Rudi Fischerlehner´s playing can be heard on numerous album releases on labels as Clean Feed, Between The Lines, Not Applicable, Klanggalerie, Staatsakt, Creative Sources and Jazzwerkstatt. With various bands and projects he has performed internationally in clubs and at festivals.
"Fischerlehner leaves no issue unattended as far as drumming is concerned, either underlining what his comrades do with conscious respectfulness or exploding into destructive bubbles of counter-rhythms and thump-and-bang punkiness when the going gets tough."
Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes
"He
makes music as if he would produce chance."
