ON THE OUTER EDGES OF EUROPE
(Traumzeit-Festival)
"As regards the highlights of the "Traumzeit-Festival" in Duisburg there is no doubt: the most fascinating contribution came from Dortmund. Together with his four fellow percussionists (Carlo Rizzo, Okay Temiz, Mel Mercier, Rui Junior) and the famous Turkish-Bulgarian singer Yildiz Ibrahimova, Christoph Haberer managed to create an incredibly complex, non-abstract network of sound which, in contrast to many percussion projects, obviously makes use of the multi-faceted European rhythm traditions between Ireland and Portugal, Sicily and Turkey. "An den Rändern Europas (On the outer edges of Europe)", but right in the middle of time."
