MEIER, HANES & AMBERG - STAGGERED TWISTED ANGLED

  • meier, hanes & amberg: staggered twisted angled
        (2020, cd, switzerland, wide ear records)

David Meier (drums), Simon Hanes (electric bass) and Elio Amberg (tenor saxophone) released "Staggered Twisted Angled" on the Zürich, Switzerland-based Wide Ear Records earlier this year.

Swiss musicians Elio Amberg (EA quartet, Schööf, iety) and David Meier (Schnellertollermeier, Zimmerlin-Stoffner-Meier, LEON) formed their collective trio with California via Brooklyn electric bassist Simon Hanes (Tredici Bacci, Trigger, John Zorn’s bagatelles project) in fall 2018 while on a residency in New York.
They draw on influences as diverse as contemporary classical music, free jazz, punk and rock. The resulting music is improvised, non-idiomatic and combines wild energy with a sharp compositional awareness and subtle use of sound.

7 pieces. 7 experimental puzzles.
Fascinating.
