Luis Vicente (PT) / John Edwards (GB) / Vasco Trilla (ES) + Ajtai Péter

With two albums released as a duo, Vicente and Trilla joined forces with British legendary double bassist John Edwards for a series of concerts in Europe - including a concert in Lumen together with Péter Ajtai.

John Edwards is a true virtuoso whose staggering range of techniques and boundless musical imagination have redefined the possibility of the double bass and dramatically expanded its role, whether playing solo or with others. Perpetually in demand, he has played with Evan Parker, Sunny Murray, Derek Bailey, Joe McPhee, Lol Coxhill, Peter Brötzmann, Mulatu Astatke and many others.

Luis Vicente is a Portuguese trumpet player based in Lisbon. He is a very active part of the European free jazz scene, playing in several groups with different concepts – from totally free to composed music – having always presented the sense of freedom, which he can never leave aside.

Vasco Trilla is one of the most active, versatile and creative drummers of the Barcelona scene. He has recorded more than 100 albums ranging from free improvisation, jazz rock to progressive rock metal and ambient music. The key attributes of his success seem to consist of the three factors: imagination, cross-genre experience in performing music and the constant search for expanding the limits of the instrument.

KRISE (NO)

Norwegian quartet KRISE is based on microtonal studies and blends elements from folk music, rock, contemporary music, and club. Inspired by theories from Eivind Groven, Ben Johnston, and Harry Partch, KRISE raises awareness of experimental tonality by exploring sounds that lie outside the traditional equal-tempered system. The ensemble's musical exploration focuses on uncovering the essence of each instrument's sound and how they intertwine in a dynamic and improvised interplay.
