Recorded at Freies Musikzentrum Munchen (FMZ), in Munich, Germany, September 23rd, 2023, by Udo Schindler.
The album quotes Danish painter & sculptor Asgar Jorn: "To get anywhere, one must choose one's mistakes. I chose experimental acts." Experimental is the key from the trio of Udo Schindler on alto sax, bass & double bass clarinets & cornet, Eric Zwang Eriksson on drums and Ardhi Engl on self invented instruments, with Nikolaus Neuser joining on trumpet for one quartet piece. Resembling jazz but taking a much broader and often idiosyncratic approach, these recordings are captured live at Freies Musikzentrum Munchen (FMZ), in Munich. Over 3 masterfully risk-taking sound poems the ensemble leverages their unusual and unpredictable orchestration, from the deepest clarinets to the most unusual of sound makers, with Eriksson punctuating and urging the players on with deep drumming. Truly captivating work.
Artist Biographies
• Show Bio for Udo Schindler "Udo Schindler is a German improvisation musicians (bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet, saxophone, flute, cornet, also accordion, guitar, percussion, analog synthesizer) and architect. Schindler was active in the 1970s in Franconia first as rock and rock jazz musician before he had flute lessons at the conservatory Nuremberg. Subsequently, he studied architecture at the Technical University of Munich and worked as an architect. In the 1990s he turned to contemporary music (Arch.Ensemble) and improvised music (Schindler.Interferenz.3). In addition to the single tube instruments (saxophones and clarinets), he studied the cornet. In addition to his sound research, he also worked as a director, performer, musician and composer for various theater productions. In the following years he performed with solo and duo projects at new music festivals (Musica Viva, Klangaktionen, etc ...), jazz, experimental music, among others. This led to collaborations with musicians like Hubert Bergmann, Gerry Hemingway, Eddie Prevost, Sebi Tramontana, Georg Wissel, John Russell, Blaise Siwula, Frank Gratkowski, Hans Koch, Urs Leimgruber, Elisabeth Harnik, Katharina Weber and Frank Paul Schubert. In addition to his activities in solid cast he initiated in Munich a series of concerts to free improvisation in ad hoc to test instrumentation." ^ Hide Bio for Udo Schindler • Show Bio for Eric Zwang Eriksson "Interweaving two distinct forms of creative expression, Eric Zwang-Eriksson aka EaZy aka Klangwahn fashions a variety of audio-visual installations. Likewise, he works with performers, authors and theaters as a musician and a composer. The artist's approach is shaped by his 30 years' experience in improvised music." Translated by Sylvia Charbonnier ^ Hide Bio for Eric Zwang Eriksson • Show Bio for Ardhi Engl "Ardhi Engls is a guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, a developer of instruments, and producer of theater dance video performance. He is involved with experimental music, jazz, classical, improvised music or pure sound research. As a musical accompanist he toured the country with Gerhard Polt, he doesn't have any reservations, because his music is nameless in a positive sense, or to put it another way: he invents "drawers" that don't exist, shouldn't even exist. In addition to the guitar - which he studied classically at the Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich - mostly self-made instruments are used. No material, no thing is safe from him, no sound is unthinkable for him. Ardhi Engl writes and performs for contemporary dance and theatre. Through his presence he is music theater personified, he merges with the stage, he is "music dancer" and "music actor". He expands his more recent works for the stage with "handmade" videos, played live on the computer in parallel, in addition to musical instruments - music for the eyes. The inventiveness of Ardhi Engl, the resulting sounds and the musical forms are almost endless. His sound spaces give an idea of the infinity of the world." ^ Hide Bio for Ardhi Engl • Show Bio for Nikolaus Neuser "Nikolaus Neuser (* 1972 in Siegen ) is a German jazzmusician ( trumpet, wing horn ).
