Elgar is Hans Koch on Bass Clarinet, Flo Stoffner on Guitar, and Lionel Friedli on drums.
This instrumental european free improv trio is a powerhouse, visiting the states for a spring tour.
The trio feels most at home in the midst of a conflict, in the twilight zone between brute power and fragile sound structures, between highly compressed sound and transparent lines, between pulsating beats and free improvisation. Never dry up the curiosity and appetite for new sounds; Every concert is a new research on the edge of the possible, of the beautiful and sometimes bearable.
