CONTENT - miniatures become narratives
The double meaning of the word CONTENT, on the one hand "the content" and on the other "to be satisfied", is the inspiration for Oli Bott's collection of compositions. Often just a few lines of composed music are the starting point for improvised narratives in which the four musicians constantly redesign the form and arrangements of the pieces with great enthusiasm. The result is a plea for trust, respect, openness, listening and empathy.
