Drummer and Producer Gregor Hilbe has created a catalogue of productions in many different aesthetic and ethnic contexts over years of shaping a personal musical language. Taking lessons with Jojo Mayer at 16 and following his footsteps as drummer of the Vienna Art Orchestra went along with countless freelance activities including performances in 4 continents with many renowned artists. 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. Further collaborations were “Avril” with Laurent Garnier’s Label F-Comm followed by extensive touring (Glastonbury, Montreux, Dour etc.). The cosmopolitan history of the family and the 20 years spent in Paris, London & Berlin have shaped a sound, that connects the zeitgeist with ethnic influences.
