The trio of Coudoux/Pi/Thomsen is the sound of bold risks and highly dynamic interplay. With a chamberlike instrumentation and a desire to go to the extreme possibilities of acoustic sound production this trio is a feast for open ears.
Elisabeth Coudoux is very interested in free improvised music, which for her initially represents a dialogue of intuitive and compositional ideas together with artists and musiciansin the first moment. She released her solo album "Some Poems" in 2016, where Elisabeth Coudoux is "...showing off her own distinct voice on cello.” - Kevin Whitehead.
Elisabeth Coudoux is leader of Emiszatett, part of Zeitkratzer, and is playing international concerts for more than 15 years.
Asger Thomsen is a bass player and composer living in Copenhagen, Denmark. He works primarily in the field of contemporary improvised music and free jazz. His style is characterised by a physical, detail-oriented approach and a rich palette of sounds...
