Drums and piano as a duo - a rather unusual line-up. Chris Gall on piano and Bernhard Schimpelsberger on percussion played together in the band "Taalism", after which they went their separate ways for almost 10 years. While Bernhard Schimpelsberger immersed himself deeper and deeper in the world of Indian rhythm in London and India and toured the world with renowned Indian musicians such as Anoushka Shankar and Akram Khan, Chris Gall mainly followed quirky, jazz-rock paths with his piano trio and soloist and has been touring for two years as a guest musician with the successful formation Quadro Nuevo.

The two artists met again for a STUDIO CONCERT at Bauer Studios. The unusual duo combination enables the musicians to interact very quickly and directly with each other, to abandon the usual roles of their instruments and to constantly exchange ideas. The piano transforms from its original melodic, harmonic playing into a rhythm instrument and takes on the grooves of the drums. Using specially made percussion instruments, such as the garrapata, Bernhard Schimpelsberger in turn devotes himself to the melodic function and merges with the piano.

The result is a fascinating symbiosis and an exciting dialog between jazz, minimal music and world music with impressionistic piano sounds and the subtle rhythms of various percussion instruments. A concert experience all about rhythm, in which the poetry and complexity of Indian music meets the elements of Western music! The recordings are documented purely analog and live on vinyl!

Press:

"You don't hear something like this every day, and I mean that in more ways than one. Drums and piano in a duet, that alone is an unusual constellation. Pianist Chris Gall and drummer Bernhard Schimpelsberger proved themselves to be established musicians with a penchant for exciting sounds at this studio concert in the popular Neuklang series."
