Markus Stockhausen / Vladyslav Sendecki / Arild Andersen / Patrice Heral: Electric Treasures

by John Kelman
September 25, 2008

It's not uncommon to find bassists and drummers who work together so well that they become almost inseparable; often hired together because of their distinctive simpatico. It's rarer to find full groups with their own signature, expanding their vernacular by recruiting others for alternate ideas. Trumpeter Markus Stockhausen, bassist Arild Andersen and percussionist Patrice Heral have been working together since 1998 but, despite a singular aesthetic, it's their guest collaborators who have helped build a small but diverse body of ...

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. Da allora i due hanno continuato ad incontrarsi ed a sviluppare questo dialogo, a far convergere in un linguaggio comune esperienze spesso lontane tra loro. L'album raccoglie due composizioni di Snétberger (la traccia 2 e la traccia 10), due composizioni di Stockhausen (la traccia 3 e la traccia 9) e sei brani a firma ...

Stockhausen - Comisso - Thome: Es war einmal

German trumpeter and composer Markus Stockhausen doesn't rest on his famous father and classical composer Karlheinz Stockhausen's laurels. With a hearty discography for this record label amid stints for ECM Records, ENJA and other well-known Germany-based outlets, the trumpeter has crafted a stylistic persona within the progressive jazz idiom.

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, ...

Stockhausen/Snetberger/Andersen/Heral: Joyosa

by John Kelman
June 25, 2004

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

by Glenn Astarita
March 1, 2001

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 ...
