The trio brings together three distinctive voices from the contemporary improvised music scene: Harri Sjöström on soprano and sopranino saxophones, Libero Mureddu on piano, and Olli Moilanen on electric guitar and bass recorder. Coming from different generations and musical backgrounds, the three musicians meet in an open setting where timbre, texture, silence, density and spontaneous interaction become the material of the music. The performance unfolds entirely in the moment, moving freely between fragile and concentrated sounds, abrupt gestures and more expansive sonic spaces.

HOT HEROS – Contemporary Jazz from Finnland

Sami Sippola sax / Ville Rauhala b / Janne Tuomi dr, perc

Das Trio HOT HEROS gründete sich 2015 in Tampere und besteht aus dem Saxophonisten Sami Sippola, dem Kontrabassisten Ville Rauhala und dem Drummer und Percussionisten Janne Tuomi. Alle drei gehören zur Spitze der Jazzmusiker in Finnland, haben mit diversen Stars gespielt und einige Aufnahmen veröffentlicht.

HOT HEROS begannen mit eher frei improvisiertem Jazz, änderten dann ihren Sound hin zu folk-basierten Themen und lyrischeren Kompositionen, auf deren Basis sie zu ihren weit gedehnten, manchmal exstatischen Improvisationen abheben. HOT HEROS selbst haben schon acht Alben herausgebracht. Das zweite Album ‘Folkjazz From Finland’ wurde für den Jazz-Emma in 2018 nominiert; auf dem vierten Album ‘Vodjanoi’ spielt die berühmte Pianistin Iro Haarla mit.

In Berlin spielen die HOT HEROS folkig angehauchten Jazz, der mit lyrischen Kompositionen und freieren Improvisationen glänzt.

Das Konzert findet in Kooperation mit der Deutsch – Finnischen Gesellschaft Berlin-Brandenburg e.V. statt.

Eintritt: frei, Buchung enes kostenfreien Tickets erforderlich

SPRING CLAMP 5.5.2025

Warm welcome to SPRING CLAMP

Mon 5.5.2025, doors 17:30

A sound filled evening with good times, performances by three Finnish groups Timate ynts, Blowjob and uRge as well as a sound sculpture by Araiké Da Silva that can be activated during the event.

Timate ynts is an improvised experimental group whose music is mostly based around synths, detuned guitars, field recordings and vocals. https://timateynts.bandcamp.com/

Blowjob is an experimental woodwind trio that plays minimalistic self-written and improvised music/sound-based pieces. Their style flirts with pop, renaissance and contemporary classical music, tied together with soft ambient drone aesthetic. The ensemble consists of a clarinet, a bass recorder and a bassoon.

uRge is a duo that explores the interfaces between performance and concert through playful and feminist lens by making visible hidden performative practices of music. They actively seek to dismantle masculine and essentializing notions of “pure music” associated with classical music as well as experimental electronic music. In practice, they work with techniques such as analogue sound synthesis, digital sound processing, experimental microphone techniques, acoustic instruments and text.

Doors 17.30

Musiker, Komponist

Gratkowski erforscht Klänge und arbeitet stets an der Erweiterung seines Klangrepertoires und der Auslotung der Töne, die er auf seinen Instrumenten erzeugen kann. Besonders solo und in kleinen Besetzungen fällt die Klarheit seines Tones auf. Seine zum Teil mikrotonal orientierten Kompositionen führt er auch mit dem Multiple Joy[ce] Orchestra auf.

Gratkowski spielt in einer Reihe von verschiedenen Ensemblen; darunter seit 1999 im Duo mit Sebi Tramontana. Er ist auf fast jedem deutschen und auf vielzähligen internationalen Jazz- und Neue-Musik-Festivals aufgetreten, darunter in Vancouver, Toronto, Chicago, New York, Seattle, Quebec, Les Mans, Muelhuus, Groeningen, Nickelsdorf, Barcelona, Litauen, Warschau, Zagreb, Prag, Bratislawa, Sofia, Bukarest, Odessa, Huddersfield, London.

Er hat Saxofon und Ensemble an den Konservatorien in Köln, Berlin und Arnhem unterrichtet und gibt Workshops rund um die Welt.

Gratkowski lebt in Berlin.
