Alessandro Bosetti: soprano sax. Michael Thieke: clarinet. Sabine Vogel: flute. Michael Griener: percussion. Recorded 9/2/2003 by Ronny Trocker at studio P4, Berlin. 'Space as a musical parameter is something that has long been neglected in recordings of acoustic improvised music. Since, dynamic, attack, sound-color, rythm and duration are commonly regarded as the elements that constitute and give form to what you find in such a recording, the feeling and the use of space has been seldom fully c…

A constant migration (between reality and fiction)
The last release might be a bit of a surprise, since Adriano Zanni, also known as Punck, is not exactly the man I would expect on this all improvisation label.
