Duo Ullip & Craven
Contemporary Punks
A meeting in December 2019 led to a collaboration between Ullip and Steven Craven. Craven is a member of the Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra and has worked there for well over 30 years. He previously played in the Real Philharmonic Orchestra London and various other high-class ensembles. A classical specialist through and through. This promised to be very exciting, because Ullip has been a proven sound designer and improvisation musician for over 40 years. Slowed down by the pandemic at the beginning of 2020, they worked from home and Steven sent Ullip his tracks via the internet. Ullip then incorporated them into the backings he produced, resulting in truly magical pieces that were released on the album Cronicals. The collaboration was then intensified, as far as Steven's job in the orchestra allowed. Ullip produced all the backings and backing tracks and designed all the PR and graphics for the joint work. Steven took care of the PR in Spanish and the Primo for gigs in the region. It was a good working situation that produced many fruitful results. Punk meets classic, very fitting and yet so different. Driven by a creative force, the two developed their own sound world. Ullip worked on the album Planet Suit for almost 2 years to produce this music, which is so far removed from the mainstream. The term contemporary classic took on a new meaning. With the Soundgarden Project, they consistently continued the next stage of development and another new direction was taken. The album Both Sides Now was created in collaboration with other musicians from around the world. It was released on CD. Ullip took care of all the design, mastering and production. Steven contributed his grandiose virtuosity on flugelhorn and trumpet. The result was of the highest calibre. At the moment the two have joined forces with Barnim Schultze from the Akasha Project and are now taking off into spheres where the navigator of life does not yet know where it is going
