about

Bettina Wenzel: vocals
Martin Zrost: reeds
Seppo Gruendler: guitar, electronics
Josef Klammer: drums, electronics

liner notes:
There are simpler tasks in life than for a loose acoustic improvisation group with an essentially conventional line-up to find their own unique sound. The German-Austrian Pivot Quartet has taken shape after just three years, despite a dynamic spectrum that permits enthralling interaction at many different levels.
Even if the collective spirit of improvisation pervades these musical intentions with great freshness, the magnificent vocal acrobat Bettina Wenzel nevertheless puts her impress on the inspired quartet, somewhere between restraint and exploration.
And if you want to hear it that way, some passages are even groovy. Paradoxical? Unorthodox!
