Recorded live at Studio+Atelier SCHINDLER in Krailing/Munich, Germany, on May 13th, 2025, by Udo Schindler,
Recorded live at Studio+Atelier SCHINDLER in Krailing near Munich, Analytical Pre-Summer Retreat documents an exploratory duo meeting between German reedist Udo Schindler and guitarist Andreas Willers. Both musicians are long-standing figures in the European avant improv scene, bringing decades of experience in experimental jazz, contemporary composition, and electroacoustic performance to this intimate encounter.
Schindler moves between tenor saxophone, clarinet, piccolo flute, and cornet, shaping a shifting palette of breath-driven textures and extended techniques. Willers responds on electric guitar and electronic devices, using prepared sounds, signal processing, and unconventional gestures to construct an evolving sonic environment around Schindler's lines.
Rather than conventional themes or structures, the duo works through attentive listening and spontaneous reaction, building the music from subtle gestures, fragmented motifs, and shifting timbral contrasts. Moments of sparse, microscopic sound exploration gradually open into denser passages where reed multiphonics, buzzing brass tones, and electronically treated guitar merge into layered improvisational structures.
The result is a focused and inquisitive dialogue where acoustic and electric timbres intersect, revealing two improvisers investigating the edges of sound with curiosity, precision, and a quietly intense collaborative spirit.
