FM4 Hofmusik: Tony Renaissance

Tue 11.07., 19h l MQ Summer Stage, Main Courtyard l free admission
curated by Dalia Ahmed

Tony Renaissance, alias of musician and artist Tony Wagner, explores the intrinsic connections between soft and harsh sounds while opening space for care and exaltation. Dealing with loss, lust, pain, desire, queer joy and transformation, Tony Renaissance’s sound seeks intensities on an emotional spectrum. Sensitively constructed vocal sample arrangements topped with spoken texts contrast rhythmic noise productions with distorted glitching vocals, pushing pulses up to 163bpm.

Tony is working as promoter, event organizer and co-manager of the Vienna based label Tender Matter within which they are highlighting the work of queer, non-binary, Trans and gender nonconforming artists in electronic music. Tony Renaissance’s EP “Dreamreality” was released in 2020 and their follow up EP “Xxxerberus” in 2022 via Tender Matter.
