KÜCHEN/LIPSCOMB/OSGOOD
Known for their groundbreaking collaborations and fearless approach to music, the improvising
trio of Martin Küchen, Jon Lipscomb, and Kresten Osgood bring a wealth of experience to the
stage.
Küchen, celebrated for his work with groups like Angles and his acclaimed solo sax albums, is a
powerful force in the European scene. Lipscomb, a master of experimental guitar, has worked
with luminaries like Brandon Lopez and has explored solo guitar improvisation, while Osgood,
one of Denmark’s most active musicians, has earned recognition through his work with Roscoe
Mitchell, Peter Brötzmann, and practically everyone and anyone who has touched the music.
Together, they create a dynamic, unpredictable performance that defies genre and pushes the
boundaries of themselves and the audience. The trio will release an album of a recorded live set
from H15 in Copenhagen in 2026 on Scottish label Scattered Archive.
SOFTVÄRR
The quartet is rooted in the vital free improv scene of Copenhagen and delivers a highly volatile music expressing ideas ranging from frenetic textures to fragmented songlike gestures.
The band consists of international players from Germany, Sweden, Chile, and Denmark:
Sarah Buchner is a highly original vocalist from Cologne with an always intense musical presence. Mika Persdotter is a classically trained violist known from the string quartet Halvcirkel, her open minded approach makes her able to fit into almost any situation.
Tomas Gubbins is seeking to expand the vocabular of the electric guitar with a minimalist and precise attitude. Asger Thomsen is always trying to push the limits for sounds to be produced from the acoustic double bass while making sure that the music moves forward.
