“The Bird, The Piano & The Drum” (w/ Dabrowski, Wiklund, Heebøll)

January 30, 2017 @ 23:00 - January 31, 2017 @ 00:00

Set in a bastardlike realm of warped acousticallity fused with an unprecendented use of the piano’s low-register, ‘The Bird, The Piano, The Drum’ is the exciting new musical venture embarked upon by Søren Gemmer.

It explores fluid non-metric rhythmic realities, and draws among other sources upon tiny fragments of Messaien’s birdsong piano compositions.

Also, a fiery unit of players, one to behold and hear.

Tomasz Dabrowski (POL) – trumpet // Tobias Wiklund (SWE) – trumpet/flügelhorn // Bjørn Heebøll – drums // SG – electronically manipulated grand piano
