Szymon pimpon. Szymon Gasiorek: drums, percussion, etc. A Polish drummer and composer. In April 2022 he released his debut solo album "Pozdrawiam" (ENG: Greetings) on Pointless Geometry.
Sonically innovative, rich in genre, the material combines heavy percussive rhythms with electronic sequences, abstract synthesizer passages, noise, field recordings, static textures, as well as a pop sensibility channeled through autotuned vocals. The album sits comfortably between pop aesthetics, trancelike quality, and experimentation. The album was followed by b-day EP released in 2023 on Love & Beauty Music. Szymon studied at the Rytmisk Musikkonservatorium in Copenhagen. He leads bands such as the post-jazz outfit Pimpono Ensemble, or E/I, engaged in minimalistic music.
"It's a pop album, it's a highly intricat
e sound art album and it's a virtuoso psychedelic percussion album all in one. (...) But Pimpon's real triumph isn't the sonic diversity, it's how it congeals into a coherent and singular world." - Daryl Worthington, The Quietus

THE HITE WOUSE FEAT. BEN RODNEY
Ben Rodney: trumpet / Jon Lipscomb: guitar / Fredrik Håkansson: drums / Asger Thomsen: bass
The Hite Wouse is an American-Swedish-Danish electric powerhouse trio improvising on the verge of far-out abstraction and almost-quantifiable nothingness. In other words: Stuff you want to play out in the Mojave desert, burning sun, people sweating so much that they dont have any tears left when the shit really hits them.

TACTICAL MAYBE
Tactical Maybe is the collective name of the sonic nexus points located between two pairs of beings known as: Halym and Nana Pi Aabo-Kim, and Louise Dam Eckardt Jensen and Tom Blancarte, whose global roots in USA, Germany, Denmark, Mexico and South Korea, combine and meet within the experimental and improvised music scenes of Denmark. Their music presents a multiverse of possibilities navigated by a quatrologue of choices informed by lives lived in a multitude of musics, resulting in a pulsating expanse of actions and non-actions, pitches and textures, sounds and space.
"If anyone is wondering what exciting free jazz in 2022 is, just open your ears and your other senses to Tactical Maybe - they sure have served up something that could be the answer to that very question." - Tor Hammerø Musikk/Fritt Frem, 2022
Line-up:
Louise Dam Eckardt Jensen (DK/US) - alto, baritone, soprano saxophones, flute, alto clarinet, voice, electronics
Nana Pi Aabo-Kim (DK) - tenor saxophone, voice, objects
Tom Blancarte (US) - bass & euphonium
Halym Aabo-Kim (DE) - drums

STURE ERICSON
Sture Ericson - as, ts, cl, bcl, free improviser, has been active on the European scene for many years. Emerged with the Swedish group Position Alpha in the 80-s, and has been playing in The Electrics, a quartet with Axel Dörner, Joe Williamson and Raymond Strid since 2000. Ericson has been active in a great number of collaborations - ad hoc as well as working bands - with improvisers like Fred Lonberg Holm, Derek Bailey, Otomo Yoshihide, Paul Lovens, John Edwards, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, Roger Turner, Phil Minton, Johannes Bauer, Tony Buck, Martin Klapper, John Butcher, David Stackenäs and numerous others.
Ericson has developed a personal expression on saxes and clarinet, including various extended technics, preparations and deconstructions of the instruments. Lately he has started experimenting with live electronics in combination with the instruments. More traditional approaches, like free jazz and jazz, are also a part of his musical palette.
