Koch, Kocher & Badrutt

Hans Koch, clarinet
Jonas Kocher, accordion
Gaudenz Badrutt, live electronics

Koch, Kocher & Badrutt brilliantly achieve to play a subtle electro-acoustic improvised music, blending acoustic sources and electronics on a surprising way to create a music full of unpredictable events and of particular beauty.

I am stunned by the immediacy of the improvising. They have developed a special way of playing fast and slow simultaneously. It seems to come from a finely tuned interactive understanding, one that makes me think of the Jimmy Giuffre Trio of the early sixties, but with a different arsenal of shapes and textures. Similar reverence for held sounds, extremes of register, brilliant action that ends with a stuck landing.” John Corbett
