Bex Burch & Simon Popp

Simon Popp first invited Bex Burch to collaborate at the Munich-based improvisation seriesPercussive Maintenancelast year. A powerful meeting on whichthis duo continues to build; sharing a deep fascination and joyful curiosity for sound,playand improvisation. In their duo, their distinct musical languages merge, playing between structure and freedom, tension and release, sounds and rhythm. Both artists have been nominated for this year's Deutscher Jazzpreis.

Whether combining the rhythmic timbres of wood, metal and audience claps or duetting with the atmospheric and elegiac echoed sounds of water dripping into a metal basin, Bex Burch is a composer, percussionist, producer and improviser who emphasises space, repetition and aspects of chaos.

Munich-based drummer and composer Simon Popp navigates polyrhythmic structures with a keen sense of timing and atmosphere. He contrasts earthy and airy sounds, blurs the boundaries between the electronic and acoustic worlds, and makes a powerful statement about what contemporary percussion music can be.Popp studied jazz drumming in Munich and explores the intersections of jazz, ambient, and electronic music through his solo work and projects such as Fazer, 9ms, Poeji, and Polygonia & Popp.
