An exciting new trio with an unusual line-up featuring three internationally renowned protagonists of improvised music.
All three have been working together for many years in a wide variety of groups.
Ute Wassermann is a contemporary voice artist. She studied fine arts at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg and completed classical voice training. Her work combines composition, improvisation, sound and performance art.

„Wassermann sings as a bird, rather than like one. And as philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari point out in A Thousand Plateaus, “Becoming is never imitating.” … The Wassermann soundworld takes form within waveflows and fluctuating particles.“

John Butcher is probably the most important British saxophonist after Evan Parker. In his numerous solos, but also in duos and other groups, he has convincingly revolutionized saxophone playing and led it to a new standard. Today people are already talking about a „John Butcher school„. „Hardly anyone who writes about John Butcher fails to mention Evan Parker as a reference point, but although his influence is undeniable, there are significant differences between the two in the application of the ‚extended technique‘. Butcher’s music always seems to be anchored in the space around it: tiny fragments of sound are sent into the ether, multiphonic patterns and unusual harmonies alternate with tense pauses, and clouds of delicate overtones rise from moments of calm and return to them like falling rain. (…)“ Steve Lake
“English saxophonist John Butcher may be among the world’s most influential musicians, operating at the cutting-edge of improvisatory practice since the ‘80s. Whenever an acoustic musician starts to sound like a bank of oscillators, a tropical forest, a brook or an insect factory, Butcher’s influence is likely nearby.” New York City Jazz Record.

Percussionist Martin Blume „is one of the leading representatives of European improvisational music, characterized by his distinctive quasi-compositional sensibility, which points to a close connection to New Music.“ Signal to Noise (US Magazine)
Since the early 1980s he has played in the international context of the avant-garde of jazz, improvised and new music in a wide variety of formations with musicians such as Peter Brötzmann, Peter Kowald, Johannes Bauer, Phil Minton, Lol Coxhill, Georg Gräwe, Jim Denley, Luc Houtkamp, Phil Wachsmann, John Butcher, Thomas Lehn, Xu Feng Xia, Ken Vandermark and Kent Kessler.
„Martin Blume’s playing is characterised by a gossamer aesthetic, whose drive is not just his own rhythmic energy but above all the accord with the other instrumentalists…“ Reinard Kager, SWR
