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
Superimposing a digital agend onto non linear impovisation concepts on drums.
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 Daniel Klein’s Super Jazz, a solo project employing a hybrid setup and Sunhouse Sensory Percussion to investigate extended sonic possibilities and performance modalities.
