The duo is translucent and light formula, first communication nucleus, distance to live, exploration of a moment-built spaces. Duo is a pure modality, where catching inner voices, subtle tones moves. Sanding tones, sculpted light, earthquake’s delight. Dialogical to welcome and fuse the silences with sounds. Two instruments, a soprano sax and a trombone, without any rhythmic or harmonic support, played with a contemporary attitude, in a composed and improvised score, including originals and a couple of tunes by Steve Lacy two sounds, friends & enemies, two sides: instinctive & direct vs elegant & mindy, really blade runners.

One way ticket is a compendium of Gianni’s quest on the soprano sax. Besides those already mentioned, there are compositions by Monk, S.Lacy, and D.Ellington. A varied and unusual repertory tackled with innovativeness and inventiveness. The use of extended techniques, the result of intense hard work on the instrument, is never “encyclopaedic”, but a function of an aesthetics that looks carefully at the relationship between monodic sound and silence.

This is house (construction) music. Frank Lloyd said,“Architecture is frozen music”, and in this sense the architect/musician Udo Schindler and the americanist and jazz critic Stephan Richter interact on this little and subtile free-jazz project as an end in itself.” — felix) freiStil-MAGAZIN FÜR MUSIK Nr.14, Juli 2007

“schindler / holzbauer / lillmeyer” is a trio that was formed following the musicians’ successful collaboration as members of the ‘Munich Instant Orchestra’. Defining influences for their improvised chamber music include the confrontation of the players’ respective musical roots (free jazz, ancient, experimental and contemporary music), electronic and acoustic sounds, augmented playing techniques (multiphonics, micro¬tonality, preparations, electronic sound design) and the masking and pseudo-concealment of a sound’s origins.
