More Info

Following their acclaimed 2018 debut album, the band Punkt.Vrt.Plastik, which brings together Kaja Draksler, Pet- ter Eldh and Christian Lillinger, three of the most exciting, profound and versatile musicians on the European jazz scene, presents another stroke of genius.
With Somit they take their urgent ensemble playing to new heights, creating a highly individual sound aesthetic with unusual instrumentation (Kaja Draksler plays two different upright pianos) and sophisticated post-production, culmina- ting in a deceptive puzzle of acoustic and manipulated sounds.
"Punkt.Vrt.Plastik have an amazing sound and a unique vision," writes Alexander Hawkins in the liner notes.

Extended Technique
Mar 30, 2023 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Music

Extended Technique, a joint product of the Classical and New Music departments, is dedicated to the elevation, exploration, and advancement of “contemporary” “classical” “music” as understood by WKCR programmers. This show challenges the binary distinction between the "classical" and "experimental" traditions as a dedicated space for the 20th-century avant-garde and “traditional contemporary classical" with an emphasis on the work of present-day composers and performers.

LES 40 ALBUMS DE L'ANNÉE

2021: ET POURTANT ILS TOURNENT

<< On ne peut que s'étonner que depuis quelques années qu'elle se fait remarquer, la pianiste Kaja Daksler n'ait pas reçu en France un accueil plus massif tant, elle joue si bien des musiques souvent captivantes >>

Torniamo sulle uscite della Intakt per tre album molto diversi fra loro pubblicati dall'etichetta svizzera nel 2021. In due puntate del settembre 2020 che si possono trovare in podcast - ci eravamo occupati dei due precedenti album per la Intakt del sax tenore afroamericano James Brandon Lewis, uno dei personaggi più in vista del jazz di oggi: il nuovo album, realizzato con il suo quartetto regolare con il pianista Aruan Ortiz, il bassista Brad Jones e il batterista Chad Taylor si intitola Code of Being. Uno degli album che hanno fatto più effetto quest'anno, e non solo fra le produzioni Intakt, è la seconda uscita del trio Punkt Vrt Plastik, formato dalla pianista slovena Kaja Draksler, dal bassista svedese Petter Eldh e dal batterista tedesco Christian Lillinger: molto appassionante sia il pianismo della Draksler che l'interplay del trio, con il modo non convenzionale di procedere di basso e batteria. Infine un corroborante doppio cd, Road, di Fred Frith, grande chitarrista e sperimentatore: un cd in trio con basso e batteria, l'altro con l'aggiunta al trio della sassofonista danese Lotte Anker o della trombettista portoghese Susana Santos Silva.

Second disque du trio Punky.Vrt.Plastik qui réunit la Slovène Kaja Draksler au piano droit et la rythmique allemande Peter Eldh (contrebasse) et Christian Lillinger (batterie, percussions). Les compositions sont partagées : entre quatre pour la pianiste, deux pour le bassiste, et sept pour le batteur, lesquelles, assez répétitives, s’accordent bien au jeu de piano rapide, à la frappe serrée et insistante, et à sa sonorité claironnante. Tantôt, poussé par la rythmique, on avance au pas de course, tantôt on se promène... mais l’on ne s’ennuie jamais à l’écoute de ce disque très original et qui possède son unité. Un parti-pris assumé.
