Favre, Pierre - Now

"Pierre Favre: The percussionist as poet; the drummer as soundscape painter; the composer as storyteller. Singing Drums was Pierre Favre's first percussion ensemble. A title which sets the agenda: the search for a voice for drums. Hardly any other drummer has worked as consistently with drumming and percussion ensembles as Pierre Favre. Pierre Favre worked with his new ensemble with Chris Jaeger, Valeria Zangger and Markus Lauterburg for five years on this repertoire. Although most of the pieces are written compositions, they play them all off by heart and there is lots of room for improvisation. Pierre Favre says, 'And the most complex and risky parts are played with a smile.'"
