Projekt Beschreibung

The trio improvisationally interprets compositions by the band leader. While Tobias Meissl provides the initial material and thereby nominally acts as composer, the music is largely conceptualized in a way that it would sound completely different with another ensemble. Were the pieces to be played exactly like they are notated, they would work fine but for the most part that is not the idea. Stylistically, the music is inspired and informed by various traditions, but definitely comes out of a jazz approach of collective music making, while the aim is not any apparent (at least not intentional) allusion to or imitation of any concrete role models, but rather the synthesis of a self-contained sound.
