Mats Gustafsson & Chistof Kurzmann

In the organizer's words:

STAGE off LIMITS - soundtrips_nrw

CHRISTOF KURZMANN - has long been part of the international improv scene as a laptop musician, is on record in various projects and collaborations, brought the free jazz saxophone into the local pop underground, uses his own pool software and his voice, leads the orchestra 33 1/3 and is a great DJ.

MATS GUSTAFSSON - stayed in Nickelsdorf as a young Swede, is a figurehead of Swedish free jazz, has been awarded the Nordic Council Music Prize and exudes incredible power on stage worldwide.

On their joint record "Falling and five other failings" (2016), the two have succeeded in making an intimate and provocative statement, playing with improvised music, their musical origins, as well as with old and new traditions. The music merges into a cosmos of its own, in which the unknown meets and changes. The duo's second record followed in 2022: "Prosperity".

Is it noise, electro-acoustic, free jazz, rock or just great music?
