Loom & Thread
This piano trio centers itself around a different kind of keyboard: the hardware sampler.
A deep exploration into the boundaries of new-age improvisation and an acoustic love letter to more than one musical genre. Tom Schneider, Tobias Fröhlich and Daniel Klein are on a sample-based journey with exploratory joy and earnest sincerity to prove that true musical freedom lies beyond familiar conventions. On their second self-produced release, they transcend the traditional trio format by including samples from saxophone and vibraphone—expanding their musical language within the cracks of sonic conventions, reframing and distorting long-held clichés and imagery from the history of improvised music.
Super Jazz
My environment for exploring improvisation through hybrid drumming systems.
As the boundaries between acoustic and electronic music continue to dissolve, practices are emerging that integrate traditional instrumental performance with sensor-based and digital technologies. One such example is my project Super Jazz, a solo project employing a hybrid setup with Sunhouse Sensory Percussion to investigate extended sonic possibilities and performance modalities.
