Hendrik Eichler is a drummer/composer based in Cologne (GER), who is active in the modern creative music scene around Germany and Netherlands, performing at major Dutch jazz festivals, like inJazz, Mondriaan Jazz Festival, Make it Jazz Festival, North sea Jazz Festival, and in clubs like domicil Dortmund, Jazzschmiede Düsseldorf, Loch Wuppertal, Jazzkeller Krefeld, Brebl Nijmegen (NL) and more.
On Dimensions he explores both tonal and active playing through two three-part works, bridged by two standalone works. Using both extended and traditional techniques, Eichler evolves his larger works, using diverse approaches to his playing from enigmatic environments using bowed cymbals and recessed rhythms, augmented by percussive elements and spacious reverb, to extremely active and assertive playing based around solid rhythmic foundations. Electronics and voice occasionally intervene, for effect and drama, reminding at times of Paul Loven's work on White Noise.
Mysterious with a dark twist to his compositions, there is much to find fascinating in Eichler's work.
