Hydroglisseur are back on the trail of new unknown sound species for an upcoming EP. “Only the Brave” is a foretaste of what Hydroglisseur might sound like in 2016.

My very dear friend and fellow composer Birke J. Bertelsmeier recorded my piano piece “You saw me die every Night”, composed in 2014 for the project Glassworlds. Merci beaucoup Birke.

“Le Dilemme” was composed in 2009 and expresses the doubts of a composer torn between his wish to be seen as “avant-garde” and his strong bond to tradition. This is the premiere by French violist Chloé Parisot on the 20th of December 2015 at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Leipzig.

My work for music and photography “Agnes (in Redemption)” will be exhibited from the 1st December 2015 until the 30th of January 2016 in the Galerie Christine Knauber in Berlin. The public opening is tonight from 6 pm on.

TimeGeist puts a great bill together showing a wide spectrum of today’s improvisation, with several generations of musicians embracing different tactical approaches:

SJJL: Sven-Åke Johansson (SE)/Justin Lépany (FR) – drums & electric guitar
Werner Dafeldecker (AT) – double bass
Birke Bertelsmeier (DE) – spinet
Hydroglisseur: Christoph Enzel (DE)/Justin Lépany (FR) – baritone saxophone & electric guitar
Julia Reidy (AU) – 12-string acoustic guitar
