Silvie Courvoisier - Lucas Niggli

Sylvie Courvoisier - piano
Lucas Niggli - drums

The degree of fusion between these two musical personalities is amazing. This however is a necessary prerequisite for this tightrope dance with neither net nor security. The team play with Sylvie Courvoirser and Lucas Niggli is marked by a high formal consciousness, by brisk turns, beautiful sounds, by humour and discipline.

Roots of communications

Roots of communications

Robert Morgenthaler - alphorn, trombone
Jean-Jacques Pedretti - alphorn, trombone
Lucas Niggli - drums, percussion

In diesem speziellen Trio steht das Schlagzeug dem meditativen, schattigen Klang zweier Alphörner gegenüber, setzt Kontraste und Spitzlichter. Posaunen und magisch klingende Muschelhörner erweitern das Klangspektrum. Die Kompositionen von Roots of Communication sind inspiriert von Jazz, Klassik traditioneller Alphornliteratur sowie asiatischer, afrikanischer und europäischer Volksmusik.

Pierre Favre - percussion
Lucas Niggli - percussion

A research lab for forms of team play and the possibilities of percussion. The two drum poets condense complex rhythms into an orchestral whole and create many- layered sounds and rhythms from their instruments. A forest of drums with a lot of inspiration and verve.
