RASMUSSEN-RASTIG-CORSANO

CHRIS CORSANO (US) | drums
METTE RASMUSSEN (DK/NO) | alto sax
LOUIS RASTIG (DE) | piano

CHRIS CORSANOis a drummer who’s been operating at the vanguards of free 
improvisation, avant-rock, and noise music since the late ’90s. He’s 
worked with saxophonists like Joe McPhee, Akira Sakata, Paul Flaherty 
and Evan Parker; guitarists such as Jim O’Rourke, Sir Richard Bishop and 
Nels Cline; and also one-of-a-kind artists Björk and Jandek. His style 
incorporates high energy free improvising, more textural work, and 
augmenting the drum kit with everything from cello strings stretched 
across the skins to disassembled saxophone parts. Capable of generating 
narrative out of permanent ecstasy, Corsano never ceases to be 
profoundly affirmative and imposing of his language, and being an 
absolute and charismatic virtuoso, he simultaneously is one of the most 
noble and generous improvisers of the few last decades.

METTE RASMUSSENis a Danish saxophone player living in Trondheim, Norway. 
Drawing from the energy of free jazz, her playing has been described as 
a head full of ideas, that she executes to the maximum. With an ongoing 
study of new sonic possibilities she uses a broad pallet of techniques, 
extending the grammar of the instrument. The last several years she has 
been highly active with concerts in Europe, the United States, and 
Russia, collaborating with Alan Silva, Tobias Delius, Rudi Mahall, 
Wilbert de Jode, Axel Dörner, John Edwards & Craig Taborn. In addition 
she has toured extensively in the UK with the band Trio Riot.

LOUIS RASTIGis a Berlin-based musician, composer and curator working in 
the fields of improvised music and contemporary free jazz as a pianist 
as well as with analogue synthesizers in noise rock contexts. He has 
worked with international musicians such as Michael Zerang, Joe McPhee, 
Johannes Bauer or Paal Nilssen-Love and with the Trio “Deimantė” 
featuring Belgian vibraphonist/guitarist Els Vandeweyer and Russian 
powerhouse Olga Nosova. He composed the soundtrack for the ZDF/Arte 
production “Vaterlandsverräter” in 2011 and is active as artistic 
director of the “A L’ARME! Festival” for improvised music, avantgarde 
jazz and the interdisciplinary arts at Radialsystem V and Berghain Berlin.
