Or different: Once upon a time and one has always pretended as if. Until at the end, when
all drums collapsed into eachother, somewhat weirdass sticks, not really working at all and
devices for noise and guitars and a little prank, the voice always suppressing a little laugh.
It's a bit of a dump, this band, imagine a car too small, the dog needs to sit somewhere
and for the thousandst time something falls apart, you need to phone Texas for a
replacement piece for Christ's sake or see whether there is something stored somewhere
in some hole. Yes and then there is schnaps, yes and then there's an argument and a
music of unfulfilled dreams, it's possible to be on the quest for something until the end,
throughout this crap life, and probably preferably together, within this crooked triangle. Far
into the night everyone gets along again and accidentally invents a wondrous language,
folded onto a sofa in the farthermost attic or truck without windows. And the dog urinating
polytox, in the place where it's the most beautiful.

JESPER ZEUTHEN EMPTY POCKET TRIO
Jesper Zeuthen: alto saxophone
Jesper Nordberg: double bass
Marko Jelača: drums
Jesper Zeuthen is one of Danish jazz's most distinct and uncompromising alto saxophonists. A saxophonist with his own unique sound and tone, and always in search of a personal expression in music. Jesper Zeuthen emerged in the late 1960s, and has primarily been found on the more boundary-pushing and experimental side of the scene, including in Blue Sun, New Jungle Orchestra, Zeuthen – Friis –
Mazur, Jesper Zeuthen Trio and in recent years in collaborations with tough younger musicians, where his deeply personal approach to music has been a sought-after commodity.

DYAD AKA
Sarvin Asa: cello
Asger Thomsen: double bass
Dyad Aka, a cello and double bass duo based in Copenhagen, dives into the realm of experimental soundscapes, blending raw, textural improvisation with refined tonal exploration. Their music evokes the organic resonance of wood and strings.
Sarvin Asa and Asger Thomsen represent the younger generation of boundary-seeking string players, having collaborated in various settings around improv and composed material, most lately the project “Screening of Granada” setting to music movies of the experimental filmmaker José Val del Omar.
