The musicians of the vertical orchestra rise up from the stage. Hi-tech steel cable winches and special software are responsible for dynamic and endlessly variable movements in the vertical.

Classic Meets Artistic_Concept and Idea 2009 ©

The spectators experience live surround sound in a new, exorbitant show. 7 musicians and a conductor of the Vertical Orchestra slowly take off from the ground and set off to dizzying heights during their performance.

Impressive tonal collages make a futuristic effect and change the form of their sounds with the choreographed moving images throughout the entire airspace. The individual musicians of the ensemble suddenly break out of the harmonious flow of the performance, play off-key tones and move in an apparently uncontrolled manner through the action area. The conductor attempts to get the outsiders back into the group, but increasingly loses authority over the musical organisation.

Fast somersaults and pirouettes reveal how on edge his nerves are. He impresses the audience with an artistic solo performance that looks like he has lost his mind and then regains his authority.

Hi-tech, artistic virtuosity and impressive music compositions unite into an audiovisual spectacle.

opening new Hungerburgbahn Innsbruck

Hungerburgbahn Innsbruck – official opening

TEAM EXTREME held an astounding show with artistes and musicians on the occasion of the official opening ceremony of the new Hungerburgbahn in Innsbruck. Basis for this rare performance was the idea to include the various building structures and their uniqueness.

Aspects such as movement and dynamics played a decisive role in the planning of star architect „Zaha Hadid’s“ unusual and high alpine traffic project. The bowl constructions which are glassy and freely formed give the impression of floating and lightness.

The combination of hybrid froms with the aesthetics of snow, ice and the alpine landscape formed the contents of the spectacular show production which was created and carried out by TEAM EXTREME.

The start of an artiste on the new Inn bridge and his journey upwards on the 30 m high bridge pylon served as the ignition for an artistic chain reaction which brought the building into the scene in an impressive manner. Pyrotechnic effects triggered the journey of another artiste along a 130m long steel cable which led from of the top of the pylon to the event area and the Austria Trend Hotel at the other end.

This „link up“ turned the focus towards a dynamic performance by the TEAM EXTREME „vertical orchestra“ which took place on the 20m high façade of the Austria Trend Hotel. The 10.000 spectators experienced a world class show with 5 drummers playing live hanging on steel cables and following choreography run by computer.

DHL opens Europe’s most modern air traffic hub in Leipzig
TEAM EXTREME arrives with the „vertical orchestra“ show and is a spectacular feature.

On May 26th 2008 the new European “DHL Air Hub Leipzig“ was opened by Frank Appel, CEO of the Deutsche Post World. Further participants at this opening ceremony were Minister of Transport Wolfgang Tiefensee, Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Prime Ministert Wolfgang Böhmer and 400 other renowned guests from the fields of economy, politics and media. The planning for this major event was entrusted to the agency Kogag Bremshey & Domning GmbH. Crossworks Projects GmbH undertook the technical and logistical advising, planning and carrying out of the event. TEAM EXTREME undertook the transition from the official part to the actual “opening” of the hangar with a surprising flight of 5 drummers from the roof of the hangar from a height of 30m. TEAM EXTREME presented its show “vertical orchestra“very impressively, working together with the musicians of „Power Percussion“ (Music and Performance). The drumming musicians performed live and reached speeds of up to 8m/sec during the programmed vertical flights and continuously changing air pictures. During the two-part performance the flying drummers were sometimes close enough for the audience to touch and this was honoured with resounding applause.

AEROART_ is the symbiosis of swinging trapezes and elastic rubber harnesses. Flying people bring movement to the entire airspace. The aerial manoeuvres of “collision“ and “ramstein,“ which were created by TEAM EXTREME, as well as “catching“ and intertwining synchronous formations are guaranteed to raise the adrenalin level and trigger euphoric waves of enthusiasm.

In this show – which is unique in Europe – 4 male and female artists fly above the heads of the audience. At heights between 3 and 16 metres and with horizontal swing amplitudes of 16 metres, they reach speeds of up to 60 km/h.
