Description

Hans Koch: bass clarinet
Gaudenz Badrutt: electronics
Jonas Kocher: accordion

Playing since 2014, this trio consists of three major figures of the Swiss improvised music scene. Koch, Kocher & Badrutt play a subtle electro-acoustic improvised music, blending acoustic sources and electronics in a surprising way to create a music full of unpredictable events. Their second release is called Archytas Curve.

Hans Koch (*1948, bass clarinet, saxophone, electronics) is mainly known as a member of the Hardcore Chambermusic Trio Koch-Schütz-Studer, but also as a soloist as well as for his collaborations with Phil Minton, Fred Frith, Paul Lovens etc. As a bass clarinet player he has developed a very personal style.

The electronic musician Gaudenz Badrutt (*1972) is mainly known as one half of the electroacoustic duo strøm (together with Christian Müller, electronics and bass clarinet), as well as soloist, member of Koch, Kocher & Badrutt or the Baldrian Quartet. Gaudenz Badrutt?s music is coined by a very instrumental use of computer/live sampling and electronic devices.

Jonas Kocher?s work explores the relationships between tone, noise and silence and the process of listening, this as improviser as well as in his compositions. As accordionist he works exclusively in improvised and conceptual contexts. Plays with Jacques Demierre, Axel Dörner etc.
