Live and act

Haberer studied at the Swiss Jazz School and the Cologne University of Music . He went on tour with Benny Bailey , Lee Konitz and Frank Wunsch , James Newton and with Peter Giger's “Family of Percussion”. In 1980 he played the solo record "Drümmele Maa". In 1984 he founded his eponymous group ("Villa Rhododendron", 1986), with which he performed at the JazzFest Berlin together with the Cologne saxophone mafia and the Congolese drumming group "Elima" . With “Drümmele Maa”, to which Stefan Bauer and Ramesh Shotham belonged, he went on several international tours and played with Greetje Bijma at the Münster Jazz Festival and with the brass players Paul van Kemenade , Michael Heupel and Reiner Winterschladen at the JazzFest Berlin. Since 1989 he can be heard in various projects with Matthias Frey , such as appearances together with the writer Wole Soyinka . At the MusikTriennale Köln 1994 he appeared together with Trilok Gurtu , Naná Vasconcelos and Moussa Cissoko. At the end of the 1990s he worked under the name At the Rands of Europe with the percussionists Carlo Rizzo , Okay Temiz , Mel Mercier , Rui Júnior and the Turkish-Bulgarian singer Yildiz Ibrahimova. He also works solo, using analog and digital synthesizers and sequencer pads since the nineties , which are set up next to the drums in a precisely defined order and struck with the drumsticks or hands. Today, Christoph Haberer plays a polyrhythmic, computer-aided, but also live-controlled music, occasionally in his Quartet Banda Unica with Michael Heupel, Nicolao Valiensi and Carlo Rizzo or in one of Norbert Stein's Pata projects .
