The artist's voice -Podcast

The Artist's voice is a platform for artists to talk about and showcase their form of art. Inviting all artists to express their love for what they do and use this platform to give an insight into their world. All dancers, choreographers, teachers, musicians, singers, composers, creators of art; this is the place to show and tell.

The Artist’s voice

Inspired during the initial COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020, my project was sparked by witnessing the struggles of my children, ballet dancers at the Vienna State Opera, unable to practice their craft due to isolation. Initially a small photography endeavor, capturing artists at their windows, it swiftly transformed into a symbol of solidarity for the arts community.

The repercussions of this pandemic will echo throughout the artistic and cultural sectors for years to come. Thus, I felt compelled to shed light on the plight of creative individuals and organizations, advocating for their recognition and support. Through this project, I aimed to amplify artists' voices, offering a platform for their stories and perspectives. If they can't grace the stage, they should still be seen and heard.

Vienna, a bastion of culture, served as a fitting backdrop for my efforts, with its rich artistic heritage and diverse community. I've photographed over 500 artists, including musicians, dancers, and opera stars, alongside ambassadors from various nations, all standing in solidarity with Vienna's artistic community.

The arts, often overlooked, are integral to society's fabric, shaping our collective identity and enriching our lives. They transcend language and borders, offering solace and inspiration in times of turmoil. By spotlighting Vienna's cultural legacy, I hope to instill a greater appreciation for the arts worldwide. Moreover, I've witnessed firsthand the resilience of artists in the face of adversity. Despite canceled performances and financial hardships, their unwavering passion for their craft fuels a newfound creativity. Their optimism is palpable, radiating hope through every photograph.

Through this project, I aim to educate future generations on the importance of the arts, advocating for its integration into education systems worldwide. By nurturing creativity and fostering appreciation for the arts, we can build a more empathetic and harmonious society.Ultimately, my goal is to spark dialogue and action, ensuring that the arts and artists are valued and supported in our modern world. Through interviews with artists globally, I seek to understand their experiences and explore solutions for securing the future of the arts.

In essence, this project is a testament to the resilience and vitality of the human spirit, as embodied by artists around the world. Their stories remind us of the transformative power of art and the boundless possibilities it offers for a brighter future."

 

Consti Dillenz - Merging the elegance of classical music with the raw power of rock music.

Consti Dillenz, a talented guitarist hailing from Stuttgart, has carved a unique niche for himself in the world of music by blending the rugged energy of rock with the refined elegance of classical compositions on the electric guitar. His musical journey was ignited by the iconic film "School of Rock," which inspired him to pick up the guitar and explore the vast landscape of music. The movie's celebration of rock's rebellious spirit sparked a passion in Consti, but it was the delicate and intricate nature of classical music that truly captivated his artistic soul.

Fascinated by the contrast between the raw power of rock and the subtle beauty of classical melodies, Consti has dedicated himself to merging these seemingly disparate genres. His performances are a testament to this fusion, where the electric guitar becomes a vessel for expressing the complexities and nuances of classical music while maintaining the intensity and drive of rock.

In addition to his solo work, Consti is an accomplished guitarist in several rock bands, where he channels his love for rock music. However, his true passion lies in his own compositions, where he can fully explore and refine his distinctive style. He dreams of focusing more on his original music, pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved on the electric guitar by infusing it with classical sensibilities.

Beyond his work as a performer, Consti is also a dedicated music teacher. He takes great pride in sharing his knowledge and passion with aspiring musicians, helping them discover their own voices and encouraging them to experiment with different genres, just as he has done. His teaching is not just about technique but also about inspiring creativity and fostering a deep appreciation for the rich tapestry of musical styles that exist.
