Sound and Motion

This trio - occupied with the relationship between sound and movement - works with an intense contemporary chamber-musical expression infused with Almut Kuhne's exceptional voice and surgical precision, Francesco Bigoni's motion controlled processing of his horns and Mark Solborg's ripe prepared acoustic guitars.

In 2020 guitarist and composer Mark Solborg invited the virtuoso german singer to join him and Italian reedman Bigoni in Denmark for interpretations of the works of Willumsen and German painter Kirchner. Since then the collaboration has continued across the Danish/German border. Supported by a research grant from Goethe Institut Dänemark and the Neustart exchange platform the group has recently presented their work at sold out venues in Copenhagen Jazzfestival, Cologne Jazzweek, Nordische Botschaften Berlin a.o. A new album is in the pipeline for 2023.
