about musicians:
Frank Wilke: His first musical preferences in the mid sixties of the
last century were acquired on parental turntable player sitting
cross-legged. Even here, there was a strong interest in wind music.
After a classical education on tenor saxophone in the 1990' years and a
prolonged musical dormancy departure from the saxophone occured and
starting the self-taught trumpet playing was about time in 2005, later
adding the trombone and french horn, with an emphasis on free jazz.
Within this context his music is supported by a spontaneously designed
compositional framework with an emphasis on formal details.
AndrÈ D. is a musician without borders. Motivated by atonal and improvised musics, he has been conducting sound experiments both in groups and solo situations since the end of the 90s. in 2011, he created his project ìdarius improviseî to produce and play free-form music (free-jazz, experimental, electro-acoustic, noise, improv, etc.) until now and meanwhile his new projects, several albums were published by europeans, australian and north american netlabels. He participates in various collective projects such as Graphic ships (N.Y), L'ouÔe la vue, Nos Namajs (France), Foundation Quartet (Scotland) or The plastic heart pendulum quartet... he is also an active member of the soundcloud network where he collaborates with musicians exploring the whole world of possibilities offered by the free exchange of digital files.
