Jean-Philipp Gross (FR)

At the crossroads of electronic and instrumental music, Jean-Philippe Gross develops a physical relationship with sound, playing with ruptures and acoustic phenomena.

In concert, he collaborates with Stéphane Garin (Dénombrement & Plan affine), eRikm, Clare Cooper (Nevers), Camille Mutel (dance), Jean-Luc Guionnet, Marc Baron …

Never locked into any systematism, Jean-Philippe Gross allows himself the extremes to take advantage of a wide field of possibilities and pays particular attention to the timbre, the grain and the quality of the sound, even rough. He works for dance, has composed for small ensembles (Dedalus ensemble, Phonoscopie).

From October 2001 to June 2009 he was engaged as a music program curator for Fragment (Metz, France). In 2019, he started the record label Eich.

LEIB (CH)

Leib is a Swiss trio, consisting of Kevin Sommer (clarinet), Cyrill Ferrari (guitar) and Lukas Briner (drums). The band creates its music collectively, with the three musicians exhausting the repertoire of their instruments, expanding it with speakers and tape recorders, and blending their sounds into a new common sonic language. For four years Leib have been persistently researching their band sound, tinkering with new textures and sounds live and in rehearsal rooms, searching for ways to rethink improvised music. Recently their first LP "Mother Hologram / Sister Anagram" was released on the Argentinian label Neue Numeral.

Kevin Sommer - clarinet
Cyril Ferrari - guitar
Lukas Briner - drums

Two internationally renowned improvisers use the energy of the moment and bring us on a journey between the different styles of music they both represent. In their musical approach they use elements of Folk music from their countries of origin (Iran and Greece), as well as Contemporary and Experimental music.
