it comes to such gigs is that I prepare the first 3 songs I will play, in that specific order. It helps to gain confidence, a technique that I borrowed from my teenage years when I was a goalkeeper in football. My warm-up was never too risky as I didn’t want to fail any of the exercises that my trainer was making me do. It was important to succeed at everything from the very beginning to feel strong and confident for the whole match. That’s basically the same idea applied in the music field.”
FROM EUROPE TO THE WORLD: THE GET—TRAUM JOURNEY
The launch of get—traum in Europe marked a major milestone for Traumer, as he navigated the comple- xities of event organization and promotion. Despi- te initial hurdles, the label’s meteoric rise speaks to Traumer’s unwavering determination and passion for pushing musical boundaries.
“The main objective for us was to have a strong start. So, we had to convince a lot of clubs and promoters all at once, with almost no background as promoters. But to be honest, this hasn’t been that difficult. We were happy by the number of clubs that were excited about hosting a get-traum showcase, which increased our confidence in the project even more!”
EMBRACING THE FESTIVAL SPIRIT
As Traumer prepares for festivals like the Monegros Desert Festival in 2024, he embraces the challenge of adapting his performance to expansive settings. Balancing artistic integrity with crowd engagement, he seeks to captivate audiences on the grandest of stages.
“I cannot say that I have been a “festival act” in my career. I have not played a lot of big stage festivals. Not because I do not like them, but I don’t know, I just haven’t played them a lot. Although I do like intimate or
these larger-scale festivals. It’s a totally different approach with the crowd. First, you’re somehow quite disconnected from them because of the distance between the dance floor and the stage, so you have to try to reconnect with them through the music. That implies not playing the same tracks as if you were in a 200-capacity room, but still without compromising your artistic values. It all comes down to the music, once again, you need to catch people’s attention more efficiently and accurately because at big festivals there are multiple stages, and the audience can come and go.”
ANTRAUM: A NEW CHAPTER UNFOLDS
Venturing into uncharted territory, Traumer prepares for his inaugural live performance as Antraum, a collaboration with fellow artist Anton. With a blend of technical innovation and creative experimentation, they set the stage for a mesmerizing debut.
“We first needed to find a technical structure: What role will we both play? What gear should we use in order to showcase our vision of this project in the best way possible and make it a memorable experience for our dear crowd who will see the show for the first time?
semi-intimate parties, I started to appreciate
