Staggered Twisted Angled

Swiss musicians Elio Amberg (EA quartet, Schööf, iety) and David Meier (Schnellertollermeier, Zimmerlin-Stoffner-Meier, LEON) formed their collective trio with California via Brooklyn electric bassist Simon Hanes (Tredici Bacci, Trigger, John Zorn’s bagatelles project) in fall 2018 while on a residency in New York.

They draw on influences as diverse as contemporary classical music, free jazz, punk and rock. The resulting music is improvised, non-idiomatic and combines wild energy with a sharp compositional awareness and subtle use of sound.
The trio will be touring Switzerland, France and Portugal in February 2020 to present their first release on WideEarRecords.

Die Schweizer Musiker Elio Amberg (EA quartet, Schööf, iety) und David Meier (Schnellertollermeier, Zimmerlin-Stoffner-Meier, LEON) formierten dieses Kollektiv-Trio mit dem in Brooklyn lebenden Kalifornischen E-Bassisten Simon Hanes (Tredici Bacci, Trigger, John Zorn’ bagatelles project) im Herbst 2018 während einer Residenz in New York.
In ihrer Musik finden sich Einflüsse von zeitgenössischer klassischer Musik, Free Jazz, Punk und Rock. Das Resultat ist improvisierte, nicht-idiomatische Musik, die rohe Energie mit einem scharfen kompositorischen Bewusstsein und sorgfältige Verwendung von Sounds kombiniert.
Das Trio tourt im Februar 2020 in der Schweiz, Frankreich und Portugal um ihr erstes Album auf WideEarRecords zu präsentieren..
