Gandalf describes himself as a "painter of musical landscapes". His name originates from Tolkien´s wellknown work "Lord of the Rings".
He's a multi-instrumentalist and plays a great variety of self-owned instruments: acoustic and electric guitars, sitar, saz, charango, bouzuki, balaphon, piano, several synthesizers & sample-keyboards and various percussion instruments. He blends acoustic with electronic and spheric sounds, weaves folk-elements into symphonic structures, creating his unique style that made him become one of todays internationally most successful Austrian musicians.
