Silvie Courvoisier - Lucas Niggli Sylvie Courvoisier - piano 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 Robert Morgenthaler - alphorn, trombone 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. |

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. |
