Since 2006, WISSEL&LYTTON come together to amalgamate their specific musical universes into a dazzling and always unpredictable flow of sounding ideas and associations.
The duo plays on the cutting edge of the NOW with as much energy as they do attention and sensitivity for the sound and the moment.
A special feature of this duo is that percussionist Paul Lytton plays his otherwise rarely experienced table-top percussion here, using carefully selected sound generators of the most varied and astonishing provinciality....

Since 2006, WISSEL&LYTTON come together to amalgamate their specific musical universes into a dazzling and always unpredictable flow of sounding ideas and associations.
The duo plays on the cutting edge of the NOW with as much energy as they do attention and sensitivity for the sound and the moment.
A special feature of this duo is that percussionist Paul Lytton plays his otherwise rarely experienced table-top percussion here, using carefully selected sound generators of the most varied and astonishing provinciality.
Saxophonist Georg Wissel sees himself as a sculptor of compressed air and, in addition to extended playing techniques, also uses a wide variety of utensils to modulate the sound of his instruments.
WISSEL&LYTTON’s set-up thus takes on the character of an (acoustic) workshop, in which the duo goes to work without predetermined concepts or hidden agreements.
All cards are played openly and the audience becomes an equal witness to a highly associative artistic process.
Or as Paul puts it: “This is not about to entertain, but to stimulate the audiences‘ imagination!”
In September 2024 the album Loose Connections will be released, a live recording of a concert from September 29th 2021 at LOFT.
„Wissel’s and Lytton’s set in belgrade was pretty mental. It’s amazing they keep their faces straight while playing such dense, absurdist music. Free improv that makes any sound, no matter how random, become part of their set? Yes please!“
Meho Krljic in Jazzin‘ RS about WISSEL&LYTTON at RingRing Festival, Belgrade, Serbia
Paul Lytton – Percussion
is one of the most distinguished percussionists in improvised music.
Since the mid-sixties Paul Lytton has played with leading English improvisers such as Evan Parker, Derek Bailey, Paul Rutherford, Barry Guy, Howard Riley, Jamie Muir, John Stevens, Trevor Watts….
As early as the beginning of the 1960s, he began to construct his own percussion instruments and to modify naturally produced sounds with electronic means.
To realise his sound ideas, Paul Lytton developed both a new way of playing and a new instrument.
Since the mid-seventies, Paul Lytton has been living in Belgium and has had a long-standing collaboration with the percussionist Paul Lovens.
In addition to the famous trio Paul Lytton, Evan Parker and Barry Guy, the King Ubu Orchestru, the Globe Unity Orchestra, the London Jazz Composers‘ Orchstra and the Schlippenbach Trio, Paul Lytton has toured the world with many other projects.

Georg Wissel – (prepared) alto/tenor saxophone
Inspired by his collaboration with musicians of electro-acoustic music, he began (in addition to working on instrumental playing technique) to search for new sounds by means of preparations, which over time became an integral part of his playing.
Since 2010, working with acousmatic compositions, primarily created with materials from field recordings, has become another focus of his artistic interest.
Wissel works internationally, solo as well as with long and short term projects with …Liz Allbee, Burkhard Beins, George Cremaschi, Nicolas Collins, Gunda Gottschalk, Matthew Goodheart, Lou Grassi, Carl Ludwig Hübsch, Thomas Lehn, Rieko Okuda, Tim Perkis, Melvyn Poore, Johan Vermaelen, ‚London Improvisers Orchestra’…. with concerts in Europe, South America, Asia, Australia and the USA.
