JOHAN HOFFMANN

Guitarist Johan Hoffmann explores the musical universe of Beverly Hills, 90210, working exclusively with tonal material from the series themesong. Through kitsch and humor as artistic devices, the concert moves between rockguitar clichés and forbidden guitarlicks. The improvisational elements take inspiration from the emotional states and dramatic aesthetics of the soap opera genre, as well as the relationships, conflicts and emotional experiences of the series characters. The project is a part of an ongoing search for the sweet spot between humor and seriousness, and for his own artistic position within that tension.
