More Info

On «Fidel» KOCH-SCHÜTZ-STUDER carry on the adventure they began with «HARDCORE CHAMBERMUSIC». Again acoustic instruments and modern technology are confronted. The meeting with eighteen traditional and improvising Cuban musicans, in the recording studio in Havana led to extraordinary results.
The trio KOCH-SCHÜTZ-STUDER’s love for the polyrhythms of Afro-Cuban music is evident, and the enthusiasm and musical openess of the Cubans is brilliant. Comparable to film technics, KOCH-SCHÜTZ-STUDER worked on the tapes recorded in Havana and formed the final compositions. With great skill they inject Afro-Cuban music and jazz improvisation with electronical sound worlds and rythmicla expolsions.
