In the beginning, there was a story. Strange Stars were founded in 2010 by Anastassia Biederstaedt (AnasthaZia) and Christian Biederstaedt. On stage, Strange Stars tell the story of a alchemist’s apprentice Miss Ana Stassia, played by AnasthaZia, and the sound alchemist Maestro BD, played by Christian Biederstaedt. As far as the question of genre is concerned, Strange Stars are hard to classify. They are definitely 'postmodern' and experimental, for music takes center stage for its own sake. Music is defined as the 'alchemy of sounds.' Diverse genres and acoustic colors are assigned to diverse musical elements. Symphonic sounds, rap and operatic voice, metal, techno and blues, synths and 'handmade' music, melody and rhythm – the listeners encounter all of these. This variety of genres can be accounted for by the musical openness which unites the makers of Strange Stars.
