Hotelgäste is a Canadian/German trio based in Berlin, drawing upon diverse experiences within their environment to explore a new music created in the moment; sonic densities and vast cold silences are juxtaposed to bring architectural like structural integrity to their improvisations.
Population and solitude, traffic jams and back country ways, amplification and quietness, acoustic and electric, exploratory and communication, and of course conversations with the many different guests make this hotel an exciting musical experience.
In August 2005, they released their debut album ‘Flowers You Can Eat’, on the Berlin label
Schraum. A release of live recordings made on tour in Germany and Switzerland is available
now as a limited edition vinyl.
