New ensemble with six prominent improv musicians from Europe and the US.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the BIMHUIS Productions series REFLEX we invite musicians to reflect on the world and society. The curator of this edition is pianist Marta Warelis. She formed a group with well-known improvising musicians from various cities including Amsterdam and Chicago. They depart from silence, elements of folk and deep grooves, towards freedom and transformation.
In this new band, Marta Warelis places her piano and synthesizer opposite the clarinets of Karen Ng and Ab Baars and the trumpet of Ben Lamar Gay, which appears as a singing voice. The fundament is laid by bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten and drummer Frank Rosaly.
Marta Warelis has a strong preference for improvisation and experiment in all kinds of styles. She continuously aims for instant composing on the basis of new sounds and influences. The Polish-born improviser explores the timbral possibilities of the acoustic piano on the one hand, and the electronic synthesizer on the other. Since 2019 she’s part of the Amsterdam-based improv collective Doek.
