Henny Herz

In the organizer's words:

Once a reference has been found, it is forgotten again one song later. HENNY HERZ makes music that doesn't want to commit itself. And that creates a seemingly weightless space to let go. The salon - a space for encounters, for exchange, where people play, listen and question. Where people disappear for a few hours and then somehow come out differently. Back then, it was a living room to which people were invited. Including Henriette Herz in 18th century Berlin. The attached "Herz" thus solidarizes with this idea of the salon, which for HENNY HERZ means above all s p a c e, which she is always looking for and into which she wants to invite her listeners. Music that doesn't try to be black or white in a binary world, or to be loud or shrill or quiet. It just wants to be. The way it is heard. Without wanting to define itself as jazz or pop or as a mixture of both and without setting itself boundaries, neither in the direction of surprising irritation nor in the direction of familiar harmony. Everything is influenced anyway, as long as it is not influenced by fear, but by all the voices that call out to be heard and made audible in their own and other people's cosmos. These voices were collected both through immersion in the humanities and on a six-month trip around the world through musical metropolises. They finally made their way into her consciousness when the artist retreated to a 200-year-old farmhouse in Salzburger Land at the end of 2017. "Because I invited loneliness, I was no longer lonely, because at that moment there were two of us," she says, and so the songs that have now merged into a first album are born: BACK INTO SPACE. The fact that different spaces were entered and closed again during the creation process makes the album an exciting journey through the artist's peculiar universe. Both live and on record, HENNY HERZ makes herself heard with her unusual aura and creates a weightless, captivating atmosphere.
