contemporary jazz, folk, avantgarde, heavy metal

Five individuals create an explosive mixture between composed and improvised music. A band of established masters from the german jazzscene, who combine selfreliant improvisations, jazz-basics, technical perfection, soundphantasy and avantgarde music - that’s really an “experimentle”! (which means “small experiment” in Swabian!)

Minimal Music, Jazz Standards, rusty dusty Countrysounds, New Music, Folk, Loops, Live-Electronics....

Strange contradictions as well as absurd contrasts are working here in a foregone conclusion, melting to an incredible unity.
Besides orchestral sound walls and polyphonic cascades on the basis of loops and multiple delays the guitar is also to be experienced always in her pure and most intimate form:
Fragile, plain, touching, breathtaking.

big band.....

its very hot and very soft, it rocks, it swings!
This experimental orchestra with its leaders and composers Katrin Scherer and Sven Decker is very selfreliant and very cool!!

The Bliss

wild, eccentric, authentic, soft, dissonant, confounded, ecstasized, blissful.... the latest projekt of the saxophonist and composer Katrin Scherer.

Sirius B

In his brand-new project drummer Bernd Oezsevim brings together some of the most exciting improvisors of the topical new German jazz scene.
Innovative improvisation concepts are constantly investigated to surprise in breathtaking manner over and over again.
The collective aim: The free flight!
 

The Dorf

Jan Klare makes the impossible happen!

“The Dorf" (formerly known as the "Off Domicil Orchestra") can be described as a band of jazz adventurers under the direction of Jan Klare, monthly playing in the Dortmund jazz club domicil since November 2006.
Every 3rd Thursday in the month an open pool of musicians come togehter. In the afternoon different concepts of improvisation as well as also composed pieces are rehearsed and then performed in the evening.
In the meantime a firm core emerged and the repertoire strengthened.
First concerts outside the Domicil e.g. on the JOE festival Esssen led to inspired reactions.

Music for drumset, double bass
and different guitars

Ludicrous compositions, unconventional improvisations, by the way also sometimes a jazz standard embedded in unusual sounds, always risky and constantly looking for every possible playing option in contemporary improvisation: “FREIE WAHL”  (which means “FREE CHOICE”)
