HYB4 Hudba: HYBRID SESSIONS #42

Hybrid Sessions is a monthly series at Kampus Hybernská. We feature an opening improvised duo set with two musicians coming from different backgrounds to form a new constellation. Afterwards, we host a jam session open to all musicians, regardless of background. We want to create an open environment where musicians feel free to be creative in the moment, nothing is predetermined and the only expectation is a high level of presence. A basic backline will be provided.

This time, saxophonist Jon Raskin and composer and guitarist Torsten Papenheim will perform.

We want to create an environment for creative creation in the present moment, nothing is predetermined, the only goal is to be highly qualified to be in the open. The starting backline (bicí, guitar combos, PA, piano) is assured. We are open to your suggestions on the composition of bands, but we still want the event to remain an experimental open platform, so we would like to avoid the performances of existing bodies...

• Jon Raskin has been a member of the Rova Saxophone Quartet for the past 42 years and explores the relationship between improvisation and composition, develops and refines the language of ensemble music, and explores the linguistic possibilities of the saxophone. He has performed and/or recorded with Anthony Braxton, Fred Frith, Sam Rivers, Tim Bern, Phillip Johnston, Leo Smith, Frank Gratkowsi, Phillip Greenlief, and Henry Kaiser.
• Music of the Berlin composer and guitarist Torstena Papenheim is located somewhere between melody and noise — either as a combination or counterpoint. His music can be heard on several records and in recent years he has played numerous concerts in Germany, across Europe and Japan.
