Performing on Thursday 27th September
Daniel Weltlinger
Weltlinger’s unique sound has been regularly featured on radio and television worldwide and was featured on the award winning soundtrack composed by Nikko Weidemann and Mario Kamien for the hit TV show ‘Babylon Berlin‘ directed by Tom Tykwer, Achim von Borries and Henk Handloegten which premiered in October 2017 on the Sky Television Network. Further film, documentary and theatre soundtrack credentials have included, amongst others, ‘Love My Way’ (Stephen Rae), ‘The Underpants’ (Alan John), ‘Uncle Chatzkel’ (Guy Gross), ‘Peking To Paris’ (Roger Mason), ‘The Cat That Walked By Himself’ (Peter Winkler) and ‘Meet The Waks Family’ (Neill Duncan). Weltlinger is endorsed by a number of top international companies and benefited in 2010-2017 from the support of BNP Paribas in Australia and the BNP Paribas Foundation in Paris for the development of a trilogy of recordings – ‘Souvenirs’ (2011), ‘Koblenz’ (2014) and ‘Samoreau‘ (2017) – in which he wrote original music and arrangements inspired by the music of the legendary Belgian born Manouche guitarist-composer Django Reinhardt. He produced a 4th studio album ‘Szolnok’ which in music tells the remarkable true story of his grandfather’s Hungarian violin, which generated a further sponsorship from BNP Paribas in Central Europe in late 2018 and was released on May 3rd, 2019. Weltlinger is a co-composer with Australian producer-composer Bruce Maginnis for the international production music library houses Audio Network, Fable, Cavendish Music, The Funky Junkies, Intervox, Focus Music and The Home of Happy.
'If you can make sound tell a story, it becomes music, and were Daniel Weltlinger, not a musician, he would still be a story-teller…he uses notes the way a supremely elegant writer – say, Austen or Orwell – uses words, so the sounds, rhythms and sentence constructions dovetail with the meaning so perfectly that the reader’s eye dances effortlessly along each line.’
