Bio
Absolute Autonomy
As steadily as the earth turns our human world changes too. As conscious beings we can't escape our duty to examine our ever-evolving social, moral, physical and technological landscape.
Absolute Autonomy is a multi-layered view of the world, portraying the wonder, confusion, frustration, humor and beauty of being alive on earth at this time in human history. It's honest and unafraid to state its case.
This music was not created just to satisfy market trends. A beat you'll recognize, words you might have heard before, rhymes you can anticipate the first time you hear them. Listen to an acoustic guitar track just as closely as you listen to the lyrics of a song. Ditto the drums and other supporting instruments. Each element needs the other to make something greater than the mere sum of the parts.
Absolute Autonomy has developed more into a concept and a brand than merely a band name or the name of a newly released CD. It’s about entertainment which is not so commercial that it has become mindless without meaning or purpose. It’s for those with an open mind who want something truly original, fresh and meaningful.
Manfred is a singer/songwriter/musician whose original acoustic guitar style and unique vocal are woven into a tapestry of music that acts as a voice for his social commentary. His music has an acoustic feel that is uniquely Manfred Zipfel and always conveys the mood of the song. This talent has given him the opportunity to compose and produce music for advertisements and documentaries as well as two complete CD’s and a DVD featuring his own work. CHECK IT OUT ON YOU TUBE!!!
