Low Potion
On acoustic-electric journeys Austrian musicians Anna Widauer and Chris Norz tell the story of a
sad balloon, search for eternal beauty in artificial languages. They travel in dreamy fantasies from
the purple fields of France to a tiled insane asylum. The work of the duo is shaped by Chris Norz's rythmic and compositional diversity. In combination with Anna Widauer's touching lyrics that reflect her affinity for literature, the musicians develop very personal and unconventional songs. Though highly emotional, the music stays authentic in it's simplicity.
Music industry constitutes an important driving force of the European culture. Over the last few decades, it has changed significantly, being now at a point of rethinking itself. Especially now, this industry is facing challenges that are putting its future at risk. The ongoing crisis has unearthed the already existing problems of our sector that need to be addressed systematically and holistically. Footprints is a new collaborative project that aims at reforming the music sector and introducing the values of social, economic and environmental responsibility to its activities.

I've been working in the music industry for two decades now. Classically started with living the rock'n'roll dream in my teenager years and promoting shows with friends in my hometown Innsbruck in Austria, I moved to Vienna and London to study musicology, got into tour management and took on several more tasks over the years such as live booking, PR & label activities. Based on those experiences and a gaining international network within the industry I'm proud to be representing a very talented pool of musicians and composers based in Austria and the UK.
