"At the very end of his garden, well hidden behind the bushes, pianist Michel Wintsch has installed an illegal distillery, where he takes refuge as an assiduous alchemist. He combines acoustic keyboards, analog and synthetic, strings and skins, and then diverts a range of implements in order to create a free flowing network. He uses it shamelessly until he extracts a concentrate of scathing attacks with an unlisted alcohol content from its phonic clusters. His piano, extended as well as prepared, is a percussion orchestra that the composer and unique performer conducts, sometimes with the help of drum elements and sensory prostheses of various materials."-Leo Records
Artist Biographies
• Show Bio for Michel Wintsch "Pianist and composer Michel Wintsch's unflagging inspiration springs from a rich and varied musical background. Linking jazz tradition with the raw power of "progressive" rock, freewheeling improvisation with the rigors of orchestral composition, virtuoso playing with digital editing and mixing techniques, he takes an approach that is both syncretic and poetic. A way of composing that leaves plenty of creative space to fellow musicians, yet establishes a style that is his alone. He has been touring regularly with the WHO trio, among others, for the past 10 years on a worldwide scale. He has published many records and played with many musicians (Fred Frith, Han Bennink, Michel Doneda etc). He has worked as a composer for cinema (Alain Tanner), theatre and ballet as well as many other musical projects." ^ Hide Bio for Michel Wintsch
