ÄBE brings collectively three like-minded and idiosyncratic
improvisers-sound artists – French percussionist Camille Émaille, identified
for her collaborations with Peter Brötzmann, Lê Quah Ninh, Fritz Hauser
and Fred Frith (she additionally took the quilt pictures for ÄBE), Viennese
turntables wizard dieb13 (aka Dieter Kovačič) who has labored with Phil
Minton, Mats Gustafsson, John Butcher and Burkhard Stangle, and Swiss
reeds participant Hans Koch, who has labored with Cecil Taylor, Frith,
co-founder of the trio Koch-Schütz-Studer, identified additionally for his work with
electronics as an extension of the saxes and clarinets in addition to with
sampling, sequencing and laptop computer.

This experimental, free improvising trio has been working since 2020 and
ÄBE fits debut launch. It was recorded at two performances in
Switzerland – at e Singe in Biel/Biene (the hometown of Koch) in January
2022 and at Postremise in Chur, a 12 months later in January 2023. Koch and
Kovačič (with Martin Siewert) combined and mastered the 11 items of ÄBE.
dieb13 will host Émaille and Koch within the premiere of his work “Beatnik
Manifesto”, with a forged of worldwide improvisers together with Minton,
Sandy Ewen and Anna Högberg on the upcoming Music Limitless competition in
Wels, Austria.

Émaille, dieb13 and Koch examine, deconstruct and reconstruct and
sculpt collectively fragile, on a regular basis life sounds and noises. Not one of the
sounds is standard. Koch employs an array of prolonged respiratory
strategies that transforms the sounds of his soprano sax, clarinet and
bass clarinet into summary, digital music. Émaille’s delicate and
sparse touches of percussive units and devices introduce sudden
and bizarre, resonating mechanical patterns to the music and dieb13
intensifies this intriguing mixture of radical sounds with exact doses of
otherworldly noises.

The dynamics of this trio are principally delicate, affected person and mysterious,
reflecting a singular sense of deep listening and a extremely imaginative and
usually cinematic sonic imaginative and prescient, however change into unsettling, wilder and extra
pressing in the direction of the tip of the album. This trio creates its very personal
sonic universes, with its personal inside logic and its personal city sonic
tales. One of many items is titled, “Parc du Jura”, and ÄBE is certainly
a radical park of radical sounds and noises.
