They are on spring tour through Europe now, stopping also in Prague. This married duo \u2013 German rocker <strong>Daniel Benjamin<\/strong> and Greece dancer <strong>Eleni Stavros<\/strong> \u2013 is able to bring the magic to the stage, with their airy vocals and the knowledge to play 5 instruments at the same time. They don\u2019t need samplers; they just need an acoustic guitar, cembalo, organ, drums and a glockenspiel. Their music is described as atmospheric indie rock with cembalo, <!--more-->inspired by the baroque melodies of J.S.Bach and the Berlin Krautrock. \u201cWe\u2019re sick of the loop station and things like that,\u201d Daniel said. \u201cYou can do all of this on your own if you practice enough. Two people can sound like a whole band, we just needed to rehearse for a year.\u201d You think, that baroque is not really up to date anymore? Come and see for yourself. And be amazed, when Eleni is playing with her right hand cembalo and with her left hand the drums and Daniel play the drums, guitar and sings at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>They are playing together for 10 years now, but started the project Sea +Air 3 years ago. For the first time they met in a punk rock band. Eleni\u2019s first musical experience was screaming in a hardcore band when she was 19. \u201cWe\u2019ve always been experimenting with music, it was never like we only wanted to do this or that,\u201d Eleni said. \u201cWe were totally open to any kind of music.\u201c<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YnXM7ABspXg\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nTheir first attempt to perform as a duo came when they were supporting Whitney Houston during her European tour in 2010. Since then, Sea + Air has opened for the White Stripes, the Flaming Lips and Sufjan Stevens. It was also a great impulse to record their first album \u201cMy Heart\u2019s Sich Chord\u201d in 2010. Last year they had their Czech premiere at <strong>Colours of Ostrava<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tBX3QiFBQLY\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The most important cultural artifact for Sea + Air is the harpsichord, the classical sound of which is a major factor in their sound. \u201cIt\u2019s my dad\u2019s, and it\u2019s always been in our living room so I could always play on it,\u201d Daniel said. \u201cWe\u2019ve always listened the Bach\u2019s harpsichord concerto in my childhood, so that\u2019s something that\u2019s always been in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ku93emi84fk\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>To see the unique art of Sea + Air come on Sunday to the LMB.
