Since the year 2007, there has been an intense cooperation between musicians from New York and Vienna who play klezmer and avantgarde music.

from Brooklyn, New York, will come to Europe this April in order to tour with their friends from Vienna. On the 12th of April, they will also perform in Ljubljana, Rog factory's concert hall. There will be two shows, one playing rather traditional, very danceable jiddish songs, the other one very interesting sounds played on a broad variety of weird instruments, using influences of klezmer, hiphop and avantgarde.
“Haunting”
-The New York Times
“One of the most hypnotizing and gratifying
shows we had been to in a long time.”
-Billboard
“Sxip has the incredible ability to turn the minds of his audience almost entirely inside out.”
-Nonsense NYC
creates ecstatic melodies, unimaginable sounds and deep sexy beats utilizing Industrial Flutes, Bullhorn Harmonica, Regurgitated Music Box, Triple Extended Pennywhistles, Miniature Hand Bell Choir, Human Beat Boxing, Obnoxiophone, Glass Bowls With Red Marbles, and a clutch of curious objects. A confusion of novelty, experimental and electronics, that’s wild, deep and entertaining.
Sxip has been featured at TED in Monterey California and at SXSW in Austin Texas. He has toured the U.S. as support act for the Dresden Dolls and performed at their two days festival at the Round House in London England. He had a hit show at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in Australia. In New York City Sxip performs regularly at Joe’s Pub in New York City. Has also performed at The Knitting Factory, Tonic, Makor and many underground parties in Brooklyn. As a circus composer he has performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. The Sydney Opera House and the New Victory Theater on Broadway.
“One of the most wonderful, demented and bellicose themes of bedlam that has ever blessed a crappy Casio keyboard...one of the most hypnotizing and gratifying shows we had been to in a long time."
-Billboard.com
“Sxip conjures a world of infernal calliopes and cotton candy machetes wielded by Gypsy crones with angel feet.”
-SF Weekly
“It’s nice to know that in these days of high tech digital music, you can still create sound with something as simple as marbles and kitchen mixing bowls...Think La Monte Young, Tibetan Singing Bowls and the Plate Spinners from the old Ed Sullivan Show. As fascinating to watch as to hear."
-- John Diliberto, Echoes (National Public Radio)
A smart suit.
A table of toys, musical devices, and curiousities.
A maelstrom of beautiful sound.

is an arresting new synthesis of Yiddish folk songs with new music, improvisation and art song. Telling universal stories of pre-war and wartime Jewish life, the songs of beloved Krakow songwriter and poet Mordechai Gebirtig (1877-1942) are given bracingly new perspective by Fox-Rosen and his multi-stylistic ensemble.
"A vivifying concert of old lyrics in new bottles." Zackary Berger
"Improvisation, when done as convincingly as it was here, is a special current animating even overly familiar music. Improvisation and composition combined are the best of both worlds."- Zackary Berger
