ReinfriedB's, alias Reinfried Bartholomäus, musikalische Reise begann mit dem klassischen Violinspiel, wobei ein Jahrzehnt des Trainings den Grundstein für ein lebenslanges Engagement für den künstlerischen Ausdruck legte.
Der Weg führte zum klassischen Klavier und zum Schlagzeug, die beide zu einem wachsenden Repertoire an Fähigkeiten beitrugen. Die Gitarre wurde in den frühen Zwanzigern zu einem ständigen Begleiter, und mit 30 fügten die mitreißenden Rhythmen des Boogie-Woogie-Pianos der musikalischen Identität von reinfriedB eine verspielte und zugleich komplexe Ebene hinzu.
Die Klangpalette von reinfriedB spiegelt eine eklektische Mischung von Einflüssen wider, die von den elektronischen Klanglandschaften von Massive Attack, The Notwist und NTO über die rhythmischen Komplexitäten von Jazzpianisten bis hin zur mitreißenden Energie des Boogie-Woogie-Pianos reicht.
Ob als Mitwirkender bei der französischen Chanson-Gruppe „www.sansfacon.de“, als Beatgeber für Jazz-Bigbands oder als Klavierbegleiter für Chöre – reinfriedB blüht in der kollaborativen Energie auf, die vielfältige musikalische Landschaften durchdringt.
Die Essenz von reinfriedBs Live-Auftritten fängt die erschienene Live-CD „spheric journey“ ein. Diese Aufnahme ist ein Zeugnis der elektrisierenden Verschmelzung von elektronischen Beats und Live-Instrumentierung und schafft ein immersives Erlebnis, das die traditionellen Grenzen des Genres überschreitet.
Die Zusammenarbeit mit weltklasse Mastering Ingenieur Julian Lowe aus London, https://jmlmastering.com (Amy Winehouse, RobbieW, Faithless, Sugarbabes, Live8 u.v.m) ist ein weiterer Meilenstein in der Karriere von ReinfriedB.
Die Reise geht weiter mit bevorstehenden Live-Konzerten, die eine unvergessliche Fusion aus elektronischer Musik und Live Performance, ergänzt durch faszinierende Lichtinstallationen, versprechen.
ReinfriedB produziert stets Studiotracks in professioneller Qualität innerhalb verschiedener Genres.

English:
ReinfriedB's—aka Reinfried Bartholomäus—musical journey began with classical violin, where a decade of training laid the foundation for a lifelong commitment to artistic expression.
The path led to classical piano and drums, both of which contributed to a growing repertoire of skills. The guitar became a constant companion in his early twenties, and by age 30, the rousing rhythms of boogie-woogie piano added a playful yet complex layer to reinfriedB’s musical identity.
reinfriedB’s sonic palette reflects an eclectic mix of influences, ranging from the electronic soundscapes of Massive Attack, The Notwist, and NTO, to the rhythmic complexities of jazz pianists, to the rousing energy of boogie-woogie piano.
Whether as a collaborator with the French chanson group “www.sansfacon.de,” as a drummer for jazz big bands, or as a piano accompanist for choirs—reinfriedB thrives on the collaborative energy that permeates diverse musical landscapes.
The essence of reinfriedB’s live performances is captured on the recently released live CD “spheric journey.” This recording is a testament to the electrifying fusion of electronic beats and live instrumentation, creating an immersive experience that transcends the traditional boundaries of the genre.
