Fresh Dust (SI, PT, FR)
Benoit Delbecq, piano, preparation; Susana Santos Silva, trumpet; Samo Šalamon, acoustic guitar, Jaka Berger, drums, preparation
Following the release of Hilarious Experts in 2019, the Fresh Dust project, helmed by Jaka Berger, is back in a greatly reconfigured form. Now transformed into a quartet featuring first-class international personnel, its (almost) free improvisations, for which Berger has written thematic frameworks devised as a mixture of notation and graphics, place it within the context of contemporary free jazz. Half of the team is composed of two featured artists – Portuguese trumpeter and composer Susana Santos Silva, “one of the most exciting improvisers in the world” (Downbeat), and award-winning Parisian pianist and composer Benoit Delbecq, a trend-setter who injects the spirit of jazz into John Cage’s prepared piano. The Slovenian members are Samo Šalamon, one of the nation’s most distinguished guitarists, and Jaka Berger, a drummer and percussionist widely known for his stylistic versatility. By means of extended techniques and preparations, the new quartet breaks the traditional mould of free music.
