BOOMLESS Biography
Drummer, Percussionist and Producer Gregor Hilbe has created a large catalogue of eclectic productions in many different aesthetic and ethnic contexts over the many years of shaping his musical language.
Growing up in a cosmopolitan, jazzophile family, his early fascination for the sounds of Miles Davis, Weather Report, early Ska & Punk hearing Billy Cobham for the first time brought him to a share a bandroom with his brother and his friends. There, 11 years old, he fell in love with the Minimoog as his second instrument.
Taking lessons with Jojo Mayer at 16 and joining his footsteps as drummer of the legendary Vienna Art Orchestra went along with countless freelance activities including touring with Jazz-Artists Mark Murphy, Sheila Jordan, Andy Bey, Dave Liebman, Kurt Elling, Joe Lovano, Art Farmer, Bob Mintzer, Joseph Bowie, Monica Zetterlund, Michelle Hendricks etc.
Establishing “Tribal Poetry” (tribal drums & electronica) with the ToySun Collective during the 90ies in Paris, he shared the profound experience of meeting Tony Allen, being labelmates on Comet Records, preparing his comeback with “Black Voices”. Further collaborations were “Avril” with Laurent Garnier’s Label F-Comm followed by extensive touring (Glastonbury, Montreux, Dour etc.).
By creating and producing many projects in the electro-acoustic realm, a very personal musical language has appeared that unites the directness and corporality of repetitive rhythms and the sensuality of electronic aesthetics.
The cosmopolitan history of the family and the 20 years spent in Paris, London & Berlin have shaped a sound, that connects the zeitgeist with timeless realms.
