Being off the stage for almost two years, Star Sounds Orchestra with the core-members keyboard-wizzard Steve Schroyder (who was touring with Anne Clark) and gongdrummer Jens Zygar (who did his first movie in between) - due to the longing request of  some good friends - hit the road again and planned for two excellent  summer 2011 events.

Böllerbauer Open Air in austria  came up with a most amazing location; a perfect party-place  with an sophisticated environment of traditional high-end partyfun  applications such as MANY bars,  GOOD grills,  WET stages and inside the  core of everything: the ultimate Chillmachine.

However;  it was raining a lot and not that much people showed up; but those who  where dancing happily in the nightrain, wittnessed a monster-mega-meta SSO-set. Its obvious that SSO still deserves its reputation being a one-of-a-kind live act. Steve, Jens and SSO-teamista number 3 Christian Wagner had  much fun celebrating some new tracks as well as some sort of best-off;  updated and refreshed with new multidimensional sounds. SSO-fans can  expect some new exciting tracks pretty soon!

Being on a festival  is also about meeting old friends - and of course making new friends and  mates; so - it was maximum pleasure to meet our longterm friends from  the french most likeable  HIGHLIGHT TRIBE We had a cool spacy music-session with Greg und Ludo in our local  reheasel-studio; we shared funny stories: my goodness! we had such a  good laugh. Actually we are very keen to see the upcoming HIGHLIGHT TRIBE DVD live in india.

New friend of the summer is the funtastic bandproject GOATICA from russia with mastermind Pawel Mikhailuk. Their set was just  gorgous; we definitly recommend all  our friends to get to see this  energetic real live trance band who actually come up the stage with a  whole bunch of great musicans.

Impossible to visit austria without an official meeting with the local repesentatives from the brotherhood of the cosmic octave; it was a pleasure to receive great supportive help from Ulrich Zenz , whom we definitly recommend as an expert for holistic soundmassages.

At  the end of day it was a weekend worth living. It gave the band a lot of  motivation and inspiration as well to continue Star Sounds Orchestra´s  path of cosmic music.
