The instrumentation of the SCHUBERT-RUPP-OHLMEIER trio carries the idea of a classical piano trio (violin, piano, cello) further into contemporary improvisational music and, with the diverse expressive possibilities of soprano saxophone, bass clarinet and electric guitar, opens up completely new possibilities for transforming the colour of individual notes and combined sounds into a lively texture, free of stylistic or dramaturgical restrictions.
The intrinsic tonal vocabulary of the individual instruments is on an equal footing with extended playing techniques and both are used exclusively to shape a radically unconditioned sound progression. The result is a very multifaceted collective sound that is always in motion and always poses the right questions to the listener’s expectations in a fascinating way.
