about

In the late 1990ies I searched for improvising musicians outside Jazz and so-called Western cultural environments. Eager to learn new perspectives on music (without blundering into the trap of cliches or cultural appropriation) I met Indian/American trumpet player Rajesh Metha, Turkish singer Saadet Türköz, Indian sitar-player Subroto Roy Chauwdhuri and Chinese guzheng-player Xu Fengxia.

With Xu (from Shanghai) I did some concerts in different settings, with Urs Leimgruber, Luigi Archetti, Gunda Gottschalk. But mostly it was just Xu & me, playing adventurous, excessive and lush concerts, sometimes struggling to find a common language.
On LOOKING we decided to play short pieces, which worked wonderful! This is one of my favorite recordings.

Beautiful sonorities and acute listening have turned this album into one of 2003’s best improv records.
