Biography
The Swiss trio "KOCH-SCHÜTZ-STUDER" has a name on the international scene for it's radical and uncompromising "Hardcore Chambermusic". The three musicians are working together since 1990. Characteristics of their music are hard contrasts, even contradictions. Sequenced sounds from various unrecognisable sources and the use of live-electronics create dense walls of sound which are contrasted with completely acoustic, minimalistic-ambient improvisations.
Analogue ("played") and digital ("programmed") beats are juxtaposed against free "outer-limits"- improvisations. It is a music free of stylistic restrictions. The three accomplished musicians have been working in a "style-free" musical zone for quite some time now and with their live performances at jazz-festivals, in underground rock-and electronic-music-clubs as well as in the context of contemporary "classical" music they are showing that to them an open as well as radical artistic attitude is more important than style-categories or musical genres. Besides their work as a trio, "Koch-Schütz-Studer" have always initiated various projects and worked with musicians/artists from different cultural and artistic backgrounds.
