The Power of Movements in Plants – Oğuz Büyükberber trio

First put together by “Soundance festival” in Berlin, then got settled as its own thing, this group became the fifth recorded iteration of Oğuz Büyükberber Trio. These three rich musicians investigate the unpredictable combinations of their personal influences and the unspoken agreements that are formed whenever those references overlap. Xenakis, Buddy de Franco, Ali Akbar Khan, Monk, Morton Subotnick… They play with the tension of going with and against those shared vocabulary, and create evolving juxtapositions. Completely improvised without any prior plans, “The Power Of Movement in Plants” breaks the idiomatic conventions of this chamber music setup.
