About Nabelóse
Nabelóse was born in 2016, when Ingrid Schmoliner and Elena Kakaliagou decided to join forces, in the residency of Artacts in Austria. Friends and colleagues since years, the two musicians were partners of the trio PARA together with the bassist Thomas Stempkowski. Shared aesthetics, cosmotheory and taste in music, guided the way for Schmoliner and Kakaliagou to create together compositions that make time vanish, reconnect to roots, and sing in various languages about nature, feelings and stories. Their debut album „Nabelóse“ at Corvo Records in 2017 received praises and invitations to international concerts in Canada, Austria, Slovenia and Germany. "Nabelóse" s music was used in the film "Araf" by Didem Pekün and "Die Zange" by Iris Baglanea. Nabelóse composed as well the music for the theater play „Jackie“ by Elfride Jelineck.

Elena
Elena was born in Greece in a greek-austrian environment. Starting from very early to trust in becoming a musician, she started her studies on the piano and voice in the age of 5. Years later the smoothness of the french horn sound captured her and guided her through Athens, Graz, Vienna and Helsinki to Berlin. Holding the knowledge of classical studies (BA, MA) she connects the roots of greek folk music to contemporary techniques and musical languages. She is a member of low brass trio Zinc& Copper, P.O.P, Stefan Schultze Large Ensemble and of zeitkratzer. Elena keeps traveling through makro and mikrocosms of sound, connects with nature and tries to enjoy every given instant of making music.
Nabelóse combines prepared grand piano, the french horn and imaginary and mother tongues, to unknown territories of sound by breaking the feeling of measured time and space.
