Την Δευτέρα 2 Μαΐου ο Πρώτος Όροφος θα φιλοξενήσει για μια συναυλία το ντουέτο των Pierre Borel (σαξόφωνο) και τον Joel Grip (κοντραμπάσο).

Pierre Borel
Pierre Borel is a saxophonist and composer, working in the field of improvised and experimental music. Since 2006 he is residing in Berlin taking part of the high flow of ongoing creativity that is centered there. He has performed in most european countries, Japan, Russia and USA and is a regular playmate of Joel Grip, Hannes Lingens, Derek Shirley, Christian Lillinger, Axel Dörner, Tobias Delius to name a few.
He obtained a master degree at the Jazz Institute in Berlin in 2008, and continues questioning sound and composition through his studies in electro-acoustic music.
Together with Florian Bergmann and Hannes Lingens, he was running the Umlaut Berlin collective that in recent years released a great number of records and organized four festivals of improvised music.

Joel Grip
Improvising bassist, Joel Grip, makes music at the countenance of the other.
Anchored to a spontaneously fermented musical approach, his music reverberates and transforms within a collective body of timing and sound. Joel Grip practice improvising, as a way to learn and develop a forthright sound, and embrace its reactiveness, rapidity, and startling
character with the aim of pushing music to intense, ecstatic and transformative levels. His vivid connection to the history of Afro-American musics (its origins and its avant-gardes on both sides of the Atlantic) has an outlet in celebratory, heavy and risky musical performances. An assumably all encompassing approach to handcraft music making, and the urge of making it publicly available – thus put in ceremonial function in terms of familiar and radical rooms for regular meetings of listeners and creators – have given Joel Grip a vital role in, above all, Central and Northern Europe. He has lived and worked in Stockholm, Baltimore, Paris and Berlin, and is the co-founder of artist run organisations such as Hagenfesten (Dala-Floda), Umlaut Records (Paris, Berlin, Stockholm), Au Topsi Pohl (Berlin), Umlicht Films (France, Sweden), Public Health Music (Ukraine, Sweden), and Curved Pitch.
