QUARZZ.
In the past years, the musicians have played just a few times before in this setup; yet sometimes, a few years need to pass until you realize that you’ve got something great right there — which is exactly what happened in the case of this quartet. Now that it got re-initiated, they have great ambitions and will be presenting an album this year.
Almut Kühne (voc)
Silke Eberhard (reeds)
Volker Meitz (keys, talkbox)
Yorgos Dimitriadis (drums, microphones)
The concept involves a great deal of improvisation, using compositional elements as starting or landing points. Given the personalities of the four musicians (who are no strangers to the scene), we can expect fresh, inspiring music — with Eberhard & Kühne completely in the acoustic realm, Dimitriadis expanding the palette using amplified close-mik’ing of his drums combined with effects, and Meitz mostly coming in from the electric / electronic department, yet also seeking connection with Kühne’s vocals by virtue of his talkbox.
