"Glassware and As You Were Here are the result of our latest recording session.
Glassware is a composition by Christoph Gallio who was commissioned by Gnom Baden (presenter of composed new music) and the Art Council Of The Canton Aargau (Aargauer Kuratorium). The music was premiered in cooperation with visual artist Caro Niederer in Baden, on December 3rd, 2016. The background of her video was her work "glass interior". The focal point of as you were here is free improvised music.
A mix of improvisations and composed parts of Glassware were compiled to create a whole new thing in As If You Were Here. New in the band is keyboardist Raphael Loher and ECM artist Nicolas Stocker replaces Julian Sartorius on drums."-Percaso
