::::::::::::::
The performance of Kaja Draksler and Eve Risser is a rare meeting of two of Europe’s most distinctive and adventurous pianists. To Pianos is both a celebration and an exploration of the instrument. Working side by side at two grand pianos, they venture into uncharted sonic terrain — through prepared techniques, inner-piano manipulations, and intense dialogic interplay — constructing a living architecture of resonance, timbre, space, and silence. The result is music of exceptional subtlety and intensity: at once microscopic and expansive, rigorous and playful, deeply human and strangely mechanical. All while retaining their individual voices within a shared, selfless creation.
::::::::::::::
After their celebrated duo recordings (Edge of the Light with Lotte Anker and Dancing Like Dust with Núria Andorrà), guitarist Fred Frith now brings these musical partnerships together in Frelonia, an electrifying trio of improvisers. Here, three unique voices converge to create volatile textures, sudden convergences, and unrepeatable moments of sound. Expect unpredictable energy, radical empathy, and fierce attention.
