Xavier Charles, Ivar Grydeland, Christian Wallumrod & Ingar Zach - Dans Les Arbres

Guitarist Ivar Grydeland and percussionist Ingar Zach, prime movers and catalysts for free improvised music in Norway, got in touch with Christian Wallumr�d after hearing his �Sofienberg Variations� on ECM and they have since worked together in diverse combinations including, since 2004, �Dans les arbres� a project completed by French clarinettist Xavier Charles. Their radical all-acoustic improvisation explores sonorities and textures that frequently sound electronic, and also often sounds �composed� � with echoes of Cage and the New York School.
