Description
Featuring the great Eric Schaefer, Gebhard Ullmann, Oliver Potratz and Hans Lüdemann, mikroPULS deliver their self-titles new album. The group's experimentation with microtonality is both an intellectual challenge and a bridge to the music of the African American experience from which jazz grew and to which all four musicians of mikroPULS feel connected: the blues.
For a number of years, Gebhard Ullmann focused much of his attention on the bass clarinet, feeling that on the tenor saxophone he was self-consciously aware of the work of his illustrious role models. His involvement with micro-tonality allowed him to deal with his instrument from another perspective and develop a new and more personal sound. Hans Lu¨demann says, "It's interesting that in an age when young musicians are increasingly well-educated and the music is becoming ever more perfect, more and more people feel a need to find or create a space where things can be 'dirtier' and more out of focus." The music of mikroPULS lives in the space between the extremes of discovering new worlds and returning to the roots of African American music.
