – in concert on stage
As a scenic version, this one-man-band adds the drums and the accordion to the list of instruments used to give a denser and more tribal feel to the music.
TRIO OF ONE MAN BANDS – OKTOPUS ORKESTARS eccentric cabaret
After many years of solitary musical dissociations, Martin Kaspar, Santiago Moreno ( ARG- Cie La Mu/ette) and Karl Stets( DK) decide to put together their sounds and musical skills to create the first band made up of a trio of one-man-bands: OKTOPUS ORKESTARS. From Jazz to Cumbia and Klezmer music, the trio offers a staggering variety of musical delights in the most unusual forms that you could only dream of.
