BIO
The trombonist, accordionist and composer Alois Eberl was born in Kitzbühel in 1986, where he grew up surrounded by Austrian folk music and classical music. He started playing music together with his father and in the local marching band. At the age of 14, he continued his previous classical training in trombone and accordion at the Tyrolean Music Conservatory and there he discovered his passion for jazz and improvised music. In 2009 Alois completed his studies in Jazz Trombone and classical accordion at the Anton Bruckner University in Linz. Further in 2012 he completed his bachelor´s degree and in 2016 his master´s degree in classical trombone at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg.
Together with cellist, pianist and composer Anna Lang, he founded the duo Sinfonia de Carnaval. Inspired by the expressive tonal discours of Jazz and using different elements of Classical music, Rock and Funk, the duo creates a sonic universe out of the whole soundspectrum of their instruments, which is sometimes also mixed with electronic sounds.
In 2021, he founded the quartet “Alpha Trianguli” together with Florian Klinger, Jakob Kammerer and Philipp Kienberger, allowing him to musically process his inspirations from the cosmos and the starry sky. Inspired by the beauty and vastness of the universe, the Alpha Trianguli quartet begins its journey into the infinity of sound worlds. The four musicians move between earthy, edgy tones around energetic, swirling grooves and floating, calm sound paintings that tell of gazing into the starry night sky.
