Blockwerk is visionary, striving from the island of concealed concentration to the mountain of shared disclosure, thirsty for meaningfulness in music, individually seeking out new electronical paths through the same old jungle of timeless music.
As we all know music is so much more than just a consumer good for shaking that booody. It is a door to another dimension of experience. Music is inspiration and might even show you the way to go, rrright? There are too many great styles and genres to get stuck wirh only one of them. That's why Blockwerk comes in different colours with lots of different ideas and in lots of different moods.
Blockwerk is confident, that the massive out there is ready for this kind of approach towards music so there is no reason for us to hold it back any longer.

Why this name?
Blockwerk is a mobile organ from the mid-ages. We had to do with such a blockwerk when we went to school, and we simply liked the idea of havind a mobile organ.
Do you play live?
Yes of course. We love playing live. Special moments happen at every concert :-)
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
a lot - i work for a digital music service provider. if you observe the music market you can see the growing percentage of turnover reached in the digital music sector
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
rather not, but maybe - it strongly depends on the conditions...
Band History:
Blockwerk momentarily consists of five artists. Blockwerk came to life in about 1992 when a group of visionary music college students started putting their ideas into action.
After their graduation the founders of blockwerk came to Vienna, where new musicians joined in. The superfluity of new urban sounds and the influences of the new crew members had an intensive impact on Blockwerk's musical path. Sounds changed, styles changed and because of Blockwerk's ingenuousness and the fact that every band member came from a quite different musical background, things really started stirring up. And they haven't cooled down since...
The EP From the island to the mountain released on Oddtime Records features the tracks Jah Sunshine (with MC COALMAN), Timeless and Inner Peace
