Christian Moser

Christian Moser is an oudplayer and improviser. His particular interests concern the cultivating of musical mindsets that go beyond the dualism of tradition/presence, being/becoming, immancence/transcendence. In his youth he studied violin. At the age of 18 he started playing the oud and from 2005-2010 he studied Turkish Music at the I.T.Ü. conservatory in Istanbul with Abdi Coskun, Mutlu Torun and Mehmet Bitmez. In 2020 he graduated with a Master of Art in specialized performance / free improvisation. His mentors were Alfred Zimmerlin and Fred Frith. Christian Moser lives and works in Basel, plays in various ensembles throughout Europe, composes music for film and dance.

Album Review

Umiak: Irrlicht

Read "Irrlicht" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


"L'umiak--ci viene detto--è un elegante e delicato battello aperto utilizzato dagli Inuit e dagli Yupik (popoli eschimesi canadesi, ndr) per il trasporto e la caccia. La barca è alimentata da diverse persone che remano e una che guida. Un accordo simile a quello del trio Umiak." Che sta poi per la trentatreenne sassofonista Eva-Maria Karbacher e il settantenne violoncellista Alfred Zimmerlin, entrambi zurighesi, più il quarantacinquenne Christian Moser, suonatore di oud e a sua volta svizzero (di Basilea).
