Alfred Harth
Good example of an uncompromised improviser, freebop, free music, avant rock and electroacoustics are the main musical languages used by German, now relocated to Seoul, South Korea, Alfred Harth in his saxophone (soprano, alto, tenor and baritone) and clarinet (soprano and bass) playing (not only: he also uses trumpet and trombone). Member of the now extinct art rock band Cassiber, formed by composer and keyboard player Heiner Goebbels, the soloist of the Trio Viriditas has a long career as an explorer of ever new situations, even when revising what was done before – for instance, the remake of Hanns Eisler’s and Bertold Brecht’s compositions and songs he and Goebbels, now very well known in the theatre music field, realised together. The only non-Japanese element of Otomo Yoshihide’s New Jazz Quintet and Ensemble, he was involved in other previous projects of the experimental turntablist and guitarrist.
