Hungarian born/German based guitarist Ferenc Snétberger and German trumpeter Markus Stockhausen have been making music together for many years, most recently on Joyosa (Enja, 2004), where they were joined by Norwegian bassist Arild Andersen and French percussionist Patrice Héral. Joyosa, a cooperative focusing on the writing of everyone involved, contrasts sharply with Karta (ECM, 2000) where the trio of Stockhausen, Andersen and Héral recruited electric guitarist Terje Rypdal instead of Snétberger and, with live electronics also a part of the ...

La collaborazione tra Ferenc Snétberger e Markus Stockhausen è di vecchia data. Il loro primo duetto risale al 1999, anno di registrazione di For My People.

On Es war einmal Stockhausen leads a bass-less trio, armed with golden-toned sound and lyrically charged articulations. His penchant for morphing variable tones and pitches spawns into multidirectional frameworks, ...

The sign of true artistry in music is the ability to transcend boundaries and be as broad as possible. While there are those who work endlessly to hone the finer points of a particular style, arguably the ones who make the most impact are those who can rise above disposition and blend into any context. Even more remarkable is a group of musicians who have already created a work in a specific genre, and show the capability of migrating as ...

Stockhausen/Andersen/Heral/Rypdal: Karta

Trumpeter Markus Stockhausen (son of contemporary composer Karlheinz Stockhausen), bassist Arlid Anderson and percussionist/live electronics performer Patrice Heral have been touring as a unit since 1998. However, at the behest of ECM producer Manfred Eicher, the inestimable Norwegian electric guitarist Terje Rypdal joins the trio for the inaugural Karta, which is Sanskrit for “higher power," as the musicians do, indeed, perform with an elevated sense of vitality.

The quartet executes multihued tonalities in concert with exasperating ...
