"Listening to this music means encountering a quartet that, over the course of four years, has developed a shared language aimed not at recognizability but at presence. It emerges from being there: from four people in a room, from air, wood, metal, skins, vibrations, and attention. Perhaps that is the true subject of this album: listening. Not the passive listening of those seated in the audience, but the listening of the musicians themselves. A kind of listening so intense that the boundaries between reacting and initiating, leading and following, individual and collective begin to dissolve. Improvisation is often misunderstood. The word tends to evoke notions of spontaneity, freedom, perhaps even arbitrariness. Yet free improvisation often entails precisely the opposite: it demands discipline, patience, and extensive experience. "You don't think about yourself," says Heinz Geisser. "You are with the others."-Sophie Emilie Beha

I work internationally as a solo artist, with the band Ensemble 5 and as a sideman; an extensive discography on labels such as Leo Records, Hat Hut, Unit Records and TCB documents this work. My music is inspired by everyday life and I look for illiteral or musical answers to the questions: What are we and what depths of passion, feeling, perception and thought can we reach? My goal is to play clearly, concretely and directly. Without intention and in unconditional sincerity towards reality, in order to get closer to the point at which what is hidden behind concepts, ideologies, styles or common listening expectations becomes audible. In order to develop a personal and new music/musical language, I research the musical tradition, current musical trends, groove/time, sound and the way the bass is played in relation to this. At the age of eight I started playing the cello and discovered chamber music, and at the age of 15 I switched to the double bass and jazz. From 2003 to 2008 I studied at the Basel University of Music, Jazz Department, and since 2008 I have been working as a freelance bassist, stylistically independent." ^ Hide Bio for Fridolin Blumer • Show Bio for Heinz Geisser "Heinz Geisser is a Swiss jazz guitarist, drummer and percussionist, born August 16, 1961 in Zürich, Switzerland." ^ Hide Bio for Heinz Geisser
