ENSEMBLE SOUS-SOL
The Ensemble Sous-Sol is a collective that has been dedicated to the study of improvisation as a musical art form for 12 years. The motivated and idiosyncratic ensemble meets regularly in Natalie Peters’ studio in Locarno to pursue their research. The music they play, deepen and intensify is deeply connected to the personalities of the participants and their everyday experiences.
For Natalie Peters, who directs this project, creative music is first and foremost a medium for subtler levels in human communication. For her, the practice of listening is a key to an Authentic Music
that is connected to fellow human beings and world events, but also activates a deep interpersonal dialogue. Real listening opens, expands perception and refreshes thinking. The collective draws its motivation from this approach.
The collective has already performed with top musicians such as Barre Phillips, Joelle Léandre, Alexander von Schlippenbach, Gerry Hemingway, Paul Lovens, Michel Doneda, Urs Leimgruber, Harry Sjöström or the Trio DDK.
Anyone who has heard the ensemble knows how unique its concerts are.
